Azure Virtual Desktop to access Faculty and User drives for DET staff
Posted: 23 Aug 2021, 09:30
Some of you may already be using this but for those that haven't heard about it , it is a "virtual Desktop " that allows yo to access all the Faculty and staff drives from home for DET staff .Perfect for this lockdown where we are expected to work from home .
Our Chemical registers and SDS copies were/are stored on the Faculty drives so it means I can rebuild this from home .
I am not sure if it will work on a personal device but certainly ones that have the DET windows 10 image will work .You can install it at work or at home .

you will need to have mobile phone reception to receive security pin during installation and occasionally to identify you when using it .
It works well , I used it for several days last week while rebuilding our lost Chemical register on Excel where I was able to retrieve earlier copies I found on my "U-drive" and save them to the "T-drive" .I had one or too quirky things happen with it but overall , it is a blessing .
It will time out , so if you go for a break , you need to sign back in and it leaves off where you last were .
It also has "teams" on it which is handy as it was not on my PC.
Incidentally , I took my work PC home as I also had a lot of work in progress on it .
