Kl188: /* Welcome Screen */

[https://www.mersive.com/products/solstice/ Solstice] is a wireless and content sharing solution. It enables multiple users to connect simultaneously to a shared display using laptops and mobile devices over an existing wireless network without the need for cables or additional hardware.

All conference rooms in the [[Iribe/ConferenceRooms | Brendan Iribe Center]] and some in the [[ATL/ConferenceRooms | Atlantic Building]] are equipped with [https://www.mersive.com/product/the-solstice-pod/ Solstice Mersive Pods].

== Welcome Screen ==
When viewing a Solstice display that does not have a current collaboration session, you will see the Welcome Screen containing the Solstice display name, a screen key, network information, user connection instructions, and the Solstice display menu.

== How to Connect to a Display ==
# Ensure you are connected to either the UMD wireless or wired network.
# Open the Solstice user app.
# Search for a specific display by name/IP in the search bar.
# When prompted, enter in the screen key listed on the Solstice display.
# The user app will join the collaboration session with full media posting and control rights.

== Mirror Your iOS Device Screen Using AirPlay ==
Solstice supports full mirroring of iOS 7+ devices (Apple iPhones and iPads) that feature Apple’s AirPlay functionality. AirPlay mirroring is accomplished through the device’s native AirPlay feature, using a similar process as connecting to an Apple TV.

* Ensure the iOS device is on the WiFi network used to connect to the Solstice display.
* Swipe upward from the bottom or downward from the upper-right corner of your screen to open the iOS Control Center.
* Tap the Screen Mirroring button and select the desired Solstice display from the list that appears.
* If the desired display does not appear in the AirPlay menu of your device, open the Solstice App and connect to the desired display, then repeat steps 2 and 3.
* If prompted, enter the screen key visible on the Solstice display. Your device will connect wirelessly to the display and your screen will be streamed in real-time.
* To stop mirroring your screen to the display, swipe upward from the bottom or downward from the upper-right corner of your screen to open the iOS Control Center, tap the Airplay button, then tap Stop Mirroring.

== Share Your Windows Device Screen Using Miracast ==
If your organization has enabled streaming with Miracast, users without the Solstice user app can connect and share their screen to the display using Miracast capabilities on their Windows device.

Screen mirroring on an Android device may not support audio streaming.

* On your Windows laptop, hit the Windows key + P.
* In the menu that appears, click Connect to a wireless display. A list of displays appears. Note: If the display is enabled for Miracast but you do not see it in the list of available displays, try scrolling down to ensure it is not hidden.
* Select the Solstice display. If prompted for a PIN, enter the screen key from the display. Your device will connect wirelessly to the display and your screen will be streamed in real-time.
* To change how your device handles the display, hit the Windows key + P, then select one of the display options that appear. Mersive recommends using the Duplicate setting when streaming with Miracast.
* To stop Miracast streaming to the display, hit the Windows key + P, click Connect to a wireless display, then click Disconnect.

Creating service admin user on macOS

2026-03-23T18:49:24Z

Kl188: /* Creating the new account */

When taking an Apple product to the [https://it.umd.edu/terrapin-tech Terrapin Tech store], it is critical that you create a Service Admin User on your computer before having it serviced. The technicians at the store require an admin user name and password, and if the pre-existing password is the same as your UMD passphrase, revealing it to the technicians would represent a security vulnerability. To remedy this, you must create a new temporary user account with administrator privileges that the technicians can use to service your machine.

==Creating the new account==
* Make sure you are logged in to an administrator account on your MacBook.
# Navigate to System Preferences. (Click on the Apple Logo at the top lefthand side of the screen, and select "System Preferences" from the dropdown menu.)
# From the System Preferences menu, select "Users and Groups" .
# On the righthand side of the screen where it lists the users currently on the machine, click on the 'Add User' button.
# By default, the new account will be set to a Standard account. Select the "New User" dropdown menu and choose "Administrator" from the list.
#: [[Image:AdminSonoma1.png|400px |alt=Screenshot of pop up to Create User following indicated prompt]]
# The new user's full name should be "Service Admin," and the account name should be "serviceadmin".
# The password is up to you, so long as it's not the same as your UMD passphrase.
#: [[Image:AdminSonoma.png|400px |alt=Screenshot of pop up to Create User following indicated prompt]]
# Select "Create User".

