Daily use of your MultiPoint Server system
As you begin to use MultiPoint Server on a daily basis, there is information about using MultiPoint
Server that you might want to share with the users on your MultiPoint Server system. This information
includes the following:
Sharing content and keeping content private:
A user can save a file or document to a private folder that can be viewed only by that user.
Users can also save documents to a public folder that is accessible to all users on the MultiPoint
Server system.
It is important for MultiPoint Server users to know that administrative users have access to all files
and documents on the system, even if they are stored privately in a user’s personal folder.
Information about a user’s MultiPoint Server session:
Each user has a user name and password, and a unique desktop session on the MultiPoint Server
system.
A standard user is not an administrative user on the MultiPoint Server system. Standard users
cannot install software, but can save files and change desktop settings, except for the screen
resolution. Any desktop changes the user makes are present when the user logs on again.
Users can disconnect from one station and log back on to their session on a different station
without losing their work. For more information, see the Disconnect a User Session For Later Use
topic.
A standard user’s session (or all user sessions) can be disconnected or logged off by the
administrative user through MultiPoint Manager. For more information, see the Manage Desktops
topic.
If a user forgets a password, you can reset the password from the
Users
tab, which uses standard
Windows user account management functionality. For more information, see the Update or Delete
User Accounts topic.
