    Folks,

    Now that I am now able to connect from RemoteBox to VBoxWebSrv on Windows 10, I can see my local VMs listed in the RemoteBox UI. Great!

    None of my VMs have an RDP server installed or running though, so I can't open the Guest Display yet.

    I have now installed an RDP server on one of my CentOS 6 VMs (as in http://ajmatson.net/wordpress/2014/01/install-xrdp-remote-desktop-to-centos-6-5/). I'm able to open a remote desktop using Windows' Remote Desktop, but RemoteBox still is not able to open a Guest Display. The error I get is:

    Remote Display Disabled: The remote display server for this guest is not running.

    I respectfully dispute that, as like I said, I can access it using Windows' Remote Desktop.

    I have not changed the "RDP Client" setting in RemoteBox Preferences, it is still the default:

    mstsc /w:%X /h:%Y /v:%h:%p >nul

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Five minutes after posting this, I figured out that I had not enabled the RDP on the VM's settings. I've tried twice already to post this response, but both times it failed. I apologize if this is a dup.
