How to Connect to a Remote Computer with Windows Remote Desktop Connection


Windows Remote Desktop Connection is a protocol built-in to Windows 7 and Windows Vista that lets you connect to another Windows-based machine and control the machine remotely. This is a great tool for systems and network administrators as well as tech support teams offering remote assistance. When you log in with Remote Desktop Connection, it will be as if you were sitting right in front of the host computer. You'll be able to read/write the files on the computer and perform any necessary functions on the computer. For security reasons, Windows Remote Desktop Connection is disabled by default. Here's how to get it up and running on your Windows desktop machine.

From the machine that will be accepting a Windows Remote Desktop connection, log in to Windows and click the Start button.

Right-click Computer and choose Properties.

From the Systems Properties Windows, click Remote Settings.

In the Remote tab of System Properties, select the option under Remote Desktop that reads Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (more secure). This is the most secure option and will work with all Windows 7 and Windows Vista computers. However, computers running Remote Desktop Connection for Mac or attempting to connect from a Linux-based or third-party Remote Desktop Connection client may not have access. If you'd like, you can choose the second option, which reads Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop which will allow these clients to connect.
