No matter where you are. No matter which machine you're working from. Remote.dtu.dk allows you to work with access to your usual network drive. You no longer use VPN software to secure the network traffic. You do not have to leave your work PC turned on at DTU. Remote.dtu.dk allows you to use Microsoft Word from the Mac / Linux / iPad / Windows.

Connecting to remote.dtu.dk from Windows

  1. Go to https://remote.dtu.dk and login with your DTU credentials.
  2. Click "Detect Receiver"
  3. Agree to the license agreement (tick the box) and click "Download"
  4. Install the "Citrix Receiver" software
  5. Optional: If you login with yout DTU credentials on your computer, you can tick the "Enable single sign-on" box. This will allow you to use the Citrix applications without signing in, as it will re-use the login from your computer.
  6. After installation click "Add account" in the popup-windows and insert: remote.dtu.dk. Tick "Do not show this window automatically at logon" - then click "Add"
  7. In the next popup-windows insert your DTU credentials (XXXXX) like this "XXXXX@win.dtu.dk" and your password

Click on the plus-sign to the left, to see all available applications. Clicking on an application in the list will put a mark on it, and pin it to the front-page. Then you can run it from there.

Notice that you can also get access to a full desktop, where all the applications are available too. Either choose "DTU Office 2010 IE11 Desktop" or "DTU Office 2016 IE11 Desktop" from the list.

If you have any mounted network-drives on your Windows computer, these will be available inside Citrix applications/desktop.
