SoCS Windows Servers
Connecting from off Campus
If you wish to connect to the SoCS Windows Servers from off campus, you must first set up the UoG VPN. Instructions to do so can be found here.
Connecting to Windows
The SoCS Windows servers are available via Remote Desktop. Remote Desktop is installed in the Thronbrough 2420 MacLab. It is installed by default on Windows, and is available through the App Store on OS X.
To Connect:
- Open the Remote Desktop Connection application
- Enter “windows.socs.uoguelph.ca” in the “Computer” field.

- If you receive a message “The server name on the certificate is incorrect”, ignore this and choose “Connect”.
- You will then be asked to enter your credentials:
- Username: Enter your SoCS Username
- Password: Enter your SoCS Password
- Domain: Enter “SOCS”

- You should now be connected to the SoCS Windows Servers
