Overview

The Remote Desktop feature on Windows allows a graphical connection to a workstation. Working through a Remote Desktop Connection feels like working in front of a workstation.

Enabling Remote Desktop Connections

Remote Desktop is turned off per default and needs to be turned on by ISG. If you require a Remote Desktop connection, please request it via email to support@. Remote Desktop will be enabled for your main login and on one workstation only.

Drawbacks

Most features such as sound forwarding and USB forwarding work but performance depends on the network connection to the workstation. If you are a ISDN dial-in from phone, expect delays when refreshing screens etc.

Installing software usually does not work via Remote Desktop connection, even if you were connected via a local administrator account.
