Once a host device (an on-campus work computer) is configured for Remote Desktop, and you know the name of the host device, you can connect to it using Remote Desktop from a client device.
Please note:
- The host device must be turned on and connected to the university network to connect to it using Remote Desktop.
- To save energy you can turn off the host device. To turn the device on you can use the PowerUp service.
- If you do not know the host device's full computer name, click Start | Control Panel | System, and the Full computer name is listed on the information page. For example, abc-123.iowa.uiowa.edu
