May 22, 20179 yr hi there, I'm unable to RDP into my VM. I have RDP enabled on the VM and local admin account password protected. I'm using br0, I can ping it, I can access it by the built-in VNC viewer. however, after the RDP client authenticates me, it just flashes "initiating RDP session" and disappears. No errors. I have tried two different clients and both behave the same way. thanks
May 22, 20179 yr What IP is your VM assigned? What IP is your unraid machine? Which IP are you RDP'ing to?

May 22, 20179 yr You may want to look at the Local Security Policy of the machine. Start >>RUN>>Local Security Policy Expand Local Policies and then User Rights Assignments. Something could be missing in the "Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services." There is also a "Deny log on through Remote Desktop Services" that can lead to problems as well.

I double checked and all of the settings are in place including local policies.

May 22, 20179 yr Just for giggles, try installing a VNC server in the VM and see if you can connect to that.

RDP won't work over a public network. Gary Edited May 23, 20179 yr by GHunter

May 24, 20179 yr Author I have upgraded the VM to Win10 and RDP is now working. This is a good enough of a solution, I suppose I'll stick with win10.
