Install xRDP and Remote RDP into CentOS 7

This video is to show the steps how to install xRDP and TigerVNC server, and how to get remote RDP working on CentOS7. There is one small step which usually missed from most of online tutorials. Without that component, your RDP windows will disappear once you put your username and password in. It will be very slow though. If you want to be faster, install Xfce instead of Gnome.
Check commands in my post: https://blog.51sec.org/2020/03/connect-to-gnome-desktop-environment.html

Steps and commands:
1. rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
2. yum update && yum -y install xrdp tigervnc-server
3. systemctl enable xrdp && systemctl restart xrdp

The most missed command is :
yum groups -y install “GNOME Desktop”

To Add a new user:
adduser netsec
passwd netsec

Troubleshooting command:
netstat -an | grep 3389
