Bot Admin RDP

Admin RDP is a kind of remote desktop service that allows the customer to use all the resources of the server, and the developer to have multiple accounts registered on the same machine. The only disadvantage of this type of remote desktop service is that it limits the flexibility of the server. However, Admin RDP gives the customer complete control over the installation and removal of the bots and other programs, as well as the configuration of the server.

There are many prerequisites that need to be met before an RDP-based bot deployment can take place. First, the bot runner machine must have an RDP connection enabled. Also, it must be set to allow remote connections, and the user must choose the checkbox “Allow remote connections” when configuring it. Additionally, the machine should be hosted on an Azure, VMware, or Oracle Virtual Box server and the user must be restricted to a single Remote Desktop Services session.

If there are multiple attempts to connect to a machine, the automated bot is likely looking for open bot admin rdp ports. The port 3389 is a popular port, so all the connections to the machine are likely coming from this port. This method, known as Brute Force, consists of trying as many username and password combinations as possible. The login names that appear in the audit failure records are not legitimate requests. The administrator should disable the RDP services on the bot runner machine by disabling group policies on that machine.

Bot Admin RDP Deployment

RDP-based bot deployment requires a few prerequisites. The RDP connection must be enabled on the Bot Runner machine and the machine must allow remote connections. The user must also enable the option to only allow remote connections on the machine. The Bot Runner machine must be hosted on VMware, Azure, or Oracle Virtual Box. The bot admin should also configure the machine to only allow a single Remote Desktop Services session. This is to prevent the bot runner from accessing the server without the proper privileges.

In order to deploy the bot in RDP-based mode, a machine needs to be configured with the appropriate software. It must be configured to allow remote connections and the IP address must match the Bot Runner machine’s name. Once the machine is setup with the RDP server, it must be enabled in the Control Room. Once it is installed, it must have an administrator’s permission. The administrator must also be able to run the software.

There are several prerequisites for an RDP-based bot deployment. A Bot Runner machine must have an RDP connection. The user must select “Allow connections only” in the “allow connections” checkbox. Likewise, the Bot Runner machine must be hosted by Azure, VMware, or Oracle Virtual Box. Furthermore, the administrator must enable the bot runner to be restricted to a single Remote Desktop Services session.
