Virtual Computer Lab using AppStream 2.0 (PC,  MAC and iPad)

In order to provide access to software that is typically only available in the campus computer labs, Radford University has established a scalable Virtual Computer Lab using AWS AppStream 2.0.  This environment will scale up or down depending on demand.  

PLEASE READ:   Files saved to the Desktop or Temporary Files are automatically deleted after your sessions ends.  To save files or access existing files, you must map your OneDrive account the first time you connect using steps 4 & 5 below.

Faculty members needing additional software installed should submit a support request to www.radford.edu/ITOneStop so licenses and technical details can be reviewed.

Google is the recommended browser.

1. Go to the AppStream Standard or AppStream Advance and click on the app you wish to access. Links are active in above table headings.

 2. The virtual session will take approximately 2 minutes to start.

3. The upper left of the AppStream screen will always show the following toolbar.

4. Setup OneDrive for saving files. Click the My Files icon, click Add Storage, then click OneDrive.

 5. Click @radford.edu, and click Accept to allow connection. 

NOTE: Wait for OneDrive to show up above Temporary Files location.  Be sure to save files in your OneDrive folder.  Do not store files on the Desktop or Temporary Files folder, these may be accessible to others and will be deleted when your session ends.

Once mapped, you'll have access to your entire OneDrive account and may create folders for classes, projects, etc.
