Welcome to the Anderson School of Management Virtual Computing Lab. The Virtual Computing Lab (VCL) is available to all Anderson students 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. The VCL works by using Microsoft’s Remote Desktop technology.
All users have a two hour time limit. Once you have successfully logged on to one of the
virtual lab machines, a timer begins counting down the time you have remaining on your session.
When you have five minutes remaining on your session, you will be given a warning to save your
work and log off. You will receive subsequent warnings to save your work and log off until your
session time has expired at which point you will be logged off automatically. It is imperative
that you SAVE YOUR WORK!! All of your work will be lost if you have not saved it before
the system begins the automatic log off procedure. We are NOT responsible for any data that is
lost. It is your responsibility to save your work.
Please do not close your remote desktop session without logging off. If you do, you are wasting
resources that others could be using. This is one reason we have implemented an idle timeout.
If you disconnect from your session or if you leave the remote system in an idle state, you will
be automatically logged out after 15 minutes. The automated logout does not save any documents
that you may have had open. Please remember to save your work and properly logout when finished
using the remote desktop system.
Time Limits
2-hour time limit per session. 1 hour 55 minutes plus a 5 minute warning.
15 minute idle time limit. 10 minutes plus a 5 minute warning.
To use Remote Desktop, your machine must have the MSTSC.exe program installed. If you are running
Windows XP Home or XP Professional, your PC should already be configured correctly. Otherwise,
click HERE for instructions on downloading MSTSC.exe.
When you click on one of the icons below, your system will download a Remote Desktop Profile, or RDP
file. By opening the RDP file you will be connected to one of the virtual lab machines.
Click HERE to view directions for opening the RDP file and logging in to one
of the virtual lab machines.
Business Plan Pro is available only on VLAB computers 1 - 30 only.
The following links are provided for you to be able to use the virtual lab from a variety of operating system environments. Click on the link that corresponds to your computer's operating system and you will be presented with instructions on the download and installation of the appropriate remote desktop software.
