Chromebooks & RDP

[RichCowell]

Good morning all!

 

I know Chromebooks have been discussed here in the past, but I know things have changed since then (or so I'm led to believe)...

 

There's a student at my school who needs to use a laptop in school, he's already got a Chromebook, so it seems logical to let him use that, linking it up with our terminal server for remote access internally and externally.

 

I've seen RDP apps that are available, but none that specifically state they work with gateways.

 

Does anyone know if any of the apps do work with Gateways, or if there's a better solution for this?

 

Thanks,

 

Rick

Hi Rick,

 

'Chrome RDP' seems to work fine for us. Allows full windows sessions, access to printers / mail etc. Basically a full Windows session. We use it to allow certain staff emergency access to SIMS, so if it can run that it should be able to run anything!

Hiya,

 

Thanks :-)

 

Just looked and it does support gateways, but done by server only, so may have to give that some thought, but I think it's gonna be the way to go...
