# Connect to your Windows RDP from a Windows PC

Use Remote Desktop Connection, built into Windows, to sign in to your server with its IP address and the Administrator account.

Spoken in English, with captions in English and Arabic. The steps are also written out below.

## Steps (transcript)

1.

Click Start, type Remote Desktop Connection (or mstsc) and open it.

2.

Paste your server’s IP address in Computer. Click Show Options and enter Administrator as the User name.

3.

Click Connect, paste your password and click OK.

4.

The first time, Windows says the server’s identity cannot be verified. That is normal for a new server: tick Don’t ask me again and click Yes.

5.

Your server opens full screen. Use the bar at the top to minimise it or disconnect; the server keeps running.

6.

Next time, the address is in the Computer list. Use Save As under Show Options to keep a shortcut.

### الاتصال بخادم Windows RDP من كمبيوتر Windows

استخدم Remote Desktop Connection المدمج في Windows لتسجيل الدخول إلى خادمك بعنوان IP وحساب Administrator.

1.

اضغط «ابدأ» واكتب Remote Desktop Connection (أو mstsc) ثم افتحه.

2.

الصق عنوان IP لخادمك في حقل Computer. اضغط Show Options وأدخل Administrator في حقل User name.

3.

اضغط Connect والصق كلمة المرور ثم اضغط OK.

4.

في المرة الأولى يقول Windows إنه لا يمكن التحقق من هوية الخادم. هذا طبيعي لخادم جديد: حدّد Don’t ask me again واضغط Yes.

5.

يُفتح خادمك بملء الشاشة. استخدم الشريط في الأعلى لتصغيره أو قطع الاتصال، ويبقى الخادم قيد التشغيل.

6.

في المرة القادمة ستجد العنوان في قائمة Computer. استخدم Save As ضمن Show Options لحفظ اختصار.
