Welcome to SSC After Hours.
This is a new service that we have begun testing to
allow our users remote desktop access to the SSC lab machines running
Windows XP during the hours while we are normally closed. We encourage
you to try this out and give us your feedback. Please remember,
however, that we are probably at home while you are using this and we
can NOT offer any immediate assistance with problems you may have.
Please send your comments, suggestions and questions to remote@ssc.ucla.edu.
What is SSC After Hours?:
Three Social Sciences Computing labs are available for
Remote Desktop. If you are unfamiliar with Remote Desktop, there is a FAQ available.
2035B, 2035H, 2400A
The computers in 2035B, 2035H, and 2400A are available between the
hours of 9:30 pm and 7:00 am Monday thru Friday and Fridays, 5:30pm to
Monday mornings, 7am.
Bunche A258
The hours for Bunche A258 vary by class scheduling. Please check the
class schedule
for Bunche A258 for AfterHours availability. AfterHours are available
when class is NOT in session. The machines are set to reboot every
Monday morning at 7am.
Please be aware, that these hours are subject to
change without notification. All software normally available in our
labs is available to you remotely. You will also be able to access your
data available on the lab servers. We are still working on printing.
