If you are interested in using the full version of Outlook instead of Web Outlook from home or off-campus, you can connect to the college’s Remote Server (Terminal Server) and use any of the Microsoft Office programs available there, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and Outlook.

Additionally, while connected to the remote server, you can map your network drives just as if you were sitting at your office desktop computer.

To connect to the remote server:

1. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Communications and open Remote Desktop Connection.

2. In the Computer: field, type nvcc-remote3.nvcc.edu and click Connect.

3. Depending on the version of Windows XP you are using (either XP Home Edition or XP Professional) you might see an OK button to click, or you might see this illustration:

If you see the OK button, click it and then log in like you normally do at work; make sure that the Log On To: field says NVCC.

4. If you get the dialog box above, then type in: NVCC\your username. This will be the same username one that you use on your computer at work. Enter your normal password and click OK.

5. Once you are signed into the Terminal Server (nvcc-remote-3), you will find Microsoft Office programs under Start > All Programs > Microsoft Office.

6. To configure Outlook to connect to your Inbox, follow these steps:

• Click Start, right-click E-Mail, and then click Properties.
• Select the Always use this profile radio button, and then Click Add.
• Under Create New Profile, type in your first name, then click OK.
• Click Next on the E-Mail Accounts Wizard.
• Select Microsoft Exchange Server and click Next.
• At Microsoft Exchange Server: type in NVCC-MAIL01; in the User name field type in your username (the same as you always use to log in with at work) and then click Check Name.
• When your name is underscored, click Next, click Finish and then click OK.

You are now ready to use the full version of Outlook from the college’s remote server.

Refer to the section on Mapping a Network Drive to learn how to map to the G: and H: drives once you are connected to the Terminal Server.
