Getting started with Windows in the CMS

Finding a Windows PC

• List of public Windows PCs
• If your office PC runs Linux, you can connect to our Windows server via the XUbuntu menus: Applications -> Office -> Windows Applications). Details and how to make a Remote Desktop connection from home.

Logging in

• If necessary, switch the PC on and wait for it to boot.
• You should see a blue screen telling you to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
• There are now two possibilities depending on whether the machine has been configured to save the last logged-in user or not.
• If it has, the computer will display the username e.g. \MATHS\abc99 and request a password. If the username displayed is incorrect then click on Switch User. Note: you don't need to type the \MATHS as this is the default domain.
• Otherwise, simply enter your username and password.
