IT information
Devices are currently being connected to the University domain under MU security settings, with a deadline of the end of 2021. This will not affect employee user rights. By moving under the domain, everyone will gain the ability to log into the computer with their UČO, back up data, convenient installation of software (choice of catalogue), and a higher level of security. The IT department will contact users who are not yet established in the domain in due course. This setup will take up to 30 minutes.
By the end of 2021, the inventory software will be set up on all the centre's devices to help us manage HW and SW throughout the centre. Without having to inspect your equipment, it will be possible, for example, to order a new hard drive where there is a high risk of failure. In such cases, an employee will be contacted promptly with information on the supply of components for replacement. We, therefore, ask for your co-operation.
