Testing for RDP service on Windows Systems 🔗 link

Hello -

Does anyone know how to test for the RDP service on a windows system that is
not running the BBWin (Or Big Brother) client on it?  I've been looking
through the hobbit docs (and it is possible i missed it).  In googleing for
the info I found several hobbit configs out there with an RDP keyword in the
bb-hosts file however it doesnt work with my setup (i think I am missing
something somewhere..)..    I am running 4.2 with the all-in-one and bbwin
central config patches.

Thanks!

I'm sure you'll get many responses, but we added the following to bb-services: 
[rdp]    port 3389 
Once you've added this, if you include the tag "rdp" in bb-hosts, it will test to see if the RDP listener is active on the host in question.  I'm interested if there are better clientless tests myself. 
Good luck, TM

Bob,

You will need to configure RDP as one of your network tests.  This is done in the BB-SERVICES file.  You'll need to add a description for RDP and configure for port 3389.

Heh - I didn't even think about that when I switched from BB to Hobbit.  I
just carried over the "telnet:1494" tag for a couple of our hosts and found
it worked quite well.  I *think* there's a Citrix server on that port, given
that it returns "ICA" along with a few binary characters.

I guess I should do that check properly...  :)

Thanks!

The test is up and running now...

Note that checknly for checking to see if it will establish a TCP connection.

On many occasions I have had the test green while being unable to use
RDP until the box was rebooted.