When prompted by the Terrapin Tech store, you should give this account's credentials to the technician, '''not''' your UMD account credentials. Once the service is completed, the account can be deleted.

BarracudaSpamFirewall/QuarantinePassthrough

Kl188: /* Quarantine Passthrough */

===Quarantine Passthrough===
*If you wish to have the mail that would ordinarily be quarantined by Barracuda delivered to your mailbox instead you can configure this using the Barracuda web interface. You can log in to the system using any of our firewalls using your UMIACS email address (username@umiacs.umd.edu) and UMD passphrase:
**[https://bubs.umiacs.umd.edu bubs.umiacs.umd.edu]
**[https://pompom.umiacs.umd.edu pompom.umiacs.umd.edu]

*Once you have successfully logged in, click the Preferences tab at the top of the screen. Then select Quarantine Settings.
[[Image:BarracudaPref.jpg|900px |alt=Screenshot of Barracuda Email Security Gateway showing indicated fields]]

*On this screen there is a selection box for Quarantine Enable/Disable. By changing this option to "No" all mail that would be captured by the Barracuda quarantine filter will instead be delivered to your mailbox with the tag [QUAR] prepended to the subject line. Click Save Changes and you're done.
[[Image:BarracudaChanges.jpg|900px |alt=Screenshot of sections Quarantine Enable/Disable, Quarantine Notification, and Default Language following indicated prompt]

===Filtering the Quarantined messages from your inbox===
Since the quarantine filter will no longer catch mail that would have been previously removed from your inbox, you may wish to set up a filter to redirect these messages to an appropriate folder.

MailmanFAQ

2026-03-23T18:46:04Z

Kl188:

===How do I post to a mailing list?===
Members of a Mailman list can post by sending mail to:

list-name@lists.umiacs.umd.edu
Please make sure to substitute list-name for the name of your list.

===How do I add users to a mailing list?===
* Login to the mailing list's adminstration page with the admin password for the list.

https://lists.umiacs.umd.edu/mailman/admin/MAILINGLISTNAME

* Click "Membership Management..." -> Choose "Mass Subscription".
[[File:Mailman_Step1.png |alt=Screenshot of Mailing List Administration General Options Section showing indicated fields]]
[[File:Mailman Step 2.png |alt=Screenshot of Mailing List Administration Membership Management Section showing indicated fields]]
* In the "Mass Subscriptions" panel, enter one address per line of users you would like to subscribe.
* Click "Submit Your Changes" button.
[[File:Mailman Step_3&4.png |alt=Screenshot of Mass Subscriptions showing indicated fields]]
* You can verify by choosing "Membership List" under "Membership Management..." and finding each user's address.
* After completion, click "Logout".

===How can someone subscribe without me doing anything?===
They just need to go to

https://lists.umiacs.umd.edu/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME

and fill in the form. They can also subscribe/unsubscribe by email by sending to

LISTNAME-subscribe

or to unsubscribe,

LISTNAME-unsubscribe

In ALL of the above cases, the user will receive email confirming their action. They need to just reply to the mail for this to take affect.

===Is there an easy way to discard all messages waiting to be reviewed?===
If you have a list where non members can post but their messages are moderated, you'll have to deal with a lot of spam. After sometime, just a small percentage of them will be good posts.

The admindb page has a checkbox that allows you to discard all held messages that are marked Defer. On heavy lists with lots of spam holds, this makes clearing them much faster.

To make sure that all mail from non-members is automatically deleted, go to the privacy page followed by the sender-filter sub-page. At the bottom of the page, set to "discard" the value for "Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined."

On the same page, at the top, you can do the same thing for postings by members (if your list is moderated such that users can't post).

===How do I turn off HTML messages/attachments?===
On the admin page, go to the Content Filtering section.

Change "Should Mailman filter ..." to Yes.

If you leave the rest at default values, including

Yes for "Should Mailman convert text/html parts to plain text?"

your list will only distribute plain text messages with no attachments.

===How can I post from 2 or more addresses to a "members-only" list?===
If you're subscribed to a members-only list as USER@umiacs.umd.edu and accidentally post as USER@umd.edu, your message will not go through.

