RDP
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) allows a "thin client" to communicate with a terminal server across a
Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) by means of a dial-up, Integrated Services
Digital Network (ISDN), Digital Subscriber, Line (DSL), or Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection.
RDP is designed to provide remote display and input capabilities over network connections for
Windows-based applications running on a server.
This section describes the procedure to create a connection to a Windows Terminal Server using
Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol.
