Provisioning rw

The following section outlines how to provision a remote workstation using the Admin Console.

For information on which Provider Service Accounts can perform certain features, please consult the Service Account Requirements section.

You must have a valid Provider Service Account to enable this feature. The following steps outline how to provision a remote workstation:

1. Click Workstations from the Admin Console sidebar.
2. Click Create new remote workstation from the add remote workstation icon.
3. Select an existing Connector from the dropdown menu.
4. Select a provisioning template from the dropdown menu and give your remote workstation a machine name. You can also choose whether you want to enable an automatic restart of the workstation. Compute engine can automatically restart remote workstation instances if they are terminated for non- user intitiated reasons, such as maintenance events, hardware failures, software failures, etc.

5. Enter the remote workstations network, region and disk properties. An example of what this information may look like is shown below:

   Public IP or Cloud NAT Requirement

   Provisioning will fail unless the machine has a public IP or Cloud NAT.

   Remote Workstation Machine Name

   Due to NetBIOS and a Windows limitation, the remote workstations machine name must be 15 characters or less. Failure to do this may result in issues with your remote workstation connection.

6. Enter the Active Directory information for the remote workstation. The service account must have permission to join computers to the domain.

7. Once you have entered all required information, click CREATE.

The remote workstation will now appear in the table of available machines on the Workstations page.
