THE REMOTE NAME COULD NOT BE RESOLVED ‘GAS.NATIONAL.NCRS.NHS.UK’ ERROR.
You may already have the NHS Identity agent installed on your Windows device. This causes two windows to pop-up when entering your smart card into the reader, the local one and another in the hosted desktop.
Simply drag the error dialog box out of the way to see the cloud desktop version and enter your pin number. Launch EMIS and your credentials will be loaded.
SMART CARD SYNCHRONISATION ERROR WITHIN EMIS
You may need to logon to Emis with a username and password first and follow the prompts to sync your smart card before full functionality with a smart card will be enabled.
MICROSOFT WORD IS NOT ACTIVATED
Word will launch under your “GP In The Cloud” account which does not have an office license. On first launch you will be prompted to activate office. Providing your NHS account has the necessary N365 / Office license assigned to you, you can license Word using your NHSMail username and password.
IMPORTANT: If you receive a licensing error, the license you require is titled an “apps for enterprise” license when speaking to your NHSmail administrator.
SMART CARD PIN WINDOW CLOSES & EPS ERRORS ON APPLE MACS
We must utilise the NHS Identity tools to allow your smart card to work with the remote desktop. The NHS has limited to no support for Apple Mac’s and therefore our support is also limited. If you are using a Mac and having smart card issues, we advise you try the following:
- Ensure you are running the latest version of the Remote Desktop Client for Mac. This can be found here: https://apps.apple.com/app/microsoft–remote–desktop/id1295203466?mt=12
- Check that your Mac OS is up to date and install updates if necessary. Instructions can be found to assist you here: Find out which macOS your Mac is using – Apple Support (UK)
If you have tried the above and still have problems, we suggest reverting to using a Windows device to connect to GP In The Cloud
EPS ERROR WITHIN SYSTMONE
If you receive the error above, within SystmOne click on “PC Settings > Smart Card > Smart Card Type” and select “Oberthur” and try again.
