Remote Working

If you need to work from home and are in need of the files you have stored on the Dene Magna Network, for example, Shared Drive / Z:Drive, you will not be able to access them from home unless you are remoting onto the Dene Magna Network. If you are planning on doing so, please let the ICT team know in advance so we can make sure your account is all ready for you to use the remote service.

Setting up for Remote working

In order to work remotely from home, you need to be able to remote into the Dene Magna local network, this is made possible by using microsofts own "Remote Desktop" application, this can be found on the "Microsoft Store"

The Remote Desktop app icon looks like this:

Once downloaded and installed, the main page will look like this;

You will need to add a Remote PC, to do this, click "+ Add", then you will get a drop down list, select "PC" and this will appear

For the PC Name, you will need to input exactly "goaccess.denemagna.org.uk", this is the path for the remote services

Under User Account, click the "+" button and input your username (example j.smith), and click "save"

Then click "Save" again. That will have saved under "Saved PC's" on the main screen.

You can then click on the "saved PC" on the main screen and it will get you to put in your password and give you a remote session where you can access drives like shared, or z: drive