The solution is to actually subscribe both addresses to the list, but to disable delivery from all but one of the addresses. So in the above example, I'd subscribe USER@umiacs.umd.edu and USER@umd.edu, but I would disable delivery to USER@umd.edu.

You can disable delivery to an address by going to the personal options page for that address and setting "Mail delivery" to "disabled".

The list manager can disable delivery to an address by going to the membership page and clicking "no mail" next to the address in question.

===How do I change a member's password or send them their password?===
Go to the Membership Management page, click the address in question. The page that appears allows you to set a user's password or mail them their existing password by clicking on

"Email my password to me"

Note all the other options you can set for the user here.

Don't forget that members can have their password sent to them anytime they like by clicking the appropriate button on their personal page. There is no need for you to change their password if they forget their password. They just have to go to

https://lists.umiacs.umd.edu/mailman/options/LISTNAME/USERNAME%40DOMAINNAME

e.g.:

https://lists.umiacs.umd.edu/mailman/options/umiacs/johndoe%40umiacs.umd.edu

===How can I restrict the list so only authorized persons can post?===
Turn on the moderation flag for all your existing users. Go to the Membership Management page, and use the Additional Member Tasks to turn on the mod flag for all users.

Then go to Privacy Options -> Sender filters and set the default_member_moderation flag to Yes so that new users are automatically set as moderated.

Set the member_moderation_action to Reject and add a nice rejection notice text to the following text box.

Set the generic_nonmember_action to Reject or Discard.

===How do I unsubscribe users without them getting an unsubscribe message?===
By default, they will not get an unsubscribe message. You need only go to the membership page and click the "unsub" button next to each of their names and press "submit" or go to the Mass Removal subpage under Membership Management and add all the addresses into the window and click "submit".

===How do I edit a held message before approving it for the list?===
* Use the "forward this message" feature in the admindb page to forward the message to yourself.
* At the same time, discard the original held message. You may want to do this later, after you're sure the message was properly forwarded to you.
* Edit the message in your mail reader. You should include a notice in the message explaining that the list moderator has edited the message. Please use proper netiquette!
* Resend the message to the list using a Resent-To: header containing the list posting address. Also include an Approved: header containing the list's admin password.

===Why don't some messages get to the list?===
* Some lists may have spam filters turned on by staff to eliminate problems.
* These filters are under "Privacy options..." -> "Spam filters".
* The most common of these that will be applied is to restrict posts with [QUAR] in the subject.

ConferenceRooms/Zoom

2026-03-23T18:35:40Z

Kl188: /* Logging into Zoom */

== Introduction ==
Below are steps outlining how to start a Zoom meeting. If, at any point, you have questions or need other assistance, feel free to reach out to the [[HelpDesk | UMIACS Help Desk]].

== Logging into Zoom ==
Before starting a meeting, be sure to log into your account. Do this by following these steps:
# Using the conference room PC, log into the *Conference* or *Guest* user account. If the PC is already signed into the desktop, sign out and then sign in again to ensure a clean slate. This happens if someone has left the PC without signing out previously, which may have left their Zoom account or otherwise still signed in. It will automatically sign out after 8 hours of inactivity. Please be sure to sign out when you are done.
#* Using the Display on the Podium, tap the screen to turn it on.
#* Under the Sources tab at the bottom, select *PC1* or *PC Main*. [[File:Zoom_mon1.png|border|center|800px |alt=Picture of Conference Room Computer showing indicated fields]]
#* You will see the display at the opposite end of the room light up with the Windows login screen. Click the mouse, or press ENTER.
#* Select the *Conference* or *Guest* account. This account does not require a password. Subsequently, any changes you make on the account will not be saved. It may take up to two minutes to sign in because of the shared PC settings being used to set up the account. [[File:Zoom_mon3.png|border|center|800px |alt=Picture of Conference Profile Display logging in to the computer showing indicated fields]]
#* Click the search bar at the bottom left of the Desktop and type in 'Zoom'. You will see the Zoom Application in the search results. Press ENTER, or double click the Zoom Application. [[File:Zoom_mon4.png|border|center|800px |alt=Screenshot of Start Menu following indicated fields]]
#* Once you are done, be sure to sign out of the session by right clicking the Windows button in the bottom left of the Desktop, hovering over 'Shut Down or Sign out', and clicking 'sign out'.
# Launch the Zoom application. You can either use the shortcut on the desktop or you can search for it in the search bar in the bottom left of the desktop.
# On the right side of the login window, click on 'Sign in with SSO', this will allow you to sign in with your UMD credentials. Type in 'umd' under company domain. Click 'Continue'. This will cause a browser tab to automatically open up.
# In the browser, sign in to your UMD account with your credentials. Once you finish signing in on the browser, Zoom should automatically log you into your account. If not, click the big blue 'Launch Zoom' button.
[[File:zoom_SSO.png|center|border |alt=Screenshot of Zoom Sign In and Sign In with SSO]]
[[File:zoom_UMD.png|center|border |alt=Screenshot of Sign In with SSO inputting "umd" as Company Domain]]

