If you have a home or small office network with computers in several locations, you may want to work on them all from one machine. Today we take a look at the Remote Desktop feature in Windows that allows you to connect to each computer on the network in XP, Vista, and Windows 7.

如果您的家庭或小型办公室网络在多个位置都装有计算机，则可能需要在一台计算机上全部使用它们。 今天，我们来看看Windows中的远程桌面功能，该功能使您可以连接到XP，Vista和Windows 7中网络上的每台计算机。

Note: Remote Desktop is not a client and host feature available in Home version of Windows.

注意：远程桌面不是Windows Home Edition中可用的客户端和主机功能。

Enable Remote Desktop in Vista and Windows 7

在Vista和Windows 7中启用远程桌面

The first thing we need to do is enable Remote Desktop on a Windows 7 or Vista machine. Right-click on the Computer icon on the desktop or from the Start menu and select Properties.

我们需要做的第一件事是在Windows 7或Vista计算机上启用远程桌面。 右键单击桌面上的“计算机”图标，或从“开始”菜单中选择“属性”。

Now click on the Advanced system settings link.

现在，单击“ 高级系统设置”链接。

Click on the Remote tab and under Remote Desktop select the bottom radio button… Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (more secure).

单击“远程”选项卡，然后在“远程桌面”下选择底部的单选按钮... 仅允许运行带有网络级别身份验证的远程桌面的计算机进行连接(更安全)。

You can also select what which users on the network will have Remote Desktop access.

您还可以选择网络上哪些用户将具有远程桌面访问权限。

Enable Remote Desktop in XP

在XP中启用远程桌面

Enabling XP in Remote Desktop is basically the same. Right-click on My Computer and select Properties, click the Remote tab and under the Remote Desktop section, click the box next to Allow users to connect remotely to this computer.

在远程桌面中启用XP基本相同。 右键单击“我的电脑”，然后选择“属性”，单击“远程”选项卡，然后在“远程桌面”部分下，单击“ 允许用户远程连接到此计算机 ”旁边的框。

Using Remote Desktop

使用远程桌面

Now when a co-worker or member of your family needs help, or you want to work on computers in other locations and don’t want to site at each machine, you can remote into them. Pull up Remote Desktop and enter in the name or IP address of the other computer.

现在，当您的同事或家庭成员需要帮助时，或者您想在其他位置的计算机上工作并且不想在每台计算机上都定位时，可以远程访问它们。 拉起远程桌面，然后输入另一台计算机的名称或IP地址。

The first time you try to remote in (where in this example I’m remoting into a home server), you may get a security screen which you’ll want to allow and can select to not show again.

第一次尝试远程进入时(在本例中，我将其远程移动到家庭服务器中) ，您可能会得到一个想要允许的安全屏幕，并且可以选择不再显示。

When you log in you will need to type in the name and password before connecting.

登录时，需要在连接之前输入名称和密码。

Now you can work on the Windows Home Server from a desktop computer in the living room.

现在，您可以从客厅中的台式计算机在Windows Home Server上工作。

Logging into a Vista machine is the same process…enter the user name and password for that machine.

登录Vista机器的过程相同，请输入该机器的用户名和密码。

And then you can can start working on the Vista machine.

然后，您可以开始在Vista机器上工作。

Here we’re remoting from a Windows 7 machine into an XP computer on the home network, and another security message is displayed. It’s a bit different than when remoting into a server, but again you can choose not to have it pop up every time you connect.

在这里，我们正在从Windows 7计算机迁移到家庭网络中的XP计算机，并显示另一条安全消息。 与远程服务器相比，这有点不同，但是您可以再次选择不让它在每次连接时弹出。

Options

选件

When remoting into a machine, there are different options you can select before starting the session that will change the Remote Desktop experience. You’ll need to experiment with these settings to find what works best for you. If you’re looking to make the process faster, especially on older hardware, turn down the display size and color of the remote connection. It might not be as pretty, but you can get work done more quickly.

远程处理到计算机时，可以在开始会话之前选择不同的选项，这将改变远程桌面的体验。 您需要尝试这些设置，才能找到最适合您的设置。 如果您希望加快该过程，尤其是在较旧的硬件上，请降低远程连接的显示大小和颜色。 它可能不那么漂亮，但是您可以更快地完成工作。

While you’re logged into the other computer, the user will be locked out while your in it…

当您登录另一台计算机时，用户将被锁定在另一台计算机中……

So make sure the person sitting at the machine your working on doesn’t try to log in during your session because they will log you out.

因此，请确保坐在您正在使用计算机的人在您的会话期间不要尝试登录，因为他们会注销您。

Conclusion

结论

Unfortunately Remote Desktop is not a client and host feature in Home editions of XP, Vista, or Windows 7. You can use Remote Desktop to initiate a connection From any edition of Windows. However, you can’t use it to connect to computers running Starter or Home versions. There are several free utilities and services you can use to get the same results, and we will take a look at some of them in the near future. IT guys already know about the great benefits of Remote Desktop, but if your starting out with a small network, this should help you get started in using it. If you do have Professional, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate editions of Vista or Windows 7 or XP Pro installed on the machines on your network, using Remote Desktop is a great way to work on them from a central machine.

不幸的是，远程桌面不是XP，Vista或Windows 7家庭版的客户端和主机功能。您可以使用远程桌面从任何版本的Windows发起连接。 但是，您不能使用它来连接运行Starter或Home版本的计算机。 您可以使用几种免费的实用程序和服务来获得相同的结果，我们将在不久的将来介绍其中的一些实用程序和服务。 IT人士已经知道远程桌面的巨大好处，但是如果您从一个小型网络开始，这应该可以帮助您开始使用它。 如果确实在网络上的计算机上安装了Vista，Windows 7或XP Pro的Professional，Business，Enterprise或Ultimate版本，则使用Remote Desktop是从中央计算机上对其进行操作的一种好方法。
