Overview

HA-4238 (named YRL-WD-LUX201) was purchased to process large 3D datasets, and is managed by Doug Daniels. Doug sometimes will work with students that need to access this computer. These instructions are for enabling RDP for these students.

The computer is intended for remote access and does not have a desk or monitor to use in person. It is in room YRL 11630A1 (inside of the print/copy room 11630A), and opens with key X6949. DSC keeps a copy of the key. 

These student AD accounts are all located in the same OU, have an expiration date, and are not granted any access beyond the RDP rights to this specific computer.
