Allowing our Academy remote access to on site SIMS

[TomHD]

Morning All,

 

I have been asked to allow remote SIMS access to our academy's head office. What are my options?

 

Running on site SIMS, Server 2008R2. Can spend a small bit of money for the right technology.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you guys

 

Thanks, TomHD

Secure RDS to a SIMS workstation?

Great, I had thought that was the best option. Is it hard to set up?

This really depends on what you already have in place and what level of access you have on your network/firewall to configure/change things. Have a look at this article. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/desktop-hosting-reference-architecture

My academy has got back to me and all they want is 1 remote connection to a PC running SIMS, for ease and time to get working, I was thinking a Google Chrome Remote Session would suffice? Any recommendations against this?

In that case setup a Pc somewhere in your building that is always on and load with Sims and TeamViewer.

Then use TeamViewer to access that machine.

You'll need to purchase a licence for TeamViewer, though.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards Chrome's remote capabilities as its free.
