Status includes: ● Who is connected ● Who is not connected ● Which stations are being used and by whom Different ways to log standard users off of the system As an administrative user, you can log off Windows at any time, which will have no effect on active users in your MultiPoint Server system. Standard users can log off the MultiPoint Server system too. If a user is leaving for the day, the user should save their work on the computer or external storage device so that when you shut down the MultiPoint Server system at the end of the day, the user can retrieve his or her saved work another day. As an administrative user, you might need to end a standard user's session for them, rather than the user logging off. You can end a standard user's session in one of two ways: ● End the session and log the user off. ● Disconnect the user to temporarily end the user's session, but keep the session active in the MultiPoint Server system's computer memory. The disconnected user can then reconnect to the suspended session from the same station or a different station and continue their work. 143

Managing Desktops
This section discusses managing the desktops that make up the MultiPoint Server system. Managing a
MultiPoint Server system includes both managing the hardware and software components of MultiPoint
Manager, and managing more general issues such as network or Internet connectivity.
Different types of desktops
In a MultiPoint Server system, a desktop is the software user interface presented on the monitor for each
user station. You manage two types of desktops:
The desktop of the actual computer on which MultiPoint Manager is installed; you do so as an
administrative user
The station desktops that your users see as standard users
Desktop status
You can view the following types of status for each desktop on the Desktops tab. Status includes:
Who is connected
Who is not connected
Which stations are being used and by whom
Different ways to log standard users off of the system
As an administrative user, you can log off Windows at any time, which will have no effect on active
users in your MultiPoint Server system. Standard users can log off the MultiPoint Server system too. If a
user is leaving for the day, the user should save their work on the computer or external storage device
so that when you shut down the MultiPoint Server system at the end of the day, the user can retrieve his
or her saved work another day.
As an administrative user, you might need to end a standard user’s session for them, rather than the
user logging off. You can end a standard user’s session in one of two ways:
End the session and log the user off.
Disconnect the user to temporarily end the user’s session, but keep the session active in the
MultiPoint Server system’s computer memory. The disconnected user can then reconnect to the
suspended session from the same station or a different station and continue their work.
