If you have requested that a Virtual Machine be created for your research computing needs, you will need a couple bits of information to access it:
...
- Open Microsoft Remote Desktop - you can do this from the Search Bar by typing in "Remote Desktop" and letting Windows present you with "Remote Desktop Connection"
- Type the hostname of your VM, given to you by Whitman IT.
- Click "Connect"
- Enter your NetID username and password - from a personally owned device, your NetID should be formatted as "ad\netid" (i.e., ad\jgorma01)
- If you're prompted with a dialog warning you that the certificate of the remote computer can't be verified, that's okay - click Continue.
- You should be connected and your desktop should load. Your VM uses the same G/H drive configuration as your campus-managed laptop/desktop. You also have the option to store data on your VM - you can make a folder on the C drive to do that.

Remember - if you're using your own personal (non-su managed/owned) computer, connect to Whitman Remote Desktop first! |

Please note you may receive a warning stating that the authenticity of the computer's security certificate can't be verified, or that it is self-signed. This is expected and not a concern. It is safe for you to continue.
