If you are off campus, please make sure you have installed the Pulse Secure VPN first before continuing. If you have not installed the Global Protect VPN on your personal windows machine, please click here.

2. Type in "Remote Desktop" and Remote Desktop Connection should pop up.

3. In the "Computer" field enter rds.ua.lan and then click on connect .
