RDP Status and Power On/Off Graph

Introduction

RDP Status and the Power On/Off Graph are monitoring and visualization features that give administrators real-time and historical visibility into a device's remote-access availability and power state. Together, they help answer two practical questions: Is this device remotely accessible right now? and When has it been powered on or off over time?

These features are typically found in the device detail view or a monitoring dashboard, and they support troubleshooting, compliance auditing, and energy/usage analysis.

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is used to access another computer remotely, usually a Windows computer. Each device shows its current RDP status and a power on/off graph.

Check or change the RDP status of a device

1. Open the device you want to check.
2. The current RDP status is shown on the right side of the screen (for example Enabled).
3. To disable RDP, select Disable, then select OK. The status changes to Disabled.
4. To enable RDP again, select Enable, then select OK. The status changes to Enabled. Select Cancel to keep the current status.

Changing RDP status requires the DeviceRdpStatusUpdate permission; remote access requires RdpAccess. Use the RDP Status filter in the device list to find devices with RDP enabled or disabled.
