Ii. Use of rdesktop

Rdesktop is a command line-based tool that is easy to use. You can use man rdesktop to query command parameters.

You can connect to the remote Windows desktop.-f indicates full screen display,-a 16 indicates 16 bit color, followed by the address of the Windows server.

You can use Ctrl + Alt + Enter to switch to the linux Desktop.

Note: When you exit the Remote Desktop, select "logout" instead of "shutdown ".

Ii. Use of tsclient

The tsclient is a graphical interface. Enter the tsclient in the command line to open the main interface, enter the IP address of the remote computer, and connect the user name and password.

To use tsclient, you must install rdesktop.

After tsclient is successfully installed, you can choose Application> Internet> terminal service client from the menu.

Iii. settings on Windows Server

Disable XP Terminal Services to enable multi-user logon. Otherwise, the original user logs out automatically.

To disable Terminal Services, choose Control Panel> performance maintenance> Administrative Tools> Services> Terminal Services, right-click and select properties, and select Disabled as the Startup type.

However, the remote control fails after Terminal Services is disabled. You have to open it again.

Iv. Two points

1. Windows must be remotely controlled after the user logs on.

2. If no password is set for the user name, you cannot log on remotely. "You cannot log on due to account restrictions" is displayed ".
