User Guidelines for Nebula

Nebula is intended to be a supportable and maintainable system of PCs that provides central backup and network services. This requires the PCs to conform to certain specifications. It should only be used by people who are willing to give up a certain amount of control over their PC in the interest of central support.

Please adhere to these guidelines when using a Nebula PC:

If you install additional software on Nebula PCs, you do so at your own risk, and at the risk of losing data created by the software. Desired software can be submitted to the Nebula team. If it conforms to the Nebula requirements, it will be installed through the network.
Do not modify Nebula hardware without approval and assistance from your assigned support contact.
Save all files on the H:\ drive, which is for data for individual use, or the I:\Groups drive, which is for data which needs to be shared with other members of your workgroup. For guidelines on what files are not appropriate for storage on H: or I:, please see the Nebula File Storage Policy.
Avoid storing files on the C:\ drive. This includes files saved on the Windows desktop. The drive may be erased or reformatted by support personnel at any time in the interest of system stability.
Do not share your password or leave your machine logged in and unattended. If you will be gone from your desk, log off of Nebula or set up a screen saver with a password. If you need help with this, send email to nebula@u
Leave your machine turned on at all times. See "Why keep the computers on?" for more information. Just log out: Ctrl-Alt-Del - Logout. Or use Start - Logout.
