Allow remote desktop to an Active Directory PC from a different subnet

RouterOS General
1

Hello,

I have a small network setup in my house where I live and there’s also my company’s office 2 floors below.

I have MikroTik RB4011 as the main gateway down in the server room. This router has 3 subnets: office (192.168.100.0/24) home (192.168.150.0/24), guest (192.168.200.0/24).

In the “office” subnet, there’s a domain controller (Windows Server 2019) and around 5 client computers (all domain joined), one of them being my work laptop.
In the “home” subnet, there is my home PC (among other things).
The “guest” subnet is basically just a Wi-Fi.

I want to be able to connect via RDP from my home PC to my work laptop, so I don’t have to go downstairs every time I want to check some business stuff. How can I configure this in MikroTik and Windows Server? I want to have these networks completely separate, I only want to be able to connect to 1 specific laptop from 1 specific PC.

I’m aware that this is a MikroTik forum and not a Windows Server forum, but I hope that someone will be able to help me anyways :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot!

hello tomas,

for basic remote desktop 1 to 1 connection, maybe you might read this article :

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-allow-access

or, if you want other simple rdp software :

and many others.

i think there are no problem with MT intervlan routing with rdp - just need to adjust few firewall rules if you have any.

hope this helps.
