Create Connection Specific RDP File - *Optional for Windows (Advanced)

If you only connect to one HS computer but frequently connect to machines on other domains, you will find that you need to remove the “tsgate.hs.uci.edu” server to be able to properly connect to your other computers. To work around this you can create a shortcut that connects directly to your HS computer without affecting the server settings for your other connections. To do this, you need to save an .RDP file that has the correct into in it. Make sure you have followed the previous instructions and properly added the server into the advanced settings before proceeding.
With the server information and computer IP address or server already set, click on “Options”. You should see the screen below.
Click “Save As…” and give your .RDP file a name (such as UCI HS Connection in the example).

Select your desktop and the destination for your .RDP file. Under “File name:” enter the desired name for your .RDP file and click “Save”.

Now just double-click your newly created file on the Desktop and authenticate as usual. Now you can launch remote desktop using the old icon, remove the server settings that were setup previously and properly connect to your other computers.

Authentication for your remote workstation

However when the remote desktop client is properly configured, you should not be required to type in your credentials any more than you did before. Click on the appropriate link below for configuration information:

I receive an ‘Access Denied’ error when trying to remote into my workstation

Either you are attempting to remote into the wrong computer due to a typo in the hostname, or DNS has not updated. Check the spelling of your hostname and try again. If you still receive the error, try to remote in using your IP address instead (in the configuration steps, replace the HOSTNAME with your IP ADDRESS). If the problem persists contact the service desk.
