Overview
Nen supports connecting to existing Windows installations via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). This lets you use your own infrastructure — on-premises machines, cloud VMs, or corporate desktops — while getting the same computer tools API as cloud desktops.Once connected, the tools API (
GET /tools and POST /tools/execute) works identically to cloud desktops. Your agent code doesn’t need to know which type of desktop it’s controlling.When to Use Remote Desktops
| Cloud Desktops | Remote Desktops | |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop | Nen provisions it for you | You provide your own machine |
| State | Ephemeral — clean each time | Persistent — apps stay installed |
| Best for | Prototyping, burst workloads | Production, pre-configured environments |
- Your applications are already installed and licensed on existing machines
- You need to automate on-premises or corporate Windows environments
- Desktop state must persist between workflow runs
Supported Configurations
- Windows 10/11 Pro, Enterprise, or Server (Home edition does not support RDP)
- Azure VMs, AWS EC2, or any cloud-hosted Windows instance
- On-premises Windows machines with network access
