For clients to be able to connect to VirtualCHC's
Terminal Servers the Remote Desktop Client (RDC) needs to be installed
on the client machine. Once installed a connection profile should
be created and saved to the desktop.
Remote Desktop Connection
The Remote Desktop Client allows you to access
VirtualCHC from any computer that has access to the Internet***.
Note that version 5.1 of the Remote Desktop Connection is already
installed by default on any computer running Windows XP and can
be found on the Start Menu under Programs | Accessories | Communications.
While 5.1 will work for basic connectivity more advanced features
such as printer and drive mapping may not work correctly. To begin
the installation process click the link below and then select either
'Open' or 'Run from Current Location' in the dialog box that appears.

and organization, select the radio button next to 'Anyone who uses
this computer,' then hit Next.
On the Ready to Install screen, click Install
Once the installation process has completed, hit Finish.
