Connecting​ ​to​ ​Windows​ ​VM​ ​Using​ ​Microsoft​ ​RDP​ ​on
Windows
Option​ ​1:​ ​Download​ ​RDP​ ​File

Super​ ​conveniently,​ ​Google​ ​Cloud​ ​Console​ ​provides​ ​a​ ​file​ ​with​ ​the​ ​correct​ ​settings​ ​to​ ​connect​ ​to
your​ ​Windows​ ​instance​ ​from​ ​a​ ​Windows​ ​client.
In​ ​Google​ ​Cloud​ ​Console,​ ​under​ ​VM​ ​Instances,​ ​select​ ​the​ ​option​ ​to​ ​download​ ​the​ ​RDP​ ​file​ ​for
windows-instance​:

Locate​ ​the​ ​file​ ​that​ ​was​ ​downloaded​ ​on​ ​your​ ​computer.​ ​If​ ​using​ ​Google​ ​Chrome,​ ​you​ ​can​ ​just
double-click​ ​the​ ​file​ ​at​ ​the​ ​bottom​ ​left​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Chrome​ ​window.​ ​Otherwise,​ ​the​ ​file​ ​will​ ​be​ ​available
in​ ​your​ ​Downloads​ ​folder,​ ​or​ ​the​ ​location​ ​you​ ​selected​ ​when​ ​downloading​ ​the​ ​file.​ ​Once​ ​located,
double-click​ ​the​ ​file​ ​to​ ​open​ ​Remote​ ​Desktop​ ​Connection,​ ​then​ ​click​ ​“Connect”​ ​to​ ​start​ ​the
connection​ ​to​ ​your​ ​Windows​ ​instance.
When​ ​prompted,​ ​enter​ ​the​ ​password​ ​you​ ​copied​ ​earlier.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​no​ ​longer​ ​have​ ​the​ ​password
copied​ ​to​ ​your​ ​clipboard,​ ​go​ ​to​ ​the​ ​VM​ ​Instances​ ​page​ ​in​ ​Google​ ​Cloud​ ​Console,​ ​and​ ​select​ ​the
option​ ​for​ ​“Set​ ​Windows​ ​Password.”​ ​Then,​ ​paste​ ​that​ ​password​ ​into​ ​the​ ​Remote​ ​Desktop
Connection​ ​prompt.​ ​You​ ​might​ ​receive​ ​a​ ​notice​ ​that​ ​the​ ​identity​ ​of​ ​the​ ​remote​ ​computer​ ​can’t​ ​be
verified.​ ​In​ ​this​ ​case,​ ​click​ ​“Yes”​ ​to​ ​continue​ ​connecting.

Option​ ​2:​ ​Create​ ​a​ ​remote​ ​desktop​ ​connection​ ​manually

Locate​ ​the​ ​“Remote​ ​Desktop​ ​Connection”​ ​application​ ​on​ ​your​ ​Windows​ ​computer.​ ​In​ ​Windows
10,​ ​it​ ​will​ ​be​ ​available​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Start​ ​Menu​ ​under​ ​“Windows​ ​Accessories.”​ ​You​ ​can​ ​also​ ​just​ ​open
the​ ​Start​ ​Menu​ ​and​ ​start​ ​typing​ ​“Remote​ ​Desktop,”​ ​then​ ​select​ ​“Remote​ ​Desktop​ ​Connection.”
After​ ​opening​ ​the​ ​Remote​ ​Desktop​ ​Application,​ ​switch​ ​back​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Google​ ​Cloud​ ​Console
window.​ ​Type​ ​in​ ​the​ ​external​ ​IP​ ​that​ ​correlates​ ​to​ ​your​ ​Windows​ ​instance​ ​into​ ​the​ ​Remote
Desktop​ ​Connection​ ​app,​ ​under​ ​the​ ​“Computer”​ ​field.​ ​Head’s​ ​up​:​ ​Your​ ​IP​ ​will​ ​be​ ​different​ ​than
the​ ​example​ ​shown​ ​below.

Once​ ​you’ve​ ​entered​ ​the​ ​full​ ​IP​ ​address,​ ​click​ ​the​ ​“Connect”​ ​button.​ ​It​ ​will​ ​then​ ​prompt​ ​you​ ​for
the​ ​username​ ​and​ ​password​ ​for​ ​windows-instance​.​ ​To​ ​retrieve​ ​the​ ​username​ ​and​ ​password,
switch​ ​back​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Google​ ​Cloud​ ​Console,​ ​and​ ​select​ ​“Set​ ​Windows​ ​Password.”

Copy​ ​the​ ​username​ ​provided​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Remote​ ​Desktop​ ​Connection,​ ​then​ ​switch​ ​back​ ​to​ ​Google
Cloud​ ​Console,​ ​and​ ​click​ ​on​ ​“Set.”​ ​A​ ​new​ ​popup​ ​will​ ​appear​ ​with​ ​your​ ​Windows​ ​password.​ ​You
can​ ​then​ ​copy​ ​this​ ​Windows​ ​password​ ​into​ ​the​ ​Remote​ ​Desktop​ ​Connection​ ​app​ ​field​ ​for
password,​ ​then​ ​hit​ ​“OK”​ ​to​ ​continue.
You​ ​might​ ​receive​ ​a​ ​notice​ ​that​ ​the​ ​identity​ ​of​ ​the​ ​remote​ ​computer​ ​cannot​ ​be​ ​verified.​ ​In​ ​this
case,​ ​click​ ​“Yes”​ ​to​ ​continue​ ​connecting.​ ​And​ ​voila!​ ​You’re​ ​good​ ​to​ ​go.
