Remote Desktop from Windows 7 to a PC

 

This guide is intended for staff who remote into a Windows PC workstation in the Press office.  These instructions will help you to connect from a Windows 7 computer to a PC workstation. 

 

Please note before Continuing: 

• You must connect to the Press network using Pulse Secure before continuing.  Please follow these instructions if you have not already connected using Pulse Secure.

 

Step 1:   Launch Remote Desktop Protocol, which is the program used to connect to a remote workstation.  Click the Windows Start button, type rdp in the search box and hit enter. 

 

                               

 

Note: On the next page you may be prompted to verify that you want to connect.  Place a check mark next to "Don't ask me again..." and click Connect.

 

Step 2:  Previously, you used an IP address to connect.  The Host Name of your Press PC was provided to you by IT in a separate email.  The subject of that email is "Your Press Workstation Host Name."  In the Computer field, enter the Host Name of your Press PC in the form YOUR-HOST-NAME.press.jhu.edu and click Connect. 

                               
                        

 

Note:  If you are shown the security message below, click the Don’t ask me again for connections to this computer checkbox and click Connect.

                               

 

 

Step 3:  When prompted, enter your username in the form jhupress\YourInitials and the password of the computer in the Press building.

 

Congratulations!  You are now connected to your workstation.
