RDP Alias

Compliments of my good buddy Coobachey

From a Linux terminal, I run Ubuntu, type rdp machinename and this will automatically log me in to a Windows box. This is a big time saver. Just remember to not use this on a public machine and to update the alias file when your password changes.

Edit /home/username/.bashrc

Add this line

alias rdp='rdesktop -g 1280x1024 -u domain\\username -p password'

-g = screen resolution
-u = username
-p = password

source ~/.bashrc in a command line to reload the .bashrc and activate the alias'

Another tidbit from Coob, always remember to install vim on your local machine for easy editing of files in terminal.
