= Accessing a Windows node using RDP
You can access a Windows node by using a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
.Prerequisites
* You installed the Windows Machine Config Operator (WMCO) using Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM).
* You have created a Windows compute machine set.
* You have added the key used in the `cloud-private-key` secret and the key used when creating the cluster to the ssh-agent. For security reasons, remember to remove the keys from the ssh-agent after use.
* You have connected to the Windows node link:https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4073041[using an `ssh-bastion` pod].
.Procedure
. Run the following command to set up an SSH tunnel:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ ssh -L 2020:<windows_node_internal_ip>:3389 \ <1>
core@$(oc get service --all-namespaces -l run=ssh-bastion -o go-template="{{ with (index (index .items 0).status.loadBalancer.ingress 0) }}{{ or .hostname .ip }}{{end}}")
----
<1> Specify the internal IP address of the node, which can be discovered by running the following command:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc get nodes <node_name> -o jsonpath={.status.addresses[?\(@.type==\"InternalIP\"\)].address}
----
. From within the resulting shell, SSH into the Windows node and run the following command to create a password for the user:
+
[source,terminal]
----
C:\> net user <username> * <1>
----
<1> Specify the cloud provider user name, such as `Administrator` for AWS or `capi` for Azure.
You can now remotely access the Windows node at `localhost:2020` using an RDP client.
