Optional Client Download for Virtual Desktops
If you wish to download a desktop client version of a Virtual Desktop, which can provide additional utility such as viewing Remote Services on multiple monitors, please refer to the following:
- While in the Virtual Desktop choose the gear icon on the top right to display the settings, then choose the Download the rdp file option under the Resources Launch Method Category. Then select the X button on the upper right side of the settings menu to close it.
- Select the Home button in the upper left hand corner of the screen to return to the Virtual Desktop selection menu and re-select the desktop you would like to run. A .rdp file will be downloaded which you can launch directly.
