When you want unattended access
Unattended access is for machines nobody is sitting at — a server, a signage PC, a lab box. Instead of a one-time code, the target keeps a fixed password that you set.
Turn it on at the target
On the machine you want to reach, open RustDesk, set a permanent password in the security settings, and note the device ID.
Install RustDesk as a service so it starts at boot and answers before anyone logs in.
Lock it down
Give each machine a long, unique password and rotate it when staff move on. Pair unattended access with your in-house relay so the connection stays on the local network.
