Azure-​RemoteApp: Configure new users

When you add a new user to your Azure-RemoteApp collection, complete these tasks.

Step 1. Install Azure-RemoteApp desktop client

​https://www.remoteapp.windowsazure.com/en/clients.aspx
​Tip: ​Ensure the Azure-RemoteApp client is easily found on the user's Start menu / Desktop / Taskbar.

Step 2. Open Azure-RemoteApp and launch CMD

When a user logs in for the first time it may take a minute to create the new user environment on the session host. 
Open CMD first.

Notes:

Users can customize window sizing, and Gallery / To-Do List / Contacts column options. These settings are persisted.
To reduce billable usage hours, instruct users to close SalesPartner ​when the application will not be used for an extended period of time.

Rezy.ini file location

The user's Rezy.ini file is saved into their UPD - see: ​https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/remoteapp-upd/
