Remote desktop protocol
Software needed
Remote Desktop Client software is provided as part of the standard installation of Windows for
Windows 2000, 2003, and XP systems. Generally, there are no issues, because it is installed in the
windows\system32\ directory. A Remote Desktop Client program is standard in major Linux
distributions and is available as an open source package that can be installed if it’s not already
present. Make sure the Remote Desktop Client is in your user path on your Linux/Unix server.
Usage notes
You can perform applications management and most diagnostics from the standard Remote
Desktop connection. On Windows Server 2003, however, note that there are actually two different
types of connection – one for general access and one to take over the primary VGA data stream.
Some applications may require access to the VGA data. Windows systems prior to Server 2003
provide the VGA facility on the standard data stream.
To get to the VGA video stream, do either of these steps:
▪
Install additional software (tsmmc.msc) on your XP system.
At the command line, change the command in Virtual KVM from:
$RDC$
to:
tsmmc.msc
The VGA video stream is available for WinXP in the Win 2K3 administrative service pack for
Win2K3, on the Windows Server 2003 CD, or online from:
microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6315
or
▪
Make a standard remote desktop connection to the W2k3 server and then run the tsmmc
command remotely on the target W2k3 server. The advantage of this method is that it doesn’t
require any additional software to be loaded onto Windows systems, and it works equally well
with Remote Desktop Client from Linux and Unix workstations.
To reach the VGA data stream from within an existing RDP connection:
1
Log in with RDP.
2
Choose Start
