Two new features are currently being distributed to Managed Desktop workstations which will improve the experience of staff and students using computers at SHU for 2016/17.
Application Jukebox allows you to use a piece of software without the application being installed on the PC. This will enable PCs to run faster, log in more quickly and give users access to a greater range of software across the University.
The Managed Desktop Assistance Centre (MDAC) has been designed to support you with the use of the Managed Desktop. It makes finding information about your workstation or user code easy, provides links to Managed Desktop information and helps you submit IT Help requests or feedback.
This tool is currently being developed within IS&T and new features are being added frequently. It can be found on the SHU Managed Desktop menu under ‘All Programs’ or by searching for ‘MD Assistance Centre’ in the search bar.
To find out more about these features, read our IS&T blog post.
