vRealize Automation 7.5 Use Custom RDP file

WasBert_Rabo · ‎01-15-2019

I followed the instructions of article: "Create a Custom RDP File to Support RDP Connections for Provisioned Machines" and "Add RDP Connection Support to Your Windows Machine Blueprints"

The Custom Properties are added to the VM but when I select "Connect UsingRDP" the settings of my custom rdp file are not used.

Custom property is: RDP.File.Name C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC\Server\Rdp\Console.rdp

Is there someone who has got this working and is can explain what has to change to make this work.

Are you getting any error message?

How do you confirm that your RDP file is not being used?

Hi GS,

Thanks for the reply.

I followed the steps as described in that article. I can see vRA does use an other RDP file because the settings from my Rdp file are not present in the downloaded rdp file.

I'm not sure about the property: VirtualMachine.Rdp.File should the path be in quotes? I've tried many different notations but no success.

Downloaded RDP file contains these settings:

full address:s:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

username:s:John@Do.com

screen mode id:i:2

session bpp:i:16

winposstr:s:0,1,-903,402,-103,1002

compression:i:1

keyboardhook:i:2

redirectdrives:i:0

redirectprinters:i:1

redirectcomports:i:0

displayconnectionbar:i:1

autoreconnection enabled:i:1

authentication level:i:0

alternate shell:s:

shell working directory:s:

disable wallpaper:i:1

disable full window drag:i:1

disable menu anims:i:1

disable themes:i:0

disable cursor setting:i:0

bitmapcachepersistenable:i:1

Expected settings are:
