→Part 2: Accessing Your Windows VM Remotely Using RDP
In this section, we'll discover how to remotely connect to the Windows Server's desktop environment over the Internet from your computer.
# In the ''Overview'' tab for the Virtual Machine created in Part 1, look for the '''IP address or FQDN''' entry. This is the address you will use to connect later in this section. Write it down (Hover over the URL, and you'll see a ''Copy to clipboard'' icon).
# Look for the '''NAT protocol''' entry. This is the port number you'll use to connect. Write this down as well.
# If you're on a Windows PC: Open the '''Remote Desktop Connection''' application. It comes pre-installed with the OS.
# If you're on a Mac: Download the '''Microsoft Remote Desktop''' app from the Mac App Store [https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id1295203466 here].
# Open the ''Remote Desktop'' application.
# In the ''Computer'' field, enter the IP address and port you wrote down from step 1and 2.Use the following format: ''URL:portnumber'' (Example: ops705108.canadacentral.cloudapp.azure.com:62245)
# In the ''User name'' field, enter your Seneca username.
# Click the '''Connect''' button.
