titleCorona Virus Operating Conditions 2020

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol

permissions may be granted. 

RDP

/VNC

approvals will be temporary and not guaranteed after emergency conditions have passed and can only be initiated from a university

managed

device. Personal devices cannot be used for this connection

.NOTE: The use of RDP/VNC carries with it greater security risks than other methods of remote access. Therefore, additional reviews and approvals are required

  • A specific research task (data set operation) is only available on a particular on-campus workstation
