tip

Here is how to connect you your server via RDP: instructions

audio output

Currently is audio output via RDP not supported!
Because of that VLC will constantly show errors when you open a movie in a Remotedesktop session. You can disable those error messages by opening the VLC preferences (press [CTRL] + [P] in VLC), click on the Audio tab and disable the option Enable Audio. After restarting VLC, the issue should be gone.

pdf files

You can use OnlyOffice in the Remotedesktop session to view PDF files. So just select OnlyOffice to open PDF files if it should mistakenly report that no program is installed to open PDF files!
