In some cases you forgot the credential to login to your EC2 Windows instances but still you want to login to your machine and do something. Since you don,t have windows credential you can not do RDP to your machine. Nevertheless there is a way you perform some operations in your EC2 instance. In this post, we will talk about this approach.
Prerequisite -You need to have access to AWS console and IAM User credential.
Login to AWS Console using IAM Credential.
Select EC2 instance from EC2 instance list.
Click on "Connect" button from the menu in the page header.
It will show options to connect to EC2 instances , they are Session Manager, RDP and EC2 Serial Console.
Click on Session Manager. This will open a session where you execute command like DIR, CD etc. This is not RDP like access but few things can be done here like run Tomcat, create directories or file etc.
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you face any issue or have any question on this article.
