Client management for Windows
A Windows computer ordered and delivered via UIT is something you can easily get started with on your own. The computers supported in Windows Client Management are those ordered using, for example, the list of recommended IT equipment.
If you have an unmanaged computer ordered previously and owned by Uppsala University, you can contact IT Support to see the possibility of enroll your computer to the client management system.
Software and self-service
A Windows computer that is managed will have access to a self-service portal ("Software Center"). You can find it by searching for "Software Center" in the lower left corner of the Windows Start menu.
The Software Center allows you to manage software, as well as manage Windows updates and operating system upgrades.
Login and connection
Login to a managed Windows computer is done with your usual username and password A.
Wireless networking is available on University campuses in the form of Eduroam. See more information about Eduroam here.
If you are outside the University area, you can connect to VPN, which is installed by default on your computer. You can find it by searching for "Cisco" at the bottom left of the Windows Start menu. See more information about VPN here.
Email management on a managed Windows computer is done via the Outlook software installed by default on the computer. You can find it by searching for "Outlook" at the bottom left of the Windows Start menu. See more information about Outlook here.
Printing
Printing on a managed Windows computer is done via the eduPrint-UU print queue, which is installed by default on the computer. See more information about eduPrint here.
