Overview

Azure Cloud PC is  our Windows virtual desktop environment and can be accessed from any device anywhere, on or off of our network. They can be used for several use cases, including:

  • A quick replacement machine for end-users when their primary device fails or is in need of repair (they can connect to it from a personal device or mobile phone/tablet)
  • A primary device for short-term contractors, or users who simply need to access email and use cloud-based applications to do their jobs
  • A great solution for the users where we don't support sending physical machines

Logging in First time:

  • You can use Cloud PC on Mac OS / Windows laptop and on mobile devices. It's best adviced to use Cloud PC on a laptop for the best resolution and efficiency. 
  • Navigate here: https://windows365.microsoft.com and log in with your Nintex account.
  • You will be prompted for Duo Multi-factor authentication which requires initial setup using a mobile phone and the set up instructions  can be found here.
  • You can either open your cloud PC in a browser or I recommend downloading the Remote Desktop App  for the specific bas OS you're using.

  • This will take a while to finish loading all of the applications, might even need a reboot at some stage.

Pre and Post Installation of  Applications:

  • Once you're logged in after following the steps listed above, you'll find preinstalled apps like slack, Teams, chrome, Adobe acrobat reader and all office applications.
