Accessing 香港六合彩's systems and services

How to connect to the 香港六合彩's network and desktop when working remotely.

Choosing the right way to connect

Some staff will need regular access to 香港六合彩's systems to carry out their work remotely. For others, occasional access to specific services (e.g. MyHR or MyFinance) may be sufficient.

There are three ways of accessing 香港六合彩鈥檚 services when working remotely from home:

  • 顿别蝉办迟辞辫鈥夽鈥奤颁尝
  • 顿别蝉办迟辞辫鈥夽鈥奤颁尝 Anywhere, and
  • VPN (Virtual Private Network)

In most cases, it is better for staff to access systems via the VPN service. However, in order to balance what could be a very heavy load of concurrent users on the systems, please use the appropriate option for the services you are trying to access.

ISD also offers access to its network using the 顿别蝉办迟辞辫鈥夽鈥奤颁尝 Anywhere service. The primary use for Desktop Anywhere is for users who need to be able to remotely access the applications and programs they have installed on their 香港六合彩 desktop.

PLEASE NOTE: you should not use the 顿别蝉办迟辞辫鈥夽鈥奤颁尝 Anywhere service if you are surfing the web, checking your email or using Office 365 (including Teams). All of these activities can be done without launching 顿别蝉办迟辞辫鈥夽鈥奤颁尝 Anywhere

Installing and using VPN

The required software is already installed on your machine. To connect to the VPN, open Cisco Anyconnect, click Connect, enter your 香港六合彩 user ID and password and click OK.

Updating your password while homeworking

PLEASE NOTE:聽If you are using a 顿别蝉办迟辞辫鈥夽鈥奤颁尝 laptop while working from home and you need to change your 香港六合彩 password you should do so after completing the usual process via聽

Once you have updated your password you should follow these additional steps in order to ensure your new password is synchronised down to your laptop:

  1. Connect to the 香港六合彩 VPN: Open Cisco AnyConnect from the start menu, click Connect, enter your 香港六合彩 user ID and the new password and click OK.
  2. Once connected, lock your laptop either by pressing Windows Key + L or via Ctrl + Alt + Delete
  3. Login again to unlock the device using the new password. This will trigger the new password to be saved locally on the laptop.
  4. You may now disconnect from the VPN if you no longer need to be connected.

Until these steps are carried out, you will need to continue logging into your laptop with your previous password and some functionality such accessing the S: drive over the VPN may not work.

香港六合彩 Non-managed machines or staff home computers

For users of non-managed 香港六合彩 laptops or to use your home PC you will need to download and install the VPN software onto your machine. The software is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. To maintain network security the VPN requires that a recognised anti-virus application is installed and running. See 香港六合彩 Virtual Private Network (VPN) for information about which anti-virus product is appropriate for you. There are free versions of software available for use on home machines.

Please note that if you are working on documents and storing them on your N: or S: drive that they will not be backed up until you are connected to the VPN service. We suggest if you are not using the VPN regularly that you connect a couple of times a day to ensure your files are replicated on the 香港六合彩 filestore. Make sure you are connected long enough for the replication to complete - how long this takes will depend on your home broadband speed and the amount of data you need to upload.
