Installing apps

When you sign in to the Right Networks My Account portal , if you have the User (catalog) role you'll be taken directly to the Applications tab. Users with the role of Account Admin will need to go to the Users tab, and then select the name, or email address, for the desired user to get to that user's Applications tab.

On the Applications tab, click Install App for all desired programs. Other apps are available to install on the Manual Install Apps tab.

Once the apps have been installed, they'll appear in the Installed section.

Accessing the hosted environment

Open the Right Networks remote desktop using the Right Networks.rdp shortcut.

This app has been blocked by your system administrator

If you were logged in to your hosted environment at the time the app was being installed, you'll receive an error when you open the app:

"This app has been blocked by your system administrator. Contact your system administrator for more info."

You'll need to log off appropriately.

Double-click the red Logoff button to sign out of the hosted environment. The Logoff button gets automatically added to your hosted desktop by the end of the first day.

If you are missing this icon, right-click on the Start/Windows icon, select Shut down or sign out, and choose Sign out.

Printing and scanning

When printing you need to use one of the TSPrint options as go-betweens to communicate with your local printer(s) and scanner(s). See How to print and scan in Intuit Hosting for more information.

How to copy, paste, etc.

Right-clicking to get to Windows menus in File Explorer and on the desktop has been turned off in the hosted environment for security reasons.

File Explorer’s Home tab has helpful shortcuts for Copy, Paste, Cut, Delete, Rename, New folder, and more. The New item dropdown on this tab lets you create different types of files including a text document.
