+    <p>On the <strong>Connect!</strong> page, the following connection information will be
+displayed:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>The remote VCL computer's IP address</li>
+<li>The user ID you will use: Administrator<br/>
+<em>Note: the user ID is always Administrator for Windows imaging
+reservations</em></li>
+<li>A one-time password for the Administrator account</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Log in using Remote Desktop Connection. You can either enter the connection
+information manually after launching the Remote Desktop Connection program
+or you can use a pre-configured RDP file:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Click the Get RDP File button</li>
+<li>Save the RDP file to your computer</li>
+<li>Double-click the RDP file to launch the Remote Desktop Connection program
+with the VCL connection information pre-configured</li>
+</ul>
+<p>If you have not selected to capture the image by the end of the reservation time, VCL
+will automatically capture the image so that you will not lose any work.</p>
+<p>The following steps form a good guideline of what to do while creating your
+image:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>Run Windows Update before saving an image.&nbsp; It's OK if the computer
+needs to reboots. &nbsp;It can take 4-6 minutes for the computer to reboot
+before you can connect via RDP again.</li>
+<li>
+<p>Install your applications. Here are some suggestions/tips on loading
+software to the remote machine:</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Copy the&nbsp;software from your local computer to the remote computer
+by sharing your local drives through Remote Desktop Connection.&nbsp; The
+shared drives show up in Windows Explorer on the&nbsp;remote machine.&nbsp;
+Do not run the software's installation program directly from the shared
+drive.&nbsp; Copy it to the remote computer first, run the setup program,
+then delete the installation files.</p>
+</li>
+<li>If you have an ISO image of the software, copy the ISO file to the
+remote machine using a shared drive then mount the ISO image as a drive
+letter.&nbsp; The freeware program MagicDisc does this very well:
+<a href="http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm">http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm</a>
+Install MagicDisc, mount the ISO file, and then run the application's
+installation program from the mounted drive.&nbsp; When the installation is
+done, unmount the drive and delete the ISO file from the remote
+machine.&nbsp; Uninstall MagicDisc before saving your image if you don't
+want it included.
+If you have a physical CD or DVD, you can create an ISO image using a
+program such as LC ISO Creator:
+<a href="http://www.lucersoft.com/freeware.php">http://www.lucersoft.com/freeware.php</a></li>
+<li>If you have access to enough network storage, you can copy the software
+installation files&nbsp;to the&nbsp;network filespace and access them from
+the remote machine.</li>
+<li>Copy the media contents using SCP from the remote computer.&nbsp; If you
+have a personal machine running an SSH server you can use this
+method.&nbsp; You could also do the same thing using FTP.</li>
+<li>Post install of software:</li>
+<li>Remove any copies of software media (needlessly takes up space in the
+image which increases the loading time for new reservations of the image)</li>
+<li>make sure all wanted desktop icons are in "All users" desktop.</li>
+<li>Configure any application customizations</li>
+<li><a href="configure-the-default-profile.html">perform customizations to the default user profile</a></li>
+<li><a href="save-the-image.html">Save the Image</a></li>
