RDP linking through custom properties

[EcoStruxureIT]

You can create an RDP link through the Custom Properties. When you later select the custom property, the system will launch a Remote Desktop Connection for that server.

1. Download and save the remote.rdp file.
2. Open it in Notepad++ or similar text editor.
   1. Replace <HOSTNAME> with the hostname or IP address of the RDP server and replace the port if is running on another port.
   2. Replace <USERNAME>
3. In IT Advisor, create a new custom property and set the Value to: file://<PATH_TO_FOLDER>/remote.rdp
   A link that can launch an RDP session has been generated.

NOTE: The .rdp file is stored on one client, so the link will not work from other clients. To enable the link on multiple clients, store the .rdp file in a shared location, such as an FTP or Web server.
