Steps to Login

Navigate to the Windows App (Formerly Microsoft Remote Desktop) on the Windows machine and click Sign in.

Enter the account name or select an existing account.  If using a secondary federated domain, enter a login user with the secondary domain (login@secondarydomain.com).  NOTE: In the next step, the primary user account will still be used to scan the QR code.

The TraitWare Login screen will be displayed.  Scan the QR code with the TraitWare app.  Use the primary TraitWare user to scan the QR.

A dashboard of available devices for the user is displayed.  Click Connect to connect to a device.

The user is successfully signed in to the AVD.

Select an existing user account or add a new one.

The user is signed in to the O365 portal without being asked for a password.
