LKBEN10619: Howto connect with RDP via command line and mstsc on a non standard port
Symptom
You cannot connect because the default port has been changed for security reasons
Cause
Works as designed
Solution
RDP stands for remote desktop protocoll. You connect from the command line with the following command:
mstsc /v:lubbyserver:<your-new-port>
The default port is 3389. You can check this with the following:
mstsc /v:lubbyserver:3389
With the parameter /f the client will start in full screen mode. You can open a command line console with /console
mstsc /v:lubbyserver:2220 /console
You should have altered the port on 2220 before!
