Changing Password While on Remote Desktop (click change password folder icon)

If you are prompted to change your password while out of the office, or you only connect to the office via Remote Desktop, you will quickly find that the standard method of bringing up the password change, (CTRL-ALT-DEL) will NOT work – it will only allow you to change the password on your LOCAL computer, not Remote.

  • Double-click the yellow folder icon on the desktop labeled “Change Password“.  Select “change a password” from the menu that pops up.
  • Type in your OLD password, followed by your new password and then your new password again.
  • Remember your password 🙂

  2. Start Remote Desktop Connection
  3. Type in: remote.flchild.com (or remote2.flchild.com or remote6.flchild.com) -and press “connect”

VPN Access

VPN access requires an account as well as the local firewall to be open on port 446.
The address to go to is: https://vpn.flchild.com:446

Troubleshooting Connection Issues

If you are not able to connect to REMOTE.flchild.com with BLAZE (or Remote Desktop Connection), or the VPN connection, than it is likely
that your internet connection is behind a firewall that is BLOCKING these connections.

To fix, contact the local network administrator about “opening up the following ports on the firewall”
3389 (for Remote Desktop connection)
3399 (for BLAZE)
446 (for VPN)