== Zoom Meetings ==
'''Joining an Existing Meeting'''
* To join an existing meeting, click on 'Join' in the Zoom home page. A popup window will require a meeting ID (usually a 10-11 digit number) or a personal link. This should have been provided to you in advance by the host.

'''Starting a New Zoom Meeting'''
* To create a new meeting, click on 'New Meeting' in the Zoom home page. Zoom will start the meeting for you.
* To invite others to your meeting, follow these steps:
*# In the Zoom Meeting, click on 'participants' at the bottom. A new window will open up.
*# At the bottom of the participants window, click the 'invite' button. A new window will open.
*# At the bottom of this window, click the 'Copy Invitation' button. This will copy a generic invitation message to your clipboard. You may paste this to send to your invitees.

'''Connecting Zoom Audio'''
* To use the lectern microphone as a source of audio for the zoom, unmute the mic and unmute yourself on Zoom. Alternatively, you may use your personal laptop as an audio source. If you choose to do so, remember to mute the lectern mic to avoid feedback.

'''Zoom Video Setup'''
* To display video from the conferencing room to the Zoom meeting, select camera A or B, then 'shared video' (red icon in 'Select video source' screen). Adjust the participant layout on Zoom as needed.
* To display video from a personal laptop to Zoom, plug in your laptop to any one of the lectern cables. Select 'laptop', then route it to shared video and/or projector or monitor. If your screen is mirrored, deselect 'mirror my background' in video settings on Zoom.

'''After the Zoom meeting, sign out of the Conference or Guest account and shut down the A/V system.'''

Windows Personal Backups

2026-03-23T18:27:06Z

Kl188: /* Procedure */

==Overview==
In addition to the [[NightlyBackups | nightly backups]] we perform for our supported Windows workstations or the [[CloudDataStorage | cloud storage]] UMD offers for other university-owned devices, you may want to create your own personal backups of data stored on our devices. There are many backup software solutions available, but this article will focus on using Windows' built-in backup tool, [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027408/windows-10-backup-and-restore File History].

We strongly encourage encrypting your backups. Please see [[BitLocker/PersonalUse]] for instructions on how to prepare an encrypted portable hard drive to use for backups.

==Prerequisites==
* A portable hard drive formatted with the NTFS file system.
* Any desktop edition of Windows 11.

==Procedure==
# Insert your portable hard drive into any USB slot and search File History in the start menu to open the Backup settings system settings item.
#: [[File:Filehistory1.png |alt=Screenshot of Start Menu showing indicated fields]]
# Click Add a drive and select your portable drive.
#: [[File:Filehistory2.png |alt=Screenshot of Backup showing indicated fields]]
# File History is now enabled for the default folders it backs up (all folders in C:\Users\<yourusername>) and will regularly back them up at the default interval (one hour), and keep all differential versions of all files.
#: [[File:Filehistory3.png |alt=Screenshot of Backup showing indicated fields]]
# To include/exclude folders or configure the backup schedule or retention of differential versions, click on More options. You can also manually start a backup from this menu by clicking Back up now.
#: [[File:Filehistory4.png |alt=Screenshot of Backup options showing indicated fields]]

===Inactivity===
If your drive is disconnected for 5 days or more, you will receive the following Windows notification.

[[File:Filehistory5.png |alt=Screenshot of notification pop up "Reconnect your drive" showing indicated fields]]

Simply reconnect the drive and backups will automatically resume at the configured interval.

