Hi, I'm working on a project to provide access to Windows desktops hosted on Amazon AWS. We spin up a number of Windows EC2 instances (Windows 2012 R2 servers) and then connect to them with Guacamole.
Upon the first connection to a machine, it has the Amazon auto-generated hostname, such as "win-oekuqjop15l.us-west-2.compute.internal". Our process requires the hostname to be changed and the machine rebooted, so we may issue the following commands in a Powershell window: Rename-Computer glarkin Restart-Computer After the machine restarts, Guacamole is unable to connect to the machine. The dialog box reads "The remote desktop server is currently unreachable." The machine is still up and running, and I can connect to it with a desktop RDP client from my laptop, so I think there is a problem with Guacamole somewhere. I have tweaked the connection settings to change the security mode to "Any" and to disable the authentication and ignore the server certificate to see if that would change the behavior. However, it doesn't seem to change anything as I still cannot log in to the server through Guacamole. I wonder if anyone has suggestions for me. Does Guacamole have a hard requirement that the machine cannot be renamed after initially connecting to it? I would appreciate any suggestions!
