Hi Brian,

Thanks for the suggestion. I added the port 3389 to the security groups and it worked. I am now able to perform Remote Desktop Connection to the windows virtual machine.

Regards,
Krishnaprasad

 I don't think the default security groups (visible in Horizon or nova secgroup-list-rules) has 3389 open, unless maybe you are running Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V as the hypervisor?  There are 2 layers of firewalls.  The OpenStack security groups outside the windows guest and the windows firewall inside the guest.  Both have to allow those packets to pass.

Hi Brian,


The Windows server 2012 OpenStack edition comes with TCP port 3389 enabled. I don’t think we should specify it in the security groups as this is already taken care in the Windows firewall.

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:
