This article will guide a user through the process of connecting to a CSU Intune managed device from their personally owned computer using the Remote Desktop Connection app.
If you are connecting from off campus, you must first connect to the CSU VPN (https://cnsit.colostate.edu/kb/globalprotect-vpn). You must also know the computer’s name which is usually shown on a white label attached to the computer itself.
When you launch the Remote Desktop Connection app, you will format the “Computer” field with the computer name followed by “.intune.colostate.edu”, as shown. You will then click on the “Show Options” button in the bottom left.
From here you will click on the “Advanced” tab as shown and check the box for “Use a web account to sign in to the remote computer”. You can now click on the “Connect” button.
The authentication process will guide you through the familiar M365 authentication steps which also include the DUO second factor check. From here, you should now be connected. Enjoy!
