This page shows how to install a Windows RDP server on CentOS 6 x64 so you can connect to it from a Windows desktop using mstsc.exe

You must have a CentOS machine already set up in accordance with the the “Install CentOS 6” guide.

To use Windows Remote Desktop with CentOS 6, run the following. It helps to have already installed VNC (but no need to configure it)

First install the EPEL Repository

wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

Then install xrdp

yum install xrdp -y
chkconfig --levels 5 xrdp on
service xrdp start

Run the following to get the firewall open

iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 3389 -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
service iptables restart
