Accessing Using Remote App

Find out the requirement for running RemoteApp and see how to connect.

Note:

Not all software available in My Virtual Computing Lab is accessible using Remote App. See if the software you need is available through Remote App. To use some sofware, you must use Remote Desktop instead.

Use Internet Explorer 6 or above to connect to My Virtual Computing Lab. After logging in with your UBITName and password, you'll be able to use many of the professional software titles available in UB's computing sites. Save work to your UBfs Myfiles or any connected drives, and print to any connected printer.

RemoteApp works only with Internet Explorer, not Firefox, Chrome, Safari or any other browser. It provides access to the basic programs, but not all accessory programs or help documentation.
