hey there and thank you for your information – I have definitely picked up something new from right here. I did however expertise a few technical points using this web site, since I experienced to reload the site lots of times previous to I could get it to load properly. I had been wondering if your hosting is OK? Not that I’m complaining, but slow loading instances times will often affect your placement in google and could damage your high-quality score if advertising and marketing with Adwords. Well I’m adding this RSS to my email and can look out for much more of your respective fascinating content. Make sure you update this again soon..

Narendra,

Check your RDP configuration on the Windows side and make sure the username you are using from the Linux side is enabled for RDP access.

Thanks. Worked like a charm

On CentOS, you need to run
% yum install rdesktop

with sufficient privileges of course.
