Updated winterm.eecs now available

October 22, 2025 by Lars Rohrbach

An updated winterm.eecs, running Windows Server 2025, is now available as a Windows Remote Desktop Server. As soon as the new DNS records propagate, your connection to winterm.eecs will find this updated OS with updated software versions.

Access and software is much like the previous winterm.eecs, though with a desktop experience that’s similar to Windows 11. See our EECS Login Servers page for more information on using winterm.eecs.

If you need to access the previous winterm.eecs (e.g. to copy files kept locally), it will remain online for the next week or two as winterm-old.eecs.berkeley.edu. Feel free to contact help@eecs if you need us to copy your profile from winterm-old to the new winterm.