BitLocker

2026-03-23T18:23:18Z

Kl188: /* BitLocker at UMIACS */

''See also'': [[BitLocker/PersonalUse]] if you want to secure an external hard drive with BitLocker.

==Overview==
BitLocker Drive Encryption is a data protection feature available in all modern versions of Windows. Having BitLocker integrated with the operating system addresses the threats of data theft or exposure from lost, stolen, or inappropriately decommissioned computers.

Data on a lost or stolen computer is vulnerable to unauthorized access, either by running a software-attack tool against it or by transferring the computer's hard disk to a different computer. BitLocker helps mitigate unauthorized data access by enhancing file and system protections. BitLocker also helps render data inaccessible when BitLocker-protected computers are decommissioned or recycled.

Official Microsoft documentation can be found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/device-security/bitlocker/bitlocker-overview

==BitLocker at UMIACS==
All of our supported personal office workstations as well all [[Windows/LaptopSupport | enterprise-supported laptops and home machines]] will have BitLocker enabled by UMIACS staff as part of each machine's install process.

===Recovery Key Prompts===
Ordinarily, no interaction should be required with BitLocker to keep it in a functional state. However, a few circumstances may lead to BitLocker detecting changes to the system boot information and prevent the computer from reaching Windows. This is by design.

[[File:Bitlocker-recovery.jpg|400px |alt=Screenshot of Windows Bitlocker Drive Encryption Recovery Key Entry showing indicated prompt]]

Some factors that may cause this (not exhaustive):
* BIOS or firmware updates -- '''some manufacturer automatic driver update utilities include these by default - beware!'''
* DVDs or USB drives inserted or plugged in during boot
* Malware on the system

The first step should always be to disconnect any external devices and then power the machine off and back on. This ensures that the hardware configuration of the machine is the same as it was when UMIACS staff initially enabled BitLocker. If the prompt still pops up, please contact UMIACS staff for further troubleshooting.

===Temporarily Suspending Bitlocker===
In the event that you encounter the recovery screen above, after booting back into Windows, follow these steps to ensure the prompt does not appear on subsequent reboots. The first two steps can also be taken proactively if you know you will be making a change that affects BitLocker. (see above)

# Search for BitLocker in the Start menu and click on "Manage BitLocker".
#: [[File:Bitlocker1.png|300px |alt=Screenshot of Search Menu showing indicated field]]
# Click "Suspend protection" on the Operating system drive and hit Yes to the confirmation prompt.
#: [[File:Bitlocker2.png|300px |alt=Screenshot of Operating System Drive showing indicated field]][[File:Bitlocker3.png|300px |alt=Screenshot of BitLocker Drive Encryption pop up showing indicated field]]
# If you are doing something to the computer that would ordinarily trigger BitLocker recovery, perform that operation and then reboot. Once you log back into Windows, open the "Manage BitLocker" item again and click "Resume protection".
#: [[File:Bitlocker4.png|300px |alt=Screenshot of Operating System Drive showing indicated field]]
# BitLocker will resume and commit the current boot configuration.

Remote Desktop

=Introduction=
Remote Desktop allows you to connect to another computer from a network that is compatible. Currently, at UMIACS, this feature is only supported for Windows hosts using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). If you need to remotely connect to a UNIX host, please see [[SecureShell]]. With RDP, you can control your Windows desktop environment through a graphical user interface. Mouse and keyboard movements are transferred over a network to a Windows host running an RDP server, which sends screen refreshes back.

To access an RDP-enabled machine, you must be within the UMIACS network border ([[VPN]] or wired-in). You must also be authorized to access and remotely control the host you are requesting. If a remote session is active, it is not possible for another user to log onto the console in-person. Attempting to use RDP when a computer is in use by another user could force the existing user to logoff and lose their work. You should always quit RDP by logging off of the remote computer. Simply quitting the RDP client can cause you to stay logged in and prevent other users from accessing the remote host, even at the physical console.

=How to Connect=
*'''Prerequisites:'''
** Be within the UMIACS network border.
** Be a member of the 'Remote Desktop Users' group on the remote machine. Please [[HelpDesk | contact staff]] if you do not have remote access to a machine you feel you should.

