To fix this, look towards the top of the browser and find a bar that says:

"This website wants to run the following add-on: 'Provision Networks Load and License Manager Client from 'Provision Networks'..."

All you need to do is click on the bar and allow it to download and install the add-on. After the add-on is installed you should be able to login using SureDesk.

Network Drives (S:)  The SureFiles Shared Disk Storage (S:) is the file server drive or SureFiles that everyone has access to based on permissions the client has us set up. 

Other:  These drives are local drives to your computer rather than SureFiles.  The names of these drives change depending on the computer you are using.

If you save a file to your computer rather than on your SureFiles, you would find it in one of the Other drives.

If this happens, you will only be able to access that file on that physical computer.  

To move it to your C: drive or S: drive so you can access it from anywhere, simply copy it to either your C: drive or the shared S: drive.

Note that this copy is doing an upload over the internet, but once it is on the SureFiles it will be fast to open.

Please contact us at solutions@suretech.com to let us know right away if you are having any connection problems. 

Also, if available, log on to your desktop from another machine. Sometimes the internet connection from one machine can be working better than from another. 

The beauty of SureDesk is your same exact desktop is available from any computer. 

Start Internet Explorer and type https://my.suretech.com in the Address bar.

You will see the SureDesk login screen.

In a domain, the directory resides on computers that are configured as "domain controllers." A domain controller is a server that manages all security-related aspects between user and domain interactions, centralizing security and administration. A Windows Server domain is normally more suitable for moderately larger businesses and/or organizations.

Windows Workgroups, by contrast, is the other model for grouping computers running Windows in a networking environment which ships with Windows. Workgroup computers are considered to be 'standalone' - i.e. there is no formal membership or authentication process formed by the workgroup. A workgroup does not have servers and clients, and as such, it represents the Peer-to-Peer (or Client-to-Client) networking paradigm, rather than the centralised architecture constituted by Server-Client. Workgroups are considered difficult to manage beyond a dozen clients, and lack single sign on, scalability, resilience/disaster recovery functionality, and many security features. Windows Workgroups are more suitable for small or home-office networks.

A domain does not refer to a single location or specific type of network configuration. The computers in a domain can share physical proximity on a small LAN or they can be located in different parts of the world. As long as they can ...

If your Blackberry is activated on a Blackberry Enterprise Server, it has the ability to wirelessly synchronize the contents of your main Outlook folders, including any mail-enabled folders (like your Inbox or Sent Items folders), your Contacts folder and any of its subfolders, and your Calendar, Tasks, and Notes folders. This is a significant improvement over the standard Blackberry Internet Service functionality, which only allows for synchronization of your Inbox and its subfolders.

The process of configuring your device for Enterprise Service is called Enterprise Activation.  The activation portion is performed on your device and requires only your email address and a single-use activation password, which we provide you with after youve requested enterprise service with us.

Note:  The activation password that we send you via email expires after 48 hours, so if it has been longer than that since youve received it; please contact us for a new one.

Before you begin, check the following to prevent any potential problems.
