Transferring files to the Cyber Recovery vault jump host

Use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to copy a browser executable file and other files onto the Cyber Recovery vault jump host.

Prerequisites

  • The Cyber Recovery solution is successfully installed on the Microsoft Azure cloud.
  • Copy and paste options over RDP are enabled.
  • A stand-alone or offline browser installer executable, or other files are downloaded to your local workstation.
    NOTE:If you are installing a browser, do not download the default installer. During installation, most web browsers access the latest packages over the Internet. You cannot perform this action from the jump host.
  • The Azure CLI is installed.

About this task

The jump host, which the ARM template installs on Microsoft Azure cloud as part of the Cyber Recovery deployment, comes with the Internet Explorer browser installed. The Cyber Recovery solution does not support the Internet Explorer browser. Optionally, you can manually install a different browser, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox, for the Cyber Recovery deployment on Azure.

The jump host that is used in an Azure deployment is a CIS-hardened Windows host. By default, this hardened host does not allow file transfers using RDP; it only allows text transfers. In the following procedure, steps 1 through 5 remove this restriction by editing the registry on the jump host. After a reboot, you can copy files using RDP.

Steps

  1. Use RDP to log in to the jump host on Azure.
  2. Open the command-line window.
  3. Copy the cis-regedit.exe executable file from the CR VM that enables files transfers:
    1. Use SCP to copy the cis-regedit registry edit program to a local directory: 
      scp azureuser@<cr_host_ip>:/home/azureuser/azure_cr/cis-regedit.exe  C:/Users/azureuser/Desktop
    2. Provide the CR VM password.
    3. Close the command-line window and verify that the file has been copied to the desktop.
  4. Open a PowerShell session with admin privileges.
  5. Enable file transfers over RDP:
    1. Change directory to Desktop. 
       cd C:/Users/azureuser/Desktop
    2. Run the .\cis-regedit.exe enableFileTransfer command.
    3. Press Enter to confirm the command and acknowledge the reboot.
      The jump host reboots automatically.
  6. After the reboot, use RDP to log in to the jump host.
    You can now use RDP to copy and paste files to the jump host.
  7. Copy and paste the files to the jump host.
    1. If you are installing a browser, install the browser executable and then verify that the browser is operational. Otherwise, go to the next substep.
    2. After you complete the file transfers, secure the jump host by disabling file transfers over RDP, as described in the following steps.
  8. From the PowerShell session, disable file transfers over RDP:
    1. Change directory to Desktop: 
       cd C:/Users/azureuser/Desktop
    2. Run .\cis-regedit.exe disableFileTransfer.
    3. Press Enter to confirm the command and acknowledge the reboot.
      The jump host reboots automatically.
  9. After the reboot, use RDP to log in to the jump host.
  10. Delete the cis-regedit registry edit program.
  11. Empty the Recycle Bin.
