RDP connection to VirtualBox virtual machine

[Brother]

RDP stands for Remote Desktop Protocol.
For example, you started exploring Windows Server. You are still an uncertain user of this OS, but you would like to master this operating system. Installing, configuring and removing programs is a process that can disable the OS. As a beginner, you don't know what exactly this or that program is responsible for, do you? Experimenting on a locally installed OS can turn out to be disastrous and lead to undesirable results, while working with a virtual machine allows you to approach the process of learning the OS much more boldly.

1. Install VirtualBox Extension Pack
2. Select the virtual machine> Configure> Display> Remote access> check the box next to "Enable remote access server"
3. Leave the default value in the "Server port" field, since port 3389 is the standard RDP port. Leave the rest of the parameters unchanged. Click "OK" to save the changes.
4. Launch an RDP client such as mstsc, a standard RDP client for Windows users. This client can be launched in two modes: from the command line (for help on working with the client from the command line, enter mstsc /?) And from the Start menu (Win + Q> mstsc or Win + R> mstsc).
5. In the "Computer" field, enter the address <IP-address of the guest OS>: 3389. Click the "Connect" button.
6. With a properly configured connection, you should see a form for entering the username and password. Enter your login information.

If you get a message that the user is denied interactive login, add the user to the list of users who are allowed interactive access.

1. Press the Win + Break key combination or right-click the This PC icon on your Desktop.
2. In the window that appears, click on "Remote Access Settings"
3. In the window that appears, in the "Remote Desktop" section, click on the "Select Users" button
4. Add the desired user to the list
5. Try again to connect to the computer with the credentials of the newly added user.

PS. Using the mstsc program via the rdp protocol, you can also connect to the local OS. Use 127.0.0.2 for the IP address in the Computer field.
