Viewing the Windows Vista® desktop
Because the RGS Sender is not currently supported on Windows Vista®, you can use the following
methods to view the Windows Vista® desktop. The first two methods provide remote viewing of the
Windows desktop, while the third method provides local viewing.
• Operate the workstation blade with Remote Console Mode set to Admin Mode—In Admin Mode, the
Windows desktop is generated by the ATI video controller, which can be viewed remotely using the
iLO 2 Remote Console.
• Microsoft® Remote Desktop Connection—Microsoft® Remote Desktop Connection can be used to
remotely view the Windows Vista® desktop.
• Use expansion blade graphics—This method assumes that your workstation blade has an HP
Graphics Expansion Blade attached, and that you have an NVIDIA PCI Express graphics adapter
installed in the expansion blade. In this case, you can view the Windows Vista® desktop by
connecting a monitor to the DVI connector on the graphics adapter. Remote Console Mode should
be set to User Mode to ensure the Windows desktop is generated by the NVIDIA graphics adapter.
