Windows Remote Desktop

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise comes with the standard Windows remote desktop tool.

To activate Remote Access on a Trizeps8Mini running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise follow these steps:

Activate remote access in the control panel: Control panel → System and Security → System → Allow remote access → ('System Properties' window pops up) → Remote tab

Select 'Allow remote connections to this computer' > Uncheck 'Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentification → Apply and OK

Launch 'gpedit' (Launch Group Policy Editor) → Computer Configuration → Windows Settings → Security Settings → Local Policies → Security Options

Disable the „Account: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only“ policy

run „ipconfig /all“ to display your systems Host Name (e.g. „WINSECO-S0M3C0D3“) and connect to that using the remote desktop tool on your Windows 10 system
