How to allow RDP connections
If someone have performance problems opening a Windows Virtual Machine using Spice, one possible solution is to use a RDP connection instead of Spice.
Steps to open RDP
Open the clon or the machine before convert it in a base.
Allow RDP connections: remote desktop allow access.
Configure exposed port
Once the port is opened it’s time to configure the exposed port from the Virtual Machine, to do this follow the steps in configure-expose.
In this case, the Port field must be set with the RDP number:
Port: 3389
Yo do not need to configure the port in each Virtual Machine clone. Setting the exposed port in the base replicates this configuration to all the clones. This works even after the clones have been created.
Open the Virtual Machine with a RDP client
Open your remote desktop client and configure the new connection. Pay attention to the port number, it is redirected to another port number. You can see the open ports when start the Virtual Machine in Open ports section:
