How do I connect to a remote Windows 7 desktop from a Linux machine? | Microsoft Windows | TechRepublic.com

How do I connect to a remote Windows 7 desktop from a Linux machine?

Although most administrators do their work within a Windows environment, there are times when an administrator will want to (or have to) connect to a remote Windows machine from within a Linux machine. Now most administrators are used to doing this from within Windows. But from within Linux it is a different story.

There are plenty of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) tools available for Linux that allow you to connect to just about any platform, but for our purposes, we will be connecting to a Windows 7 desktop from an Ubuntu 9.10 desktop. But we’ll make this a bit more complicated. Since “the cloud” is all the rage, we will make this Linux-to-Windows connection with the Windows 7 instance being served as a virtual machine from a different Ubuntu Server using VirtualBox.

This blog post is also available in PDF format in a free TechRepublic download.

In order to make that connection a little easier to understand, let’s map it out with a diagram (Figure A).

Figure A (see on the site)

The Windows 7 desktop is served up by the Ubuntu Server via VirtualBox 3.0.

Now that you can see a visual representation, the connection should be easy to figure out.

For the purposes of this document, I am going to assume:

  • You have a working Ubuntu Server.
  • You have VirtualBox working on your Ubuntu Server.
  • You have Windows 7 installed on VirtualBox.
  • You have a working Ubuntu desktop.

The above issues are simple to resolve. There are a few others that might not be so obvious, so we’ll discuss those here.
