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.

When someone requests exposure of a remote control or shell service
( e.g. RDP, VNC, SSH, telnet ) we will grant it but only after
recommending they use our VPN instead.
