Remote desktop

From Kubuntu/Ubuntu Mate 16.04+...

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 or ISComputerName.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
• Tick the 'Server detection using RD Gateway' button
