So I created a trial account and wanted to start using Performance Point. But I need to access Central Administration to set that up (see this 

https://support.cloudshare.com/entries/22192507-Setting-up-PerformancePoint). I am new to SharePoint so please go easy on me. I cannot launch Central Admin from the START menu. How do I get to that command? Did I accidentally setup the incorrect type of trial account? Any suggestions?

  Hey there, what you're looking for should be right on the desktop.  I'm not sure why it wouldn't open so there may be an actual error with that VM or your browser isn't passing through commands to the VM.  

  

   

  I'm not sure why you would want to use the 'SharePoint 2010 Enterprise + Lync' Showcase environment though - it doesn't really apply to PerformancePoint.  You might be better off starting with a standard SharePoint 2010 Enterprise SP1 template, available in our template catalog.
