  2. Click the option to Download and Install the EMS Desktop Client

    1. You may be prompted to download and save two files (EMSApplication.exe and emswebdeployconfiguration.cfg)

  3. After the download completes, go to your downloads folder and double click on EMSApplication

  4. If you are prompted for an EMS Web Deploy configuration URL, enter https://ems.geneseo.edu/emsdesktopWebdeploy/ then click OK

Accessing EMS

Desktop without Installing

If you cannot install the EMS desktop client on your computer, you can access a virtualized version of the application provided by CIT using the following steps:

  1. Using a web browser, go to: https://windows365.microsoft.com/ent#/apps

  2. Log in with your Geneseo email and password, and complete the MFA prompt if required

  3. Click on EMS in the list of apps

  4. If prompted for “In Session Settings”, leave the defaults checked and click Connect

  5. The virtual session will begin to load

    1. This may take some time if a virtual machine needs to start up to serve the app and if this is your first time logging in or you have not logged in for a long time

  6. Once the session loads, you will be presented with the EMS login window, enter your EMS User ID and Password to use the application

Info

If you don’t see EMS in the list of apps, contact the CIT HelpDesk to have access enabled for your account by submitting a request.

Note

The virtual session will disconnect after 15 minutes of inactivity.
