Remote Access - DOM Desktop

The DOM Desktop is available to all users. This is a generic desktop that provides access to the most commonly used systems/services, including the I drive.

Please be aware of the following:

  • Do not save any data locally. Always use Teams, OneDrive, or the I Drive.
  • File transfer outside of the DOM Desktop is not available for security reasons.
  • Network Printers are available but local desktop printing is not.
