Virtual Desktop

The Carl R. Ice College of Engineering now offers a limited number of virtual desktops to its students. A virtual desktop is a virtualized computer that can be accessed from any internet-connected computer in the world and will allow our users to access any of the software we currently provide in our computing labs and classrooms. Please reference our complete list of software.

  • To connect from off-campus, partycasino games must first connect to the campus through K-State's Virtual Private Network (VPN). Attempts to connect directly will not work. On-campus connections do not need to (and should not) use the VPN. VPN software (free for K-State faculty/staff/students) is available on this website.
  • Once connected to the VPN, or partycasino games are physically on campus, partycasino games will just need to download our RDP connection file below. Once it is on your computer, double click it.
  • partycasino games will need to come to this webpage and download a new connection file every time partycasino games want to access our remote systems.
    • To checkout an Engineering Virtual Desktop, click the button and download the RDP file; it could take 30-40 seconds before partycasino games can login:

  • Sometimes it can take 2 or 3 minutes for access to be granted. If it does not allow partycasino games to login immediately, please wait a couple minutes and try again. partycasino games can re-use the same file for this 2nd or 3rd attempt if it is within just a few minutes and partycasino games have not yet gotten logged into the computer. We are sorry for this delay, but it's due to how Central ITS handles ADS and we have no control over this.

  • If partycasino games are on a computer supported by CECS, partycasino games might not get prompted for a username. If partycasino games are not, or if partycasino games are prompted, make sure your username is in the "domain" format of USERS\<eID, and that partycasino games use your eID username and password. If your username is not correct, click More choices for the option to enter a new username and password.

  • MAC USERS: partycasino games must be on the official Microsoft Remote Desktop app and on the latest version. partycasino games must import this .RDP file into the app and connect from there.
  • CHROMEBOOK USERS: partycasino games must be using the Chrome RDP app! .rdp files will not associate properly with the app, so partycasino games will need to open the Chrome RDP app manually and type in the information. The button above will give partycasino games the hostname to connect to; enter USERS in the "Domain" field, and your eID and eID password for the username/password.