==Windows==
For connecting to Windows client over RDP, we recommend the native Windows 'Remote Desktop Connection' client.

# To start the RDC client, click the "Start'" or "Windows" button on the taskbar. In the menu, navigate to "All Programs," "Accessories," then select "Remote Desktop Connection". Alternatively, you can search for "Remote Desktop Connection" in the Start menu's search field.
# Once RDC client starts, type the name of the RDP/Windows host you are trying to access. The name should be the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FDQN), e.g. <tt>desktop.'''ad.umiacs.umd.edu'''</tt> where <code>desktop</code> is replaced by the name of the desktop you are trying to connect to. At this point, click "Connect" to initiate the RDP session.
#* [[File:RemoteDesktop-ConnectPrompt.png |alt=Screenshot of Remote Desktop Connection showing indicated field|]]
# Upon reaching the Windows Security prompt, enter your UMD credentials. Please note that the username must be in the format <code>AD\username</code> or <code>username@ad.umd.edu</code>, where <code>username</code> is replaced by your UMD directory ID. The slash must also be a back slash and not a forward slash. If the username is either not correct or not the desired account, click on "More choices" and select "Use another account". Click "Ok" when you are done.
#* [[File:RemoteDesktop-Credentials.png |alt=Screenshot of Windows Security showing indicated field]]
# After the connection is started, a warning message may alert you to an identity verification failure. For UMIACS machines, you can ignore this and proceed by checking the box and selecting "Yes".
#* [[File:RemoteDesktop-SecurityPrompt.png |alt=Screenshot of Remote Desktop Connection showing warning message]]
# You should now be viewing the remote computer. '''To terminate the session, you should logout of Windows'''.
To switch between your current host and the remote host, click the minimize or "-" button on the top connection bar. With RDC, the clipboard can be transferred between the remote and current host while the RDC client is running and logged in.

Alternatively, you can use the Microsoft Remote Desktop application from the Windows Store, which is available for download [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/microsoft-remote-desktop/9wzdncrfj3ps?activetab=pivot%3Aoverviewtab here.]

# Open Microsoft Remote Desktop.
# Click "Add" in the top right corner.
#* [[File:Microsoft Remote Desktop Step 1.png |alt=Screenshot of Microsoft Remote Desktop front page and where the "Add" button is]]
# Next, click "Desktop - Connect to a PC".
#* [[File:Microsoft Remote Desktop Step 2.png |alt=Screenshot of Microsoft Remote Desktop next step after clicking "Add" and proceeding with indicated field]]
# Type the name of the RDP/Windows host you are trying to access in '''PC Name'''. The name should be the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FDQN), e.g. "desktop.'''ad.umiacs.umd.edu'''". Once you have filled that out, click Save.
#* [[File:Microsoft Remote Desktop Step 3.png |alt=Screenshot of Microsoft Remote Desktop showing indicated field]]
# Now, you should be on a page where you will see the PC you have just added. '''Double-click the PC''' and enter your UMD credentials. Please note that the username must be in the format AD\username (this must be a back slash and not a forward slash). Then, click Connect.
#* [[File:Microsoft Remote Desktop Step 4.png |alt=Screenshot of Microsoft Remote Desktop showing indicated field]]
#* [[File:Microsoft Remote Desktop Step 5.png |alt=Screenshot of Microsoft Remote Desktop showing indicated field]]
# If it asks to "Accept certificate and connect?", press Connect.

==macOS==
For connecting to Windows client over RDP, we recommend the 'Microsoft Remote Desktop' [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop-10/id1295203466?mt=12 application]. Another option, although less preferred, is the CoRD client.
# Open the 'Microsoft Remote Desktop Application' and select '+ New' to create a new device profile
#* [[File:first_ss_real_real.png | 400px |alt=Screenshot of Microsoft Remote Desktop showing indicated field]]
# Fill in the'PC Name' field with the name of the remote host you wish to connect to. If you wish to redirect resources from the remote machine to your local machine, please see the section titled 'Redirecting Resources on Mac' below. Then press the blue add button in the bottom right corner.
#* [[File:fakePC_and_add.png | 300px |alt=Screenshot of Microsoft Remote Desktop's Add PC showing indicated field]]
# You will now see the device listed below. Double click it to start the connection.

