The first thing you need is the IP address of the server you want to remotely reach. The second are your login credentials: username and password.

Steps to RDP Into a Server

  • (You can also search for it if you prefer.)

  • Next, you will be prompted to enter your login details in the login window. That done, you can click OK.
