Important You must use Microsoft Internet Explorer to access the nTier700 Windows desktop through the BlueScale web interface. The Windows Remote Desktop application

does not support the Firefox browser.

Internet Explorer may prompt you to install an ActiveX control the first time that you use this feature. ActiveX is required in order to access the Windows desktop through the BlueScale web interface.
