Digital Sign Content Management

Overview

The iSchool has installed Content Manager Desktop on a server running Terminal Services so many users can access it.

I suggest that you prepare your content files using your own computer and place the files in shared folders for your department's digital sign. Those files live at

\\shared.ad.syr.edu\drive\AS\DigitalSignage

When the files are in the shared folders you can use CMD to create content that you can add to your signs.

These instructions are for Windows computers only. You would have to be on campus or, if off campus, connected to SU's VPN. If you use the MacOS please send an email to consult@cas.syr.edu and let me know. There's a solution for Macs and I can get you the details.
