Block or Unblock a Station

Applies To: Windows MultiPoint Server 2011

You can block a user or users from the MultiPoint Server system if you need to get their attention. While a user is blocked, their session remains active in the MultiPoint Server system’s computer memory until the station is unblocked. You can customize a message to be displayed for a blocked user.

Creating a message to display for blocked users

Before you block a user, you may want to create a message to display on the user’s monitor when they are blocked. For example, “Please turn your attention to the speaker.” Station blocked is the default text if you do not create your own message.

To create a message to display for blocked users

  1. In normal mode, click the Desktops tab.

  2. Under General Tasks, click Message for blocked users. The Message for Blocked Users page opens.

  3. Type the message you want to display on the blocked station(s), and then click OK.
