How do I access my Microsoft Windows server?

After server instance creation, Remote Desktop into your server using either the embedded ALTERNcloud Console or a terminal emulator such as Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac or Microsoft Remote Desktop for Windows.

The default username at server instance creation is:

Administrator

The default password at server instance creation is:

Temporary101

Please change your password immediately after loging in the server for the first time, otherwise everybody can access your server and related data.

 

PS: Before your instance can be accessed via Remote Desktop from the Internet, make sure to:

  • Assign a Floating (public) IP Address to it.
  • Assign a RDP Security Group rule to it.
  • Please note you can access a Microsoft Windows Server instance directly via the embedded ALTERNcloud Console without the need for an IP address or a RDP Security Group rule.
