Faculty, Staff, Administrators and authorized Students can utilize VMware Horizon to access virtual Windows 10 desktops for remote access.
- From a modern browser browse to https://aruba.siena.edu
- You will be presented with two options:
- "VMware Horizon HTML Access" should work for most people and does not require any additional software installation.
- Advanced users may want to install a desktop application. For these users they can select "Install VMware Horizon Client" to find the appropriate client for their particular operating system.
- Login with your Siena credentials.
- Click on the presented Desktop Pool to initiate the Windows desktop session.
- Use the Windows session that appears in your browser.
- Use the "Log off of this computer" desktop shortcut to logout.
- If you get disconnected without logging out the session should remain available to reconnect to for 4 hours.
- NOTE: Only do this if necessary. We have a limited number of concurrent desktops available and not logging out restricts resource availability for others.
