Description
Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) is a remote working solution from Microsoft which can be used by University Staff to assist them when working remotely. It provides access to a cloud computer connected to the University network from which staff can:
WVD can be accessed via a web browser which is useful for simple activities when away from a University machine, but it is recommended staff download the full desktop client to their device as this version is faster and more stable than the browser version.
Due to resourcing restrictions, the solution should be used as a personal machine to work from. This means that staff should not open their mailbox via Outlook within WVD nor save their files to it.
Access to WVD is not granted to staff by default but they can request it from the IT Service Desk.
