Connecting to Virtual Desktops - Apple Mobile Devices (iOS)

The Windows App Mobile (formerly Remote Desktop Mobile) Application can be used to access the University of Nevada Virtual Desktops, a virtual environment that can be used to access University licensed software and generic Windows desktops.

Connect to the VPN

NOTE: If you are currently connected to the University wireless (eduroam) or wired network you DO NOT need to connect to the VPN prior to connecting to any remote resources.

For increased security all remote connections require you to connect to the university VPN (Virtual Private Network) on your computer prior to initiating any remote connections.

If you have not previously connected to the VPN please follow the steps for first time connection to the VPN.
For any subsequent connections please use the steps for subsequent connections to the VPN.
