RDP Connection Timeout
We used the instructions on Accessing Windows build worker via Remote Desktop to enable RDP access to a Visual Studio 2019 build worker VM.
However when we attempt to connect to the IP address displayed in the build output, the connection times out and we never get a credential prompt. We are unable to ping the host or reach its 3389 port:
❯ Test-NetConnection -ComputerName 67.225.165.215 -Port 3389
WARNING: TCP connect to (67.225.165.215 : 3389) failed
WARNING: Ping to 67.225.165.215 failed with status: TimedOut
This happens with every build worker VM, all using different IP addresses.

3389 won't work. There is a redirection to 3389. Use port displayed by a script.

The only port displayed in the output is port

We just realized we're using
$nonat = $truebefore enabling RDP. Looks like we needed to use that previously but it isn't working now. I've removed it and now we do get a unique port number that we can successfully connect to.I can't find any docs on
$nonat. Can you share details on what that variable does and when it should be used?Support Staff 4 Posted by Feodor Fitsner on 08 Sep, 2023 07:10 PM