#* [[File:certificate_thing.png | 400px |alt=Screenshot of Microsoft Remote Desktop's certificate pop up showing indicated field]]

==UNIX==
If you are trying to access a Windows host via RDP from UNIX, you should use the xfreerdp client from the command line. This should be preinstalled, so there is no configuration that needs to happen.

To connect via RDP to a remote host with xfreerdp, type the following command, replacing values as appropriate:

<pre>xfreerdp -d AD -u <USERNAME> --plugin cliprdr -g <GEOMETRY> <HOSTNAME></pre>

Here is an explanation of the values above:
* <tt><GEOMETRY></tt>: Percent of remote host's screen to mirror on the client
* <tt><USERNAME></tt>: Your UMD directory ID (Do not include domain name)
* <tt><HOSTNAME></tt>: Fully Qualified Domain Name (FDQN) of the desired remote host

As with any of these RDP solutions, closing xfreerdp (using the top bar or using CTRL+C) without logging out could cause considerable problems for other users of the workstation. If you are using a shared workstation, please be sure to logout after you are finished with the remote machine using the Start menu.

Currently, at UMIACS, this feature is only supported for Windows hosts using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). If you need to remotely connect to a UNIX host, please see [[SecureShell]]. With RDP, you can control your Windows desktop environment through a graphical user interface. Mouse and keyboard movements are transferred over a network to a Windows host running an RDP server, which sends screen refreshes back.

To access an RDP-enabled machine, you must be within the UMIACS network border ([[VPN]] or wired-in). You must also be authorized to access and remotely control the host you are requesting. If a remote session is active, it is not possible for another user to log onto the console in-person. Attempting to use RDP when a computer is in use by another user could force the existing user to logoff and lose their work. You should always quit RDP by logging off of the remote computer. Simply quitting the RDP client can cause you to stay logged in and prevent other users from accessing the remote host, even at the physical console.

=How to Connect=
*'''Prerequisites:'''
** Be within the UMIACS network border.
** Be a member of the 'Remote Desktop Users' group on the remote machine. Please [[HelpDesk | contact staff]] if you do not have remote access to a machine you feel you should.

==Windows==
For connecting to Windows client over RDP, we recommend the native Windows 'Remote Desktop Connection' client.

# To start the RDC client, click the "Start'" or "Windows" button on the taskbar. In the menu, navigate to "All Programs," "Accessories," then select "Remote Desktop Connection". Alternatively, you can search for "Remote Desktop Connection" in the Start menu's search field.
# Once RDC client starts, type the name of the RDP/Windows host you are trying to access. The name should be the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FDQN), e.g. <tt>desktop.'''ad.umiacs.umd.edu'''</tt> where <code>desktop</code> is replaced by the name of the desktop you are trying to connect to. At this point, click "Connect" to initiate the RDP session.
#* [[File:RemoteDesktop-ConnectPrompt.png |alt=Screenshot of Remote Desktop Connection showing indicated field|]]
# Upon reaching the Windows Security prompt, enter your UMD credentials. Please note that the username must be in the format <code>AD\username</code> or <code>username@ad.umd.edu</code>, where <code>username</code> is replaced by your UMD directory ID. The slash must also be a back slash and not a forward slash. If the username is either not correct or not the desired account, click on "More choices" and select "Use another account". Click "Ok" when you are done.
#* [[File:RemoteDesktop-Credentials.png]]
# After the connection is started, a warning message may alert you to an identity verification failure. For UMIACS machines, you can ignore this and proceed by checking the box and selecting "Yes".
#* [[File:RemoteDesktop-SecurityPrompt.png]]
# You should now be viewing the remote computer. '''To terminate the session, you should logout of Windows'''.
To switch between your current host and the remote host, click the minimize or "-" button on the top connection bar. With RDC, the clipboard can be transferred between the remote and current host while the RDC client is running and logged in.

Alternatively, you can use the Microsoft Remote Desktop application from the Windows Store, which is available for download [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/microsoft-remote-desktop/9wzdncrfj3ps?activetab=pivot%3Aoverviewtab here.]

