The ideal experience using Whitman Remote Desktop is to open your favorite web browser and go to https://rds.syr.edu.
At this webpage, you will be asked to log in using your SU NetID and Password.
Once you've logged in, you will see an icon called "Excel Cert", "Fac/Staff Use" and Student Use.
Click the desired Whitman Remote Desktop (you will also see SULabs, and any other custom session you have access to).
Click the Whitman Remote Desktop icon, check the box that says "Don't ask me again for connections to this computer", and click "Allow". You will be connected to the Remote Desktop within your web browser which will give you access to your desktop, H: + G: network drives, and applications available on any Whitman lab computer.
