Using remote desktop to access some systems on a regular basis (like say logging onto a domain controller or a file/application server daily) can be a chore if you type in the system name,user name,password,domain everytime you want to access it.
Why not save the RDP connection to each of the frequently accessed boxes so that all that we need to do is just double click the corresponding RDP file?
This will save a lot of time and also increase productivity 🙂 .
To do this :
1.Click on Start>run>mstsc to bring up the Remote Desktop connection window.
2.Select Options to expand the window.
3.Enter the system name which needs to be accessed,the user name,password and domain if applicable.If you dont select the Save Password option,you will be prompted to enter one whenever the RDP file is accessed else you will directly get the remote screen.
4.Select Save As and specify the location where this rdp file will be saved.
5.All done!
Peace.
