From another computer at UT, click the Start menu and then type 'remote'. Open Microsoft Remote Desktop. It may be helpful to right click this and choose Pin To Taskbar for easy access in the future. If you are at home, connect to the VPN with Anyconnect before opening Microsoft Remote Desktop. If you are on a Mac, the Microsoft Remote Desktop app can be downloaded from the Mac App Store.

Type in the name of your desktop computer. Most computers have a sticker on them, or you can click the Start button and type 'See the name of this computer.' Enter in your UT username and password. Consider clicking the Remember Me checkbox to make this process faster in the future.

You will then see your office computer desktop. You can leave CPS/Centricity open on this desktop so you do not need to log in and log out each time you move to a new computer.

Step 1

Download the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client here.

Most users will select the AnyConnect Pre-deployment Package for Windows option. The images in this article are for AnyConnect v4.10.x, which was latest version at the time of writing this document.

If you purchased a license and you are unable to download AnyConnect, call +1 919-993-2724. Select option 2. You will need to know your Cisco ID (the one you use to log into Cisco.com) and the sales order number when you call. They will get that situation all straightened out.

Step 2

Navigate Windows File Explorer to the installer file. Double-click Setup.exe to initiate the installation process.

Check your Downloads folder to locate the AnyConnect files. Browser based downloads are often deposited into the downloads folder on your device on windows. The path to the file often resembles C:Users[Your User ID]Downloads with the C:/ referring to your devices storage drive.

Step 3

A pop-up window may ask for permissions, in this case, select Yes. If your pop-up asks if you are sure you want to run this software, select Run.

Step 4

Check the check boxes for the modules that you need to install.

Core & VPN - Includes AnyConnect core client with VPN capability.
Start Before Login - User sees the AnyConnect GUI logon dialog before the Windows logon dialog box appears.
