# Remote Access

<span style="color: black;">First you will need to make sure you have the CISCO Client installed and can connect to the University VPN. More information about that can be found here </span><u><span style="color: #96607d;">[https://answers.uillinois.edu/illinois/98773](https://answers.uillinois.edu/illinois/98773)</span></u><span style="color: black;"> (If you are logging in on campus you should not need to connect to the VPN).</span><span style="color: black;"> </span>

<span style="color: black;">Once the VPN connection is established you can use the Remote Desktop program in Windows to access the Yellowstone computer . More information is here </span><u><span style="color: #96607d;">[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-use-remote-desktop-5fe128d5-8fb1-7a23-3b8a-41e636865e8c](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-use-remote-desktop-5fe128d5-8fb1-7a23-3b8a-41e636865e8c)</span></u>

<span style="color: black;">Once you open Remote Desktop (built into Windows), you need to provide a computer name:</span>

igb-core-teton.ad.uillinois.edu  
igb-core-bryce.ad.uillinois.edu  
igb-core-zion.ad.uillinois.edu  
igb-core-yellow.ad.uillinois.edu

<span style="color: black;">Then press connect, then it will ask for your name and password. Just log in with your NetID and UofI password. You may need to specify your domain when you login, so use UOFI\\netid</span>

<span style="color: black;">Make sure to reserve the time for the computer on BookitLab. The computers will look unused while logged in remotely and someone may login and kick you off if you have not booked it. </span>
