Instructions for all the newest “gateway” Servers (2012)

.…including...

• General Office Server
• SAS Server
• SPSS Server
• (and more to be added later…)

Quick Start Approach (The least you need to know to get started.)

If you received a link to this page, it’s probably because of at least one of these reasons:

If you use “the Terminal Server” in order to remote in from home (or elsewhere), you need to start using the newer one (which is ts4.dopm.uab.edu) – instead of the older one (which is ts3.dopm.uab.edu)

You’ve been given access to additional software. If you are at Medical Towers you can see and use that software by doing this: 1. Click here: https://dopm-rdgw-01.dopm-d1.dopm.uab.edu/RDWeb 2. Login in using your DOPM username and password (Domain = dopm-d1a). For example, if your DOPM username = jsmith, login as dopm-d1a\jsmith

How to use it - overview

You have 3 methods below to choose from to connect to these.
(Of course you will first have to be in the correct permissions group.)

• Method 3 is for use anywhere.  It's the "old school method" you are probably used to.
• Method 1 and Method 2 are for use at DOPM (Medical Towers) -- it should make your life easier

How to use it - details

On the domain (i.e., here at Medical Towers) here is what to do.  (It should make life easier for you.)
You can do either of these methods:
1. Method 1 = “website” --- You immediately start using it on a website (this requires no set up at all)
2. Method 2 = “start menu” --- After you do a short set up process, the programs will behave as though they are actually on your computer

Instructions for both of these are just below.
So that is the new way and is the easiest way and it should make life easier for you.
With those you’re able to leverage the Remote Application Infrastructure that’s new with 2012 (that we have in place now).

In addition to that, there is still the old way (Method 3) that you can use to remote in if you are NOT at Medical Towers.
Instructions for that are far below.  But you should use Method 1 or Method 2 when you are in Medical Towers.

Method 1 = Website only works at Medical Towers	1. Go here: https://dopm-rdgw-01.dopm-d1.dopm.uab.edu/RDWeb 2. Login in using your DOPM username and password (Domain = dopm-d1a) For example, if your DOPM username = jsmith, login as dopm-d1a\jsmith 3. And the name of the server (and/or the General Office programs you have access to) will appear as your choices. NOTE: If you are using your desktop, you can say “Private computer” so that it will keep the credentials
Not currently an option Method 2 = Start Menu only works at Medical Towers	At one point, there was a way to make remote programs/servers appear in your start menu, as though they were on your local computer. That however is not an option currently due to certificate issues. So you cannot do this Method.  However Method 1 above still works and is almost as seamless.
Method 3 = Old School “Remote In” works anywhere	The rest of the below is about Method 3 (Old School “Remote In” ) --- which is the method you will need to use if you aren’t in Medical Towers === There is no need to read any of the below unless you are using that Method ====
