Create links to RDP servers in Excel

Question

I'm in the process of putting together an excel spreadsheet that contains a list of windows servers. I would like to create a link which is a shortcut to connect to each server via RDP. Unfortunately, remote desktop URIs are not supported in Windows. I'm looking for another way of creating the link.

Even though I'm creating this list in Excel, I'm not stuck on using that -- I'd like to publish to OneNote, eventually.

Answer 1

You should be able to save an rdp file for each connection and then attach that file in the excel file.

• Select the cell into which you want to insert your file
• Click on the “Insert” tab
• Click on “Object” under the “Text” group
• Select “Create from File”
• Browse your file
• Click on “OK”
