The provision of virtual desktops always takes place in so-called pools. The provision of virtual desktop pools is based on organisational and technical characteristics.

Depending on the status (staff member or student) and organisational unit (department/administration/central institution), one or more virtual desktop pools are offered.

The following general conditions apply to all virtual desktop pools:

• Any virtual desktop from the pool is assigned when logging in.
• Individual settings of the logged-in user are automatically saved when the user logs off and restored when the user logs on again.
• The users are assigned locally to the “Users” group
• Users can use all software products provided via the start menu
