Using STEM via the VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure)
- You can use the VDI to access corporate applications, electronic resources (e.g. electronic journals and library catalogues) and software when working off-campus on your personal device (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android). You will also see your home drive and team drives.
- You can access the VDI in two ways: via your web browser; by installing the VMWare Horizon client on your computer.
- Please see the Toolkit for info on using the VDI at https://www.abdn.ac.uk/toolkit/systems/remote-access/ and refer to the guidance on using the VDI. Once you log into the VDI using your university username and password, click STEM, then search for the software in the search bar.
- Note: The number of users who can log into VDI at any one time is limited. The VDI will prompt you if there are no virtual desktops available; you can try connecting again later.
- If you cannot log onto the STEM VDI, can you please let me know and I will pass your ticket to our Classroom team to grant access?
Remote VPN
- Remote VPN is our browser-based, remote access solution for personal devices (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Windows Mobile, Android).
- Remote VPN provides you with secure, authenticated, access to personal (H: drive) off-campus or over the University wireless network.
- If you need to access a shared network drive (e.g. a team drive) or an on-campus computer remotely, please contact the Service Desk.
- All you need is an internet connection - open a web browser and log in to the VPN with your usual University username and password. The first time you log in, you may need to install the VPN components.
