Remote Access

Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) allows you to securely connect to 91ÉçÇø’s network as if you were on campus, making access to vital campus resources possible. WVD is a virtual desktop/software environment to allow faculty, staff, and students access to College-licensed software from their own computers. You can access the 91ÉçÇø Windows Virtual Desktop instances either from the Remote Desktop Web client or by installing the Remote Desktop client on a Windows 10/11 or Mac 10.14 or later computer. The web client is ideal if you expect to only occasionally use the Windows Virtual Desktop, or you are using a tablet or shared computer. If you expect to use the Windows Virtual Desktop often and are on your own PC or Mac computer, you will probably prefer to install desktop client.

Note: if the WVD environment does not support your remote needs, IT Security can review the request for additional access to the 91ÉçÇø Virtual Private Network (VPN).

You should see the following screen: 

  1. If you want to have a full desktop session, click on ‘Windows 10 Desktop’.  This will open a full Windows session and you can use any of the programs that are installed there.  If you are simply wanting to use a specific program and don’t want or need to have a full desktop session open, feel free to click on any of the icons that are shown.  These will open a new tab within your browser window that will display only that application.  You can still get to your files on OneDrive from the ‘Open’ commands within the applications.

In the following picture, Excel and JMP are both open and I can click between them using the icons next to the ‘All Resources’ button.

IMPORTANT - You cannot be logged into a full desktop session AND run applications from this portal at the same time.  If you have a full desktop session open and try to launch an application (or vice versa) it will simply not load.
