Configuring RDP Connections
In a Virtual Desktop environment, an RDP connection will be assigned by the Virtual
Desktop Broker; you do not need to create an RDP connection manually. The Virtual
Desktop Broker virtual machine can be reset from the thin client by opening the
Connection Settings
dialog box of the virtual machine, and then clicking the reset button
(appears in the top-right of the dialog box).
Use the following guidelines:
Use the following guidelines on the
Connection
tab:
•
Connection Description
- Enter the descriptive name that is to appear in the
connection list (38 characters maximum).
•
Host Names
- Use the list to select the valid DNS server name or the IP address of the
server to which the thin client connection is to be made (you can also use
Browse
next
to the box to make the selection you want). For example, a list of WTS servers on the
local network from which you can select.
Tip
The server name may be resolved using one of two mechanisms: DNS, and
WINS. DNS uses the default domain name in the network control panel to
attempt to construct an FQDN but will also try to resolve the name without
using the default.

Wyse VDA

®
Virtual Desktop Accelerator
software to provide an “accelerated” user experience on remote desktop sessions with
high round-trip delay between the server and client.
