Open ' Remote Desktop Connection' - the application is called mstsc.exe.

You can now test whether making a connection is successful from your own Windows computer.

It may then take a few seconds, but thereafter, the status in the Server Manager should jump to Enabled. Click ' Apply' to enable the RDP connection to the server. Then click all three different rules and click Enable Rule on the right:Ĭlose the Windows Firewall screen and the window to enable RDP is shown again. Scroll down to the rules for 'Remote Desktop'. It is best to directly click Windows Firewall with Advanced Security to go to the firewall settings (you can also do this later).Ĭlick the Inbound Rules in the upper left corner to adjust the firewall rules for inbound traffic. You will now see the System Properties, change the selected option from Don’t allow remote connections to this computer to the option below, Allow remote connections to this computer.Ī prompt will appear immediately about the Windows Firewall. One of the options which are visible is Remote Desktop, whose status is Disabled by default. On the right, you will now see a large number of options and their status. Open the Server Manager and select Local Server on the left. Click it to activate the 'noVNC' connection and open the OS. You will see the top of the console on that page. Go to ' BladeVPS' in your TransIP control panel.

How you can do this is described step by step below. The 'RDP' feature is not enabled by default for new Windows Server 2012 or 2016 installations (due to security reasons), but can be enabled via the Server Manager. You can also use this, for example, to move files from and to the server. Because the resolution of the console is limited, and it is nice of course to not always first log into the TransIP control panel, you can also use a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connection. When you order a Windows Server 2012 or 2016 VPS, you can always access it via the console in the control panel.
