Typical work environment
This is a typical configuration example of a Windows-operated computer in use at one of the Faculty's chairs:
-
The Windows folders (the user's files and pictures, etc.) are mirrored to the Linux home directories and are thus accessible from anywhere.
-
The Linux home directory is available on device U:.
-
The project folder is available on device P:, sub-folders have been created for the chair's projects. Access to the sub-folders is restricted to the respective project teams, who form individual groups with specific access rights (groups and access rights are managed by the directory service).
-
Our central Large Temp directory is available on device L:. It serves for short-term storage of large files.
-
Several printers have been installed, which are located on the chair's site.
-
Regular backups are made of both U: and P:.
-
Each of the registered laptops has been assigned an IP address and a computer name.
-
Software and updates are automatically distributed.
