Trying to RDP into my Windows 10 PC, which is hosting a couple of VMs.
The VMs are shown in AD, but RDP cannot connect.
Any advice, much appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: RDP connecto to VMs
Are you using the host PC's RDP connection? Or are you trying to connect into the guest OS's? If you're using AD (Active Directory, yes?) and you want to have the guest OS's as members of the domain, you need to make sure the domain allows RDP into its guests. Your guests also need to be reachable through the host's network. See section 6 in the manual about what kind of Virtualbox networking to use (hint, try Bridged)
If you are using Virtualbox's RDP server, then you must use the host PC's IP address, and the port number selected in the guest's Virtualbox settings in the main Virtualbox window. Keep in mind that port 3389 is used for the Windows RDP on the host too, so you'd have to change the port number in the guest settings to allow the guest to receive the RDP connection.
