Exceed onDemand 5 — A Technical Whitepaper Connecting to Exceed onDemand Server Regardless of how Exceed onDemand Client is deployed, users will always have a shortcut in the Exceed onDemand folder in the Start Menu. Depending on how users respond during the installation of the Client or the configuration of the deployment package, they may also find an Exceed onDemand Client shortcut on the desktop. Exceed onDemand Client is the entrance to the Exceed onDemand Server — it is what users must use to connect to Exceed onDemand Server, through which they can connect to other hosts.
