Try to connect from another one, or ask you co-workers of friends to connect.</p></div>Ilya Finkelshteyntag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/418160782018-07-26T13:26:58Z2018-07-26T13:26:58ZCan't RDP to build agent<div><p>Sure thing, Ilya.

After build VM is destroyed and RDP IP, port and password do not make sense anymore.</p></div>Ilya Finkelshteyntag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/418160782018-07-26T19:26:12Z2018-07-26T19:26:12ZCan't RDP to build agent<div><p>Yes, I had put the rdp script at the beginning of the build with that in<br>
mind.</p>
<p>And it turns out it worked from a windows host \o/</p></div>Everton Fragatag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/418160782018-07-31T18:01:27Z2018-07-31T18:01:29ZCan't RDP to build agent<div><p>Hi again, the proposed solution has been working throughout these days, but I hit another road bump: I can only access RD with auto-generated password, not with any password defined on settings.</p>
<p>The reason I want to do is quite obvious: I don't want to expose my env variables in a public build that shows-off its RD password.</p>
<p>The log starts to show only IP+port and username (that's correct), but the password I entered on the settings panel doesn't seem to work for me. Is there anything I can do?</p></div>Evertontag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/418160782018-07-31T18:24:16Z2018-07-31T18:24:17ZCan't RDP to build agent<div><p>I managed to log in by declaring my password as secret env variable. yay :)</p></div>Evertontag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/418160782018-07-31T20:40:14Z2018-07-31T20:40:14ZCan't RDP to build agent<div><p>This issue (login problems with password declared in <code>APPVEYOR_RDP_PASSWORD</code> environment variable still can happen intermittently.
