Remote Desktop Access |
To access your computer using a Windows Remote Desktop Connection (RDC), you have two secure options to choose from. You can either use the VPN client or the Terminal Services Gateway.
There are two ways to use TS Gateway. One is through a secure website, the other is by setting advanced options in the Windows RDC software.
