Installing the Metaframe Presentation Server Client Software to Access the Emory Healthcare Virtual Desktop (VDT)

The first time you can access the virtual desktop of the computer in your home, you'll probably see the icon in the message center. Be sure to read the message at any time you see this icon.

This time, a message that you do not wish to "View Client Server MetaFrame" installed on your computer.

Before you click on the link to install the client, make sure your system meets the minimum requirements:
  • It must have a connection to the Internet
  • It must have the Internet Explorer (IE) web browser
    • with 128-bit encryption (see note below)
    • Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab - the setting for "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" must NOT be checked.
  • It must have up-to-date antivirus software running on it
  • It should have an anti-spyware program running on it
Note: The Emory Healthcare Virtual Desktop works with Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE), Mozilla, and Firefox browsers. However, Internet Explorer is the only one that the 8-HELP Call Center supports.
Internet Explorer must have 128 bit encryption. All versions of IE released in the last several years have this, but to be sure yours does, open IE, click “Help”, then choose “About Internet Explorer” and see the cipher strength value.
If the cipher strength is not 128, you will need to upgrade Internet Explorer– it can be done remotely through Microsoft’s Windows Update site:

Note: the upgrade will take many hours if you don’t have DSL or cable modem.
