+ | === RDP client from Microsoft === | ||
+ | |||
+ | For Windows, **Remote Desktop Connection** from Microsoft can be used. After **Remote Desktop Connection** has been started, a new profile should be created. To do this, first click on "Show options" | ||

+ | === PowerShell + RDP Client === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Current installations of Windows 10 and 11 have a built-in SSH client. We can use this to create an SSH tunnel to the network and then connect to the OMS via the RDP client. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Log in to the University VPN | ||
+ | - Open **PowerShell** from the Windows Start menu | ||
+ | - Type or copy the following command into **PowerShell** and use it to create the SSH tunnel: < | ||
+ | - Launch the RDP client from the Windows Start menu and enter // | ||
