Do you connect remotely to a Windows PC on campus? Your steps to connect will change starting September 27, 2021.
DePaul student employees, faculty, or staff that connect remotely to a
Windows PC will use a new process to connect to these on-campus
computers that require BlueKey multi-factor authentication (MFA). This
new Remote Desktop (RD) Gateway service will add important security to
DePaul’s network by preventing direct connections to Windows-based
computers on campus using Remote Desktop. This change will occur
starting on September 27, 2021, based on the building where your Windows PC resides (see table below for building and date listings).
Please switch before the deadline! Although you can
still remotely connect without the Gateway until 9/27, all student
employees, faculty, and staff are encouraged to switch over to the RD
Gateway and RD Helper Tool before this date in order to ensure a smooth
connection and minimal disruption.

Please note: if you do not remote into a machine on campus, you do not need to set this tool up.
