Installing the client

Only install one of the following as instructed in your lab!

  2. Enable remote desktop connections

Connect to your pfSense/OPNSense machine and finish configuring pfSense/OPNSense. See InstallFirewall

  1. Use your key given in eClass and activate your installation for windows.
  2. Install updates! You can't use remote desktop until updates are installed.
  3. Find and install the remote administration tools. (Hint: you can do this through powershell easier than through the GUI)
