Remote Desktop at the UiO

Important information about Remote Desktop

The Remote Desktop service is now turned off and unavailable. The reasons include security, as well as the fact that the service is not supported for Windows 11 machines.

If you still need to use the service, it can be accessed via the UiO Programkiosk. Remote Desktop can be used from “Office Fullscreen” in the UiO Programkiosk to connect to office machines that support this. Please note that this option will also be phased out over time.

Are you used to working with Remote Desktop? Here are some tips:

  • If you still need Remote Desktop, you must use it via “Kontor Fullskjerm” in the UiO Programkiosk. Note that your office machine must support this.
  • If you need access to your files across different devices, we recommend that you start using OneDrive. Read more about OneDrive.
  • Your home area can also be used for this purpose and is generally accessible across different devices. Read more about the home area.
  • If you need software that is not available on your device, the program may be available in the UiO Programkiosk. Read more about the UiO Programkiosk.
  • If you need software that is not available in the UiO Programkiosk, UiO may be able to offer alternative software options. Read more about software at UiO.
