Hints for using DESY Notebooks in Zeuthen (Windows)

To improve security within the DESY network, notebook users have to observe the following rules:

Before traveling:

1. Connect the notebook with cable to the DESY net, logon at win domain with your account (Creates your local profile on the notebook, so you can logon later without network connection)

2. During the first logon NetInstall asks for installing the user specific parts of the preinstalled applications. Please answer “Yes/Ja”. (All preinstalled applications etc. Microsoft Office will be configured and provided for use)

3. Update Virus scan signatures (Click the right mouse button on the virus scan symbol (down right), click “Update now”

4. A yellow sign (also down right) means windows security patches are available for installation. Please install these updates! (Right mouse click on this icon)
