nkn56 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I have created a Windows 10 VM on my unraid server. It all seems to be working satisfactorily, with one exception: When I first boot the VM, I have no trouble connecting to in from a Windows 10 host on my network. However, once my host goes to sleep/hibernate or once it restarts, I can no longer connect to the VM. The error message is Quote Remote Desktop can't find the computer 'DESKTOP-AR3CLUV'. This might mean that 'DESKTOP-AR3CLUV' does not belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and domain that you are trying to connect to. I can still connect to the VM with VNC, so I know that it is still running. But the only way I have found to reconnect with RDP is to restart the VM. I am hoping that somebody out there can help me figure out how to get RDP to reliably connect to my VM. Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Did you try using the IP address instead of the name? Quote Link to comment

That worked perfectly, so I thank you for the advice. I still don't understand why 'DESKTOP-AR3CLUV' stops working, but as long as I have this workaround, that's all I need. Quote Link to comment
