Remote Desktop Access

adminKnowledge Base

Remote Desktop is available to all Diligex Managed computers.  It allows you to remote into your work computer from a remote web browser.  It’s a convenient method to access your data and core applications from a remote location.  Please note however, this should not be relied on as a 100% uptime, day-to-day remote access solution.  It is provided as a convenient tool for occasional remote access to your computer.

Although streaming media, audio, video from your work computer will pass through to your local computer over the remote connection, the performance may be sub-optimal.  We recommend that you conduct video calls, do streaming, play music, etc. through your local computer.

The following are not supported:

  • Printing from your work computer to a local printer
  • Scanning from a local scanner to your work computer
  • Webcams from your local computer to your work computer

Remote Desktop Prerequisites

We recommend using Firefox, Chrome or Safari to initiate remote access.  Internet Explorer is not supported

Pop-up blockers must allow the site: diligex.hostedrmm.com

Your employer needs to approve the setup of remote access.  If you never received an invite with a remote access confirmation code from Diligex, then you likely do not have remote desktop access setup and need to request it from your employer.

Remote Desktop Instructions

Go to http://diligex.com

Click the Login link from the top Navigation Bar

Click Managed IT – Remote Desktop

Login with your email address and password that you set during the initial remote desktop invite.  Note: the username/email is case sensitive – please check the original invite email for the exact email address that was specified.

After you successfully authenticate, a one-time password field will appear.

Refer to your email to find this code.  The email will come from Diligex NOC (noc@diligex.com).  Please check you Junk/SPAM folder if you cannot find it.

If you forgot your password or are having trouble logging in, please open a case here or email help@diligex.com.
