Overview

The UMD Virtual Workspace provides access to several Active Directory management tools for campus OU administrators.

These are displayed as individual applications in the UMD Virtual Workspace when using the Remote Desktop Client app. 

If you are using the new Windows App, please select the Apps section on the left side to view the applications available.

 

Prerequisites

These tools are restricted to campus OU administrators. If you haven't already done so, please request access to your department's OU via the OU Administrator Access form. 

Directions for connecting to the UMD Virtual Workspace.

NOTE: When initially connecting to the Remote Desktop client, you must use your DirectoryID@umd.edu and directory password.

Running the AD Tools
