How To Create Two Factor Authentication for Remote Desktop

Hello Bill sorry for the late reply.

You said that you were recently infected with a ransomware virus & that it probably came through your open remote desktop, so yes it's a good idea to change remote software, & skip windows RDP & jump desktop*Smile

Change the software from Windows RDP & Jump Desktop to Teamviewer.
Install teamviewer on all computers.
Set up unattended access on the computers you wish to connect to.
( You can do this in the installation process or when teamviewer is installed @ Settings > Security )




And make a teamviewer account ( if you haven't already done so *Smile )
This will make it so that you can connect to them through a list ( Once your signed in )
which is very convenient.



Also don't forget to add the two step authentication.

Let me know how it went

How To Create Two Factor Authentication for Remote Desktop

xTL -

I will trying using Team Viewer for my 2 step authentication but I have a couple of questions so I understand what I need to do.

Currently I am using Windows Remote Desktop which is turned ON for my three Windows PC's. I also use a program Jump Desktop that is installed on my MacBook Pro to login to each PC.

When I use Team Viewer do I install that on each PC and my Mackbook Pro then use the Team Viewer 2 step authentication? Do I no longer use Windows RDP or the Jump Desktop software that is installed on MacBook Pro?

Thanks very much for you help - I really appreciate it! Bill

 

Remote desktop in window 10 cannot access computer having windows 8

No, it's the other way round all editions include the Remote Desktop Client and can connect to any PC with the Remote Desktop Server enabled. Only Pro and above allow you to connect to them.

maideen5's region is Malaysia, English may not be their first language. As I understand it the OP's problem can be stated as:

• The Windows 10 PC can connect to the remote desktop of a PC running Windows Server 2012, but cannot connect to a Windows 8.1 PC.
• A Windows 7 PC can connect to both, so the Windows 8.1 PC is known to allow incoming connections.

I don't have an 8.1 Pro machine, so I can't test this for myself. @Kari wrote the tutorial on this, perhaps he has a suggestion.
