Microsoft's "Remote desktop connection" app allows you to remotely access Windows computers located on iscte installations.

Requirements

• Write down the name (hostname) and IP of the Iscte computer.
• Do not turn off Iscte's computer.

At home

• Connect to VPN

How to call?

Use the Microsoft Remote desktop connection application to connect to your Iscte computer.

• Open the "Remote Desktop Connection" app.
  
  
  
• Place the IP of the Iscte machine in the "Computer" field and authenticate using the Iscte credentials, in the format: IULxxnes (like the Ximenes Shale user, whose user name is xxnes@iscte-iul.pt).
  
  On computers with older installations, if you fail to authenticate above, use iscte credentials in the format: ISCTExxnes (for the example of user Xisto Ximenes, whose username is xxnes@iscte-iul.pt).
  
• Click "Connect".
  
  
  
• Click "Yes".

How to get the PC IP?

• In the taskbar, select the Ethernet Network icon > the Ethernet network connection (in this example, contoso.com).
  
  
  
• Under "Ethernet", select the Ethernet network connection.
• Under "Properties," look for the IP address listed next to the IPv4 address.
