If you, like me, were working from home during lockdown, you may have needed to access works remote access in I.E. or Edge. When you do this there is usually a small download of an .rdp file. At the time I was using a VM of Windows 8.1 Pro and had got to install Office 365 to comply with IT security demands ( ).
Having downloaded the .rdp file, I copied this to a mounted USB stick.
I then ran Remmina and told it that I needed remote access to Windows network - all I had to do was point to the .rdp file which I had copied to my Desktop in Devuan and hey presto - I only ever needed 1 login, User name, Domain name, password. Under the Windows route I needed 3 separate times to enter my username and password! Just shows how superior GNU/Linux is to Windows in every sense of the word - I even took screenshots and shared with IT but never got a response! Wonder why?
