Hi All,
Is it possble to use the Mirosoft Remote Desk Connection( command:mstsc) to remote IOT Core Device ?

Anybody had any success with this ?

Remote desktop is not possible (at this time anyway) on Windows 10 Core IoT

No, there is no desktop to remote to.

I suppose it is the subtle distinction between a screen (which IoT does have) and the concept of multiple screens only one of which is front (which IoT does NOT have). It can switch to another screen of course but they don't exists until that app runs.

You can always capture your own screen (if you construct it so that you can anyway) but there is no methodology to 'see' anyone else's screen as it isn't there.

Thanks all!

It looks that PowerShell is only way for this...

Or write your own REST server and supply the data or screen image as required from the Pi.

I see people saying you can't use Microsoft RDC to remote desktop into Pi/Raspbian. I use a quite old version of Microsoft RDC to connect to my Pi all the time, I don't get sound but not an issue for me. It connects to an xrdp server on the Pi.

I just can't remember how I set it up!

There is the Windows IoT Remote Client that allows you to see/use the Pi "desktop" via your Windows PC (over ethernet link). Works well with the last stable build 15063 - but no joy with the latest Insider Program builds (MS broke it).
