Downloading, Installing and Configuring ARUser
Before you are able to access the Remedy Help Desk server from your location, the Remedy Action Request (AR) Client software must installed and configured. The installation package for AR User can be downloaded from the Remedy web site. This document contains the instructions for installing the Remedy AR Client application and is geared for a user that is comfortable installing software onto their computer.
The Remedy AR system server is located at the HostOne Center. The system server is accessed via the Remedy AR Client. HostOne personnel who have a standard desktop in their workspace should use the Remedy AR User Client in order to use the Remedy system.
You must also have an account established on the Remedy server at the HostOne. To complete this installation you must know your ID and password for the Remedy AR System. If you do not have an account, or if you do not know your password, contact the Remedy administrator at the HostOne Center.
Note: if you already have a version of Remedy AR Client installed on your system and you are going to log into the new server, skip to step 17 (start of the AR Client Configuration section).
