Adding a Remote PC

Desktops and applications can also be published from a remote PC running a supported version of Windows. A remote PC can be a physical box or a virtual machine treated as a standalone computer, but typically they are physical computers. If you have virtual machines on your network, it makes sense to use them as part of the VDI infrastructure as described in the VDI Hosts chapter . However, if you don't need virtual guest cloning or if your end users require full administrative permissions for customization, you can use a virtual machine as a remote PC. It's up to you.

Follow the below procedure to add a remote PC to the farm:

1. In the RAS Console, select the Farm category and click the Remote PCs node in the navigational tree.
2. Click Add in the Tasks drop-down menu to launch the setup wizard.
3. Specify the IP address or FQDN of a remote PC. Click the Get MAC button to obtain the PC's MAC address.
4. Click Next .
5. In this step, the Parallels Remote Application Server checks if the RAS PC Agent is installed on the specified PC. If it's not installed, click Install to push install the agent on the PC. If the push installation of RAS PC Agent fails (e.g. an SMB share is not available or the firewall rules don't allow to perform it), please read the Installing RAS PC Agent Manually section that follows this one.
6. Click Add to add the Remote PC to the Parallels Remote Application Server server farm.
