My Virtual Computing Lab makes the most of available bandwidth and the processing power of the remote machines by focusing on software that is not already freely available for your computer.

You can use My Virtual Computing Lab off-campus, on campus and in residence halls or campus apartments.

This can happen when you are using a browser other than Microsoft Internet Explorer when you click the link (IE automatically launches the correct program).

You can print to a printer at a public computing site or to your own printer.

Making your Internet connection with the AnyConnect virtual private network (VPN) client protects your UBITName and password, and any of the information you are sending or receiving as you work with My Virtual Computing Lab. On-campus connections to My Virtual Computing Lab through the UB Secure Wi-Fi network or the wired ResNet and OpenPort networks are already secure, so using a VPN is unnecessary.

You might be unable to connect to My Virtual Computing Lab if you do not have a secure connection, you have configured the Remote App or Remote Desktop incorrectly, or have entered incorrect information for your UBITName account.

Suggestions for additional software in My Virtual Computing Lab are always welcome. Send an email to the CIT Help Desk with the name of the software. If you can, add a few words about how the software would benefit your classes, projects or activities.

Yes, but you must first create an Esri Global account.

Because you are connected to a virtual machine, the locations of your S: drive and local drives will appear different. Detailed instructions for saving and opening files are available on the My Virtual Computing Lab Web pages.

If you were working in the Windows RemoteApp view, only the latest saved version of your work will be available, just as if you were working on a file normally. If you were working with any other (remote desktop) connection methods, your work can be recovered. Reconnect to My Virtual Computing Lab immediately, and your work will still be there.
