# Persistent Remote PCs

A persistent Remote PC is a PC assigned to a particular user. Once a PC is assigned, no other user can connect to it.

There are two ways to make a Remote PC persistent:

* When you publish a resource (application, desktop, etc.) from a pool-based Remote PC using the publishing wizard, you can select the **Persistent** option in the **Virtual Guest Settings** section. This way, a Remote PC in a pool will be assigned to the first user that opens the published resource. For more info, see **Publishing from a pool-based Remote PC**.
* You can also assign a Remote PC to a user manually. To do so, navigate to **Farm** > \<Site> > **VDI**, select the **Desktops** tab, then select a Remote PC in the list and click **Tasks** > **Assign**. In the dialog that opens, specify the target user.

To remove persistence from a Remote PC, select it in the **Desktops** tab and click **Tasks** > **Unassign**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-admin-guide/parallels-ras-21-administrators-guide/virtual-desktop-infrastructure-vdi/remote-pc-pools-in-vdi/persistent-remote-pcs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
