Open a browser to https://myvm.bloomu.edu/portal and download the native client if you don’t already have it installed.
You could also use the HTML access option if you want, but personally I think the native client has better performance. Once installed, launch the client and, if not prompted, click on “Add Server”
Then enter ‘myvm.bloomu.edu’ for the server name. Once added, double click on the server icon to connect.
The first time you connect, you should see a Microsoft login page. Enter your username@commonwealthu.edu and you will be directed to our SSO. Enter your password, and you will be prompted to open the link with the native client (if you have installed it).
You’ll then see the following notification:
Check the “Always allow” box, then click “Open Link”.
- Note: the next time you start the client, all the previous steps will be skipped and it should take you right to here.
You should then see the following screen. Double click on “Labs and Classrooms VM” and you’ll be in.
