Re: Remote Access to Staff Desktops

We allow RDP access only through our VPN. We used to allow VNC (through VPN still) but have recently been discontinuing 
that practice because of holes in the different VNC softwares and our lack of ability to keep the software updated.

Subject: [SECURITY] Remote Access to Staff Desktops

Hi All,

We are receiving an increasing number of requests from staff to remotely access their desktops, for a variety of 
reasons.

I would be interested in hearing if any other Universities allow this, and if so how you are providing secure access, 
or if you have any thoughts/comments on the matter.

Thanks,

Tim
