# 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**.
