Using a free piece of software called Remmina, you can remote desktop into Windows PCs using RDP (remote desktop protocol)
- Install using
sudo apt-get install remmina
...into Windows 7
- Open up Remmina desktop client and create new connection profile (top left + )
- Put whatever name, select Protocol > RDP and enter;
- Server >
PC IP address
orISComputerName.ad.nottingham.ac.uk
(search for remote desktop on Windows settings for computer name) - User name >
ISusername
- Domain >
ad.nottingham.ac.uk
- Add local shared folders and/or change screen resolution/colour
- Once you save and connect, it will ask you for your password
...into Windows 10 (or Windows externally)
IS has installed a remote desktop gateway for logging in securely;
- Follow the connection profile creation as above, but now go to the advanced tab and add;
- RD Gateway server >
rdgateway.nottingham.ac.uk
- RD Gateway username >
AD/ISUsername
- RD Gateway domain >
ad.nottingham.ac.uk
