Installation Steps
These steps are for Windows only. If you need to use the EMS desktop client from a different operating system (such as macOS), please the Accessing EMS Desktop without Installing section below.
Using a web browser like Firefox, Chrome or Edge go to https://ems.geneseo.edu/emsDesktopWebDeploy/
Click the option to Download and Install the EMS Desktop Client
You may be prompted to download and save two files (EMSApplication.exe and emswebdeployconfiguration.cfg)
After the download completes, go to your downloads folder and double click on EMSApplication
If you are prompted for an EMS Web Deploy configuration URL, enter https://ems.geneseo.edu/emsdesktopWebdeploy/ then click OK
Otherwise the application should automatically begin to install
When the install completes, you should now be presented with the EMS login window, enter your EMS User ID and Password to use the application.
Andrea Klein creates the EMS accounts. The EMS Desktop client is not a single sign-on application.
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:
Using a web browser, go to: Windows App
Log in with your Geneseo email and password, and complete the MFA prompt if required
Click on EMS in the list of apps
If prompted for “In Session Settings”, leave the defaults checked and click Connect
The virtual session will begin to load
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
Once the session loads, you will be presented with the EMS login window, enter your EMS User ID and Password to use the application
