Scenario

In this section, taking the Windows Server 2012 R2 DataCenter Edition 64-bit operating system as an example, we will introduce how to log in to the Windows cloud server from a mobile device via Microsoft Remote Desktop client.

Prerequisites

· The Windows cloud server is in the Running state.

· You have obtained the username and password of the Windows cloud server. If you forget the password, you should reset the cloud server password. For details, see Reset ECS Password in Console.

· Port 3389 has been opened to the inbound security group where the Windows cloud server is located.

· Windows Firewall is not enabled or port 3389 is released after it is enabled.

· The login tool has network connectivity with the Windows cloud server. If you use a terminal on the public network to log in, you need to bind an elastic IP address to your Windows cloud server. If you use this method to log in over the Intranet, you do not need to bind the Elastic IP, such as VPN or Cloud Dedicated Access.

· The mobile device has the Microsoft Remote Desktop client installed.

2. In the upper-right corner of the Remote Desktop page, click the Add icon and select Desktop.

3. On the Add Desktop page, set the login information and click SAVE.

o PC name: Enter the elastic IP address of the Windows instance that needs to be logged in.
