Babatunde So you used that script to install everything on some server somewhere.
Then you logged in using your web browser and the login ID guacadmin & the password for guacadmin Then in the upper right under the user name guacadmin you clicked on SETTINGS. In the settings screen you first clicked on CONNECTIONS then 1. you changed the connection type from the default VNC to RDP 2. created a NEW connection using the IP address of your target machine you want to connect with RDP to. 3. you specified your RDP security type 4. etc etc 5. then you clicked on SAVE next in the Settings screen you clicked on USERS then 1. you clicked on New User 2. you input your UserID & password twice (note that those do NOT have to be the same as the UserID and Password on your remote "target" machine you want to connect to. These are just the ID & Password you use to log into Guacamole with. 3. you then select whatever other options you need 4. You DID NOT forget to also select the "Connection" you want that UserID to have access to? The available connections (which YOU configured above) will be listed there. You need to select 1 or more. 5. Then you SAVED that Guacamole User account info. Then you logged out of the Guacadmin account Then you logged back into Guacamole using your new Guacamole UserID & Password. Then you clicked on the Connection you want to connect to using RDP ? The Machine you want to Connect to is a Windows machine properly setup to allow RDP connections by a User Account that had previously been installed on that target Windows machine ? If you did not do this step then you won't be able to connect to the Windows machine. However, before you try with Guacamole... make sure you can access that "target" Windows machine using another Windows PC first. If that doesn't work then Guacamole won't work for you either and you will have to figure out what needs to be configured to setup the target Windows machine for RDP connections.
