Once you have:

  • Received VPN access, request access here if you haven't already.
  • Enabled Remote Desktop on your desktop computer, instructions available here
  • Installed the Pulse Secure client on the laptop or home computer you will be using to connect with, instructions available here
  • You MUST be connected to Pulse Secure prior to proceeding. 
  • Look up your office Computer Host Name.
    • To find this: 
  1. In the bottom left hand corner where it says "Type here to search": enter "About your PC"

                                 4. The host name is the device name.

On your laptop/home computer/desktop, type Remote Desktop Connection in the search to open Remote Desktop Connection:

Type in the device name and then connect. A box will come up to prompt you for your credentials, enter FAU\username and password > connect.
