If you do not have the VMWare Horizon client installed, you can still connect to your virtual machine while remote. Here's how to do it. IT recommends using an incognito/Private Google Chrome for the browser window.
First, navigate to https://mydesktop.nyserda.ny.gov
...
Enter in your NYSERDA login name (not your email address) and the 6 digit passcode from your SecureAuth Authenticate app
Click Login.
Now, enter in your NYSERDA login password
Click Login
You'll then connect to the Virtual Machine pool selection screen. If you normally have a VM, select that. If you don't pick "NYSERDA Visitors and Conference Rooms"
