Quick Instructions (Windows Only)

  • Download the Remote Full Screen.rdp config file.
    • If you have multiple monitors at home and want to use all of them, use the Multi-Monitor.rdp config file instead.
  • Once downloaded, right-click on the file and select Edit.
    • Be sure to save it to a location where you'll be able to find it.  If it is in your Downloads folder, consider moving it to your desktop.
  • For computer name, enter your office computer's hostname.  You can find it by going to https://apps3.scb.rit.edu/MySupport/inventory to find your computer.  Add .main.ad.rit.edu to the end of the hostname.  For example.  If your hostname in inventory is scb-dt-1, then the computer name will be scb-dt-1.main.ad.rit.edu.
  • For user name, enter MAIN\ followed by your username.  MAIN\abcbbu
  • Click Save

When you double-click on the icon, it should bring you to your office computer.
