Since March 1, 2024, the new Windows computers for staff have been cloud-managed by ICT Services.
If you are the recipient of a new computer, please read more about the changes and more detailed instructions on how to set up your computer in the quick start guide: Printable Start Guide for a new Windows computer. The guide includes the most important IT guidelines and contact details; and is particularly useful for new employees.
The main changes compared to the time before March 1, 2024:
- Among other things, the computer user installs the basic softwares from the Company Portal instead of the Software Center
- Cloud-managed machines will have biometric login to the computer via Windows Hello, so you can choose to use PIN-code, facial recognition or fingerprint to login.
- On support situations, ICT Services can help customers via RemoteHelp, if required. This software offers ICT-support personell a change to take control of the computer and help remotely. The software comes pre-installed on new computers.
Computers purchased before March 1, 2024 will continue to be used for the lifetime of the computer.
