The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a common method used in server administration. In Windows Server 2012, the new Server Manager is capable of remotely managing multiple servers. However, in certain instances, the administrators have to remotely login to these servers using a remote desktop connection. This procedure is explained in the following recipe:
From the Start window, right-click My Computer and select Properties.
This will bring up the old-fashioned System Properties page.
Select Remote Settings from the left-hand side page.
From the Remote tab, you can modify the remote desktop configuration.
