Remote access to Windows Server of the faculty

There are one Windows Server 2022 (murphy), one Windows Server 2019 (castor) and three Windows Server 2016 (loki, lyra, euklid) at the faculty.

The logon to the Windows servers is controlled via the Active Directory (AD) of the URZ, i.e. URZ login and membership in the AD group rem-win are required. Membership in this group is regulated by the MRZ.

In the following the remote access to the Windows servers is shown using the example of the server euklid.mathematik.tu-chemnitz.de.

rdesktop -g 1440x900 -k de euklid.mathematik.tu-chemnitz.de -d TUC -u username

From Windows

Access is via the window's own remote desktop possible.

To get to the Windows login, you need to configure the remote desktop specifically. You can download ready-made configuration files from our website. Alternatively, there is a RemoteDesktopAPP in the store, which is especially useful for highresolution displays.

The configuration file allgemein.rdb is applicable for all servers and staff PC.
The files in the zip file are copied to any location on the PC, e.g. the desktop, and can then simply be clicked on.
Individual adjustments, e.g. size of the remote desktop, are possible via the "right mouse button" and „Edit".

Attention

From outside the university a VPN connection has to be established before calling the remote desktop and the name of the computer has to be entered in the form euklid.mathematik.tu-chemnitz.de!
