Logging In to a Windows ECS Using VNC

This section describes how to use VNC provided on the management console to log in to an ECS.

If you cannot use the MSTSC or other remote login tools to log in to an ECS, you can use the VNC login mode. This login mode is mainly used in emergency O&M scenarios for you to view and perform maintenance operations.

If an ECS uses key pair authentication, make sure that the key file has been used to resolve the login password before logging in to the ECS. For details, see Obtaining the Password for Logging In to a Windows ECS.

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and project.
3. Under Computing, click Elastic Cloud Server.
4. Obtain the password for logging in to the ECS.

   Before logging in to the ECS, you must have the login password.

   • If your ECS uses password authentication, log in to the ECS using the password you configured during the ECS creation.
   • If your ECS uses key pair authentication, obtain the password by following the instructions provided in Obtaining the Password for Logging In to a Windows ECS.

5. In the Operation column of the target ECS, click Remote Login.
6. (Optional) When the system displays "Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to unlock", click Ctrl+Alt+Del in the upper part of the remote login page to log in to the ECS.
