rdesktop -u Administrator -p passwd123 192.168.1.111:3389


Connect to a remote computer with full screen (press <Ctrl Alt Enter> to exist):
rdesktop -u {{username}} -p {{password}} -f {{host:port}}


Use a custom resolution (use the letter x between the numbers):
rdesktop -u {{username}} -p {{password}} -g {{1366}}x{{768}} {{host:port}}


Connect to a remote computer using domain user:
