  1. Clicking Connect creates and downloads a Remote Desktop Protocol file (.rdp file). Click Open to use this file.

  2. You will get a warning that the .rdp is from an unknown publisher. This is normal. In the Remote Desktop window, click Connect to continue.

    Screenshot of a warning about an unknown publisher.

  3. In the Windows Security window, type the credentials for an account on the virtual machine and then click OK.

    Local account - this is usually the local account user name and password that you specified when you created the virtual machine. In this case, the domain is the name of the virtual machine and it is entered as vmname\username.

    Domain joined VM - if the VM belongs to a domain, enter the user name in the format Domain\Username. The account also needs to either be in the Administrators group or have been granted remote access privileges to the VM.

    Domain controller - if the VM is a domain controller, type the user name and password of a domain administrator account for that domain.

  4. Click Yes to verify the identity of the virtual machine and finish logging on.

    Screenshot showing a message abut verifying the identity of the VM.
