Description

The use of remote desktop client is inconsistent across all of the Windows builders in the infrastructure.

  • If possible, ensure all versions of the Windows builders have RDP enabled.
  • Add RDP capability to the GRPC gomote command. This should be enabled by tunneling RDP through SSH. The coordinator SSH server should be modified to enable tunneling.

Contributor guide
