Set up the RDP Client

If you are an RDP user, download and install the desktop client so you can log in to Vista.

Determine whether the RDP connection method is best for you. See Cloud Deployment.
If you've determined that an RDP connection is required for the type of work you do in Vista:
  1. Go to Connect to Azure Virtual Desktop with the Remote Desktop client for Windows.
  2. Follow the instructions to download and install the desktop client.
    For a video demonstration:

Your workstation now has the necessary client installed for you to log in to Vista.

If for some reason the desktop client method isn't working for you, see Connect via RDP over the Web.

A one-time configuration is necessary for logging in to Vista. See Log in to Vista - RDP.
