To log onto your savvisdirect CloudServer running Windows Server 2008, you need to create a Remote Desktop connection using a Remote Desktop Client. You can use the native Remote Desktop Connection application if you are connecting from a PC hosting Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 PC or if you are connecting from a server hosting Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008. If you are connecting from a Mac PC, the Remote Desktop Connection application is available in Office 2011 or you can download it for free from here: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/remote-desktop-client.
Step-by-Step directions:
-
Launch Remote Desktop Client application
-
For Windows, the default path is Start Menu\All Programs\Accessories\Remote Desktop Connection
-
-
Enter the IP address of the server (available in the savvisdirect Management Console under Your CloudServers)
-
For the username, use Administrator. The password is available in the email sent to you when the server was provisioned
