deskMate Cloud Desktops can work with Microsoft Active Directory, but AD is not mandatory. Outside of MS AD, it may be desired that a desktop logs on with a specific user immediately after restarting.

Dafür muss in der Windows Registry folgendes geändert werden:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Character string "DefaultUserName" -> User name
Character string "DefaultPassword" -> Password (If password is empty, simply leave it empty. However, the entry is necessary.)
String "AutoAdminLogon" -> 1

Here is an exemplary entry.

Yes. You can upgrade to a higher-quality desktop version at any time in the admin portal without reinstalling. After the next login, the features of the selected version will be available to you.

Depending on the Windows configuration, the system time may be inaccurate. In this case, the Windows timer should be changed.

In Windows XP/2003

Add /usepmtimer to the boot parameters in boot.ini. e.x.

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=“Microsoft Windows XP Professional“ /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer

In Windows 2008/2008 R2/Vista/7

Use the bcdedit command to change the timer (you need a Windows console with administration rights)

bcdedit /set {default} USEPLATFORMCLOCK on

There are two different desktop views when using the deskMate Window Client:

1. Window Mode
2. Fullscreen Mode

By default, the deskMate Windows Client opens the Window Mode view. If you have ticked the "fullscreen" checkbox before opening, the client opens in fullscreen mode.

Within a session, you can switch from one mode to the other by leaving your mouse in the upper area of the deskMate window for approx. 5 seconds. A switching window appears and you can select the desired mode.

By default, the desktop connection is started in window mode.

This mode can be switched by moving the mouse to the top of the deskMate window and holding it there for a few seconds. A bar then appears with the corresponding options:

If you are using the Software Client under MacOS, you can achieve the same result by clicking on the green Maximize button.

Ja das geht und ist sehr einfach möglich. As an admin of your deskMate environment, go to the Administration/Desktopsarea. Here you select the desired desktop and after opening the Advanced dropdown you can create a template of this desktop in the Backup & Restore area which can also be made available by other desktops in your environment.

The download option is deactivated by default in IE. Die muss man einmalig aktivieren. This is very quick and easy.

In IE, please go to Settings (gear symbol) at the top right of the browser window and then select Internet Options.

In the "Security" tab, click the "Customize level......" button in the "Internet" zone

Scroll down to Downloads and select "Activate" under File download.

Please confirm the security notice and window with "OK".

Unlike its competitors, DeskMate provides a virtual x86 PC hardware on which all x86 operating systems and applications run. This includes legacy operating systems such as Windows XP, Windows 3.11 or even OS/2 and BSD.

Unlike other providers, deskMate does not provide you with a hardened environment, but offers you a virtual x86 PC with boot process as you know it from your physical PC/notebook. You can forward local CD/DVD/ISO images and thus install any x86 operating system yourself.

Users of the virtual desktop environment can install any software themselves without restrictions - provided that the administrator approves the user authorization. New software components are installed either via the local forwarded CD/DVD drive, an uploaded image file or by connecting existing network drives. It is even possible to upload software ISO images to a software repository and carry out installations directly from this.

If you already use a software distribution program, this can also be used to install programs on deskMate desktops.

With deskMate WebClient it is very easy to share your desktop with other users, for example to show the desktop or applications, or to work together on the desktop on an equal footing.
As with the WebClient, only an HTML5 browser is required. Software or plug-ins do not need to be installed.

deskMate knows two modes for desktop sharing

• View only: Read-only rights for invited users
• Full control: Volle Rechte parallel zum User des Desktops

To allow desktop sharing and invite users, simply click on the "Share" button in the deskMate task bar of the WebClient.

The "Share desktop" window now appears.
The corresponding share link can now be copied and distributed via chats, for example, or sent by email.
Please note: The function only becomes active when you confirm the blue "Share desktop" button. Ist die Funktion aktiv ist der „Share“ Button der deskMate task bar grün hinterlegt. The number of additional participants currently connected is also shown.

After opening the link, the invitee must enter his or her name and e-mail address.

By clicking the "Share" button of the deskMate task bar, the sharing user can see which people are currently looking at his desktop or can work with it.

Click "Stop sharing" to delete the function and disconnect any connected participants. The sharing links lose their validity and are regenerated when they are shared again.
