    Do you want to access remote windows partition and it's file? If so then try Samba.

    I think OP wants to control remote windows desktop, thus the need for rdesktop.

    The error means you are using an unregistered version of RHEL. Why are you doing this? You cannot install any software through yum update mechanism. You should install CentOS instead.
