Basic operation

User login

Authentication on the computers in the PC pool takes place via the user database of the computer center. This means that the same account can be used to log in that is also used for Stud.IP, myuos or as a Uni Mail account, for example.

Note: Accounts with the status "Alumni" are not authorized to log in to the PC Pool.

Saving data

The X: drive is connected to the current user's personal home directory on the computer center's file server during the login process. All data saved on X: is retained even after the logout process.

Note: Data that is not saved on X: (e.g. also the content of the desktop) is deleted after logging off.

Printing with the Campuscard

When logging on to the PCs, a script is executed with which the printers of the university-wide printing system are installed with the Campuscard. This script should not be closed under any circumstances, otherwise the printers will not be available. After the script has closed, the black and white printers are set up as the default option (called "qpilotsw"). There is also a color printer (called "qpilotcl") that can be selected.

Further information on the university's  printing system can be found at the  Computer Center

Logging off

When leaving a computer, you should - also in your own interest - make sure that you log off from Windows ("Start" -> "Your user name" -> "Log off" ) or shut down the computer ("Start" -> "On/Off" -> "Shut down").
