remote-desktop | A toy remote desktop implemented by python | Computer Vision library

I'm trying to enable remote desktop on a container image.

For the Reset function, I go to Settings > Updates and Security > Recovery > Reset this PC. So this is a choice that I make, and on that basis I want to choose for that system to run a script after the Reset - and we know that should be possible as we can create completely customised Windows installation ISOs that install apps and Features in a clean state, so can someone tell me how to do a quite simple things - to just get Windows to run a PowerShell script after that Reset?

Actually, I only want to run a couple of lines:

I'm trying to build an auto config batch file to set up new PC's the way I need them configured. One of the things I need to do is to enable RDP.

I have found this post which gives a solution involving changing a registry key:

reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000000 /f

Many other posts and blogs give the same advice.

However, when I test this on my system, it only works if remote desktop has been enabled before, several times.

If I use the standard settings interface to enable RDP, I get an "enable remote desktop" popup, asking me to confirm that I want to allow RDP. I select yes, and the registry setting changes. I use the settings interface to turn RDP back off, I get another popup to confirm, I click yes, and the registry setting changes back.

However, it does not work the other way around - changing the registry setting does not affect the slider in the standard settings interface. Setting the registry key to zero does not enable RDP. I have checked that the firewall is configured to allow RDP, and that the relevant RDP services are all started. As soon as I turn the settings RDP slider on, I can RDP into the machine. Once I turn it off, even if I change the registry setting back and make sure all services/firewall settings are OK, I can't RDP in any more.

However, if I mess with the Enable RDP settings slider enough, eventually it stops showing the confirmation popup and just does it. At this point, changing that registry key has the desired effect - changing the registry key changes the position of the settings slider, and allows me to RDP into the machine as expected.

Obviously this makes my batch file ineffective on new PC's, which is it's whole purpose.

How can I overcome this?

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC Version 1809

(edited to clarify some points)

I created windows VM on azure and I login to VM using RDP. After login, I changed RDS "Limit number of connections" to 2. Now I restart the VM and I cannot login anymore. It says "The number of connections to this computer is limited and all connections are in use right now. Try connecting later or contact your system administrator"

I have access to powershell/PS and I can run any PS script in azure portal. So if any could give me PS script that will set the RDS "Limit number of connections" to x that would be great.

Note: RDS - Remote Desktop Service. You can navigate there by typing gpedit.msc to windows Run box. and then Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Connections -> "Limit number of connections"

We have a custom RDP client that we've built using the RDP ActiveX control and MFC: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/termserv/using-remote-desktop-web-connection

In order to support multiple monitors, we use the put_UseMultimon function: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/termserv/imsrdpclientnonscriptable5-usemultimon

This kind of works, but we have to manually stretch the window across the monitors. Maximizing the window will maximize it on one of the monitors. The experience we get is not so good, we can't really use the entire area, and the window title bar remains (when maximizing the window on one screen it disappears).

We would like to get an experience similar to mstsc, where maximizing the window will change it's style to maximized and make the window span on the entire area. Is there a way to maximize a window and make it span across all monitors?

my goal is to configure a minimal Mate desktop that allows only Firefox and limited file management.

Up to now, I managed to strip down most of the desktop by editing the menu files in: /etc/xdg/menus/:

• mate-applications.menu
• mate-preferences-categories.menu

so that it looks now like this:

This strips the menu for all user, which is not optimal, but will do for this scenario. But I would also like to remove or disable the "lock screen" and "shutdown" buttons.

I tried this by configuring an appropriate dconf-Profile. There are settings that sound promising - but have no effect:

I am debugging an RDP connection, and in the .rdp file there is a flag

I am running a virtual machine in Google Cloud. I have installed the default Debian OS, and configured the desktop environment for remote connection, as explained here: https://cloud.google.com/solutions/chrome-desktop-remote-on-compute-engine

I have been able to connect to the instance via Chrome Remote Desktop, however periodically I have the problem that the Remote Desktop says the vm instance is online, however if I try to connect to it I get:

Looking at the Google Cloud console, the instance is clearly running. Normally if I restart the instance the problem is solved, however I have processes running on the instance that I do not want to stop.

UPDATE:

Following the advice from Serhii Rohoza I ran

sudo systemctl status chrome-remote-desktop

The status looked normal, listing:

Active: active (exited) since...

I then ran

sudo systemctl restart chrome-remote-desktop

and this solved the problem, I could log into remote desktop again, but it seemed the VM instance had restarted, which is a big problem since I am running processes on it that should not shut down. I guess this is a problem to send to Google Cloud Services support.

UPDATE 2:

I'm still running into this problem. I normally have a Jupyter Notebook running on the VM - this Notebook must keep running. When I saw the message saying that the remote computer is offline, I logged in via ssh and checked if the Jupyter Notebook is running:

jupyter notebook list

This returned:

http://localhost:8888/?token=9110bf40789971b5e252a272e9497039b4f3b45e506348df :: /home/qgenixtech

So the Notebook was running. I then ran:

sudo systemctl restart chrome-remote-desktop

and after that again:

jupyter notebook list

and then it shows no Notebooks running. So the restart command closed down the Notebook (and also all other open windows on the desktop).

UPDATE 3:

I spoke to a support technician at Google. The problem is on the Remote Desktop side, not the virtual machine. According to the technician this is a known problem, by he didn't have a solution for it. He referred me to these two links from Google Support:

https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/10213547?hl=en

https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/3333421?hl=en

The next option for me is to look at something like X2go

I'm creating an .rdp file (Remote Desktop Protocol), which will open a machine and open a program made by me in .NET C#, I can already do this, but I would need to pass parameters to this program, is there any way?

Commands I'm using in .rdp file:
