Configuring Xrdp in Redhat (RHEL) 7 / CentOS 7

First thing is to install some type of desktop:
yum groupinstall "Gnome Desktop"
You need to install the epel repo. ****(The Next two lines may change if the version is not 7.8)****
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-8.noarch.rpm

rpm -ivh epel-release-7-8.noarch.rpm

yum clean all
yum repolist
Next install VNC and XRDP
yum install tigervnc-server xrdp

cp /etc/pam.d/sshd /etc/pam.d/xrdp-sesman
systemctl restart xrdp
systemctl enable xrdp

cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver\@.service /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
Orginal:
[Service]
Type=forking
# Clean any existing files in /tmp/.X11-unix environment
ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i > /dev/null 2>&1 || :'
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/runuser -l  -c "/usr/bin/vncserver %i"
PIDFile=/home//.vnc/%H%i.pid
ExecStop=/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i > /dev/null 2>&1 || :'
I used the root account for testing. Use any account you would like.
Working:
[Service]
Type=forking
# Clean any existing files in /tmp/.X11-unix environment
ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i > /dev/null 2>&1 || :'
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/runuser -l root -c "/usr/bin/vncserver %i -geometry 1280x1024"
PIDFile=/root/.vnc/%H%i.pid
ExecStop=/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i > /dev/null 2>&1 || :'
I did the above with sed:
sed -i 's/ -c/root -c/g' /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
sed -i 's/vncserver %i/vncserver %i -geometry 1280x1024/g' /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
sed -i 's/\/home\//\/root/g' /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
Reload the services
systemctl daemon-reload
Set the VNC Password
vncpasswd
Start the service and enable it on boot
systemctl start vncserver@:1.service
systemctl enable vncserver@:1.service
