Accessing Remote Desktop; Telnet Server; Enabling Telnet Server - HP ProLiant ML310 G3 Administration Manual

NOTE:
Remote Desktop is only supported on systems running Internet Explorer.
Logging off and disconnecting
Remote Desktop provides two options when closing a client: you can either disconnect or log off the
system.
Disconnecting leaves the session running on the server. You can reconnect to the server and resume the
session. If you are performing a task on the server, such as running a time-consuming query on a
database, you can start the task and disconnect from the session. Later, you can log back on the server,
re-enter the session, and either resume the task or check results. This is especially helpful when operating
over a remote connection on a long-distance toll line.
Logging off ends the session running on the server. Any applications running within the session are
closed, and unsaved changes made to open files will be lost. The next time you log onto the server, a
new session is created.
Remote Desktop requires that all connecting users be authenticated, which is why users must log on
each time they start a session.

Accessing Remote Desktop

On the primary navigation bar, select Maintenance.
2.

Telnet Server

Telnet Server is a utility that lets users connect to machines, log on, and obtain a command prompt
remotely. Telnet Server is preinstalled on the storage server, but must be activated before use.
CAUTION:
For security reasons, the Telnet Server service must be restarted each time the server is restarted.

Enabling Telnet server

Use Remote Desktop to access a command line interface, and then enter the following command:
net start tlntsvr
The Telnet Server service needs to be enabled prior to running this command. The service can be
enabled by opening the services MMC:
1. Select Start > Run, and then enter services.msc.
2.
Locate and right-click the Telnet service, and then select Properties.
3. Depending on your preference, in the Startup Type drop-down box:
• Click Automatic, and then click OK to have the Telnet server start up automatically on every
reboot.
• Click Manual, and then click OK to have the Telnet server start up manually every time the
server is rebooted.
