Re: Remote access to the windows virtual machine

 

Hi Gabriel,

The path to the file was correct and I had changed it to 1024 * 768 and I could see the change in the VNC window size. Thanks for your suggestion and it is working.

Regards,
Krishnaprasad

Hi,

>From the openstack documentation: (http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/openstack-compute/install/apt/content/faq-about-vnc.html)

A: These values are hard-coded in a Django HTML template. To alter them, you must edit the template file _detail_vnc.html. The location of this file will vary based on Linux distribution. On Ubuntu 12.04, the file can be found at/usr/share/pyshared/horizon/dashboards/nova/templates/nova/instances_and_volumes/instances/_detail_vnc.html.
Modify the width and height parameters:

Regards,
Gabriel

For windows, you could add TCP port 3389 to your security group and enable remote desktop access in windows.  The VNC console access in Horizon is really intended for administrative/management access rather than production usage.

Hallo All,

Currently, I use VNC to access the windows virtual machine deployed in OpenStack. But this gives me a smaller view of the Windows GUI or Desktop. Is there any way from the Horizon GUI to have an enlarged view of the Windows Desktop?

Can I get any suggestions to connect to the windows virtual machine remotely apart from using VNC?

Thanks

Hi JuanFra,

Thanks for the suggestion regarding the usage of cloudinit for windows instances.

For all Stackers - I found this URI<http://www.cloudbase.it/ws2012/> useful where there is a Windows Server 2012 Evaluation image available for download and it can be directly deployed to OpenStack. I was able to download and deploy the image in our ESSEX cloud and create a VM successfully out of the image.

Thanks

I think a great tool would be Cloudbase's cloud-init for windows instances:
