In COMM335 at UBC, students were required to use the faculty-managed Windows VM’s Microsoft Access (DBMS GUI tool). Unfortunately, they didn’t have a setup guide for Linux as of 2019, and I had some trouble allowing the remote Windows VM to access local directories on my Ubuntu 16.04. (Picture taken from the faculty’s guide for Mac) This short guide walks through how to set it up in case future students run into the same issue.