# Open Microsoft Remote Desktop.
# Click "Add" in the top right corner.
#* [[File:Microsoft Remote Desktop Step 1.png]]
# Next, click "Desktop - Connect to a PC".
#* [[File:Microsoft Remote Desktop Step 2.png]]
# Type the name of the RDP/Windows host you are trying to access in '''PC Name'''. The name should be the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FDQN), e.g. "desktop.'''ad.umiacs.umd.edu'''". Once you have filled that out, click Save.
#* [[File:Microsoft Remote Desktop Step 3.png]]
# Now, you should be on a page where you will see the PC you have just added. '''Double-click the PC''' and enter your UMD credentials. Please note that the username must be in the format AD\username (this must be a back slash and not a forward slash). Then, click Connect.
#* [[File:Microsoft Remote Desktop Step 4.png]]
#* [[File:Microsoft Remote Desktop Step 5.png]]
# If it asks to "Accept certificate and connect?", press Connect.

==macOS==
For connecting to Windows client over RDP, we recommend the 'Microsoft Remote Desktop' [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop-10/id1295203466?mt=12 application]. Another option, although less preferred, is the CoRD client.
# Open the 'Microsoft Remote Desktop Application' and select '+ New' to create a new device profile
#* [[File:first_ss_real_real.png | 400px]]
# Fill in the'PC Name' field with the name of the remote host you wish to connect to. If you wish to redirect resources from the remote machine to your local machine, please see the section titled 'Redirecting Resources on Mac' below. Then press the blue add button in the bottom right corner.
#* [[File:fakePC_and_add.png | 300px]]
# You will now see the device listed below. Double click it to start the connection.
#* [[File:Location .png | 400px]]
# You will then be prompted for the username and password used to log into the remote host. After typing in both the username and password, press the blue continue button.
#* [[File:My_username_and_password.png | 400px]]
# If you see a screen appear that looks like the one pictured below, press the blue continue button. You should then be connected to the remote host.
#* [[File:certificate_thing.png | 400px]]

==UNIX==
If you are trying to access a Windows host via RDP from UNIX, you should use the xfreerdp client from the command line. This should be preinstalled, so there is no configuration that needs to happen.

To connect via RDP to a remote host with xfreerdp, type the following command, replacing values as appropriate:

<pre>xfreerdp -d AD -u <USERNAME> --plugin cliprdr -g <GEOMETRY> <HOSTNAME></pre>

Here is an explanation of the values above:
* <tt><GEOMETRY></tt>: Percent of remote host's screen to mirror on the client
* <tt><USERNAME></tt>: Your UMD directory ID (Do not include domain name)
* <tt><HOSTNAME></tt>: Fully Qualified Domain Name (FDQN) of the desired remote host

As with any of these RDP solutions, closing xfreerdp (using the top bar or using CTRL+C) without logging out could cause considerable problems for other users of the workstation. If you are using a shared workstation, please be sure to logout after you are finished with the remote machine using the Start menu.

=Redirecting Resources on Windows=
*'''Resource redirection must be set up before connection is established.'''

==Audio Redirection==
*'''This allows the remote desktop to access the audio capture and playback devices on the user's desktop.'''
# Click the "Show Options" drop down menu
# Navigate to the "Local Resources" tab
# Click the "Settings" button in the Remote audio box

# Click the "More" button in the Local devices and resources box.
# Click the checkbox next to the resources you would like to redirect.
# Select "OK".
# Select "Connect".

# Check the box titled 'Redirect folders,' if not checked already.
# Either select the folder(s) already listed you wish to access from the remote machine by checking the box next to the desired folder, or select the '+' button, then import and select the folder(s) you wish to access.
# Press the blue 'Add' button in the bottom right corner, or if you wish to direct other resources as well, see 'Other Resource Redirection' below.
#* [[File:Folder.png |300px]]

==Other Resource Redirection==
*'''This will allow for camera, printer, and/or microphone access to be shared between machines.'''
# Located halfway down the screen, select the 'Devices and Audio' tab.
# Ensure the boxes next to the services you would like to redirect are checked. For video, ensure that the 'Microphone' and 'Camera' boxes are checkmarked. For printer access, ensure that the 'Printers' box is checkmarked. Please be mindful to keep 'Clipboard' checkmarked, as that is what allows you to copy and paste between your local machine and the remote machine.
