Printers, copiers and scanners are purchased or leased by your department. As long as there are no compatibility issues, we are happy to connect your copier to the network and support its software.

Contact the if you need help with configuring your printer.
 

Filestore

When you login to your UAS account you will be able to access local, and networked mapped drives. You are advised to store files on mapped drives as you will then be able to access these drives from other UAS Desktop computers and remotely via the VPN.

Security

Files stored on networked drives sit in our centrally backed-up, secure file servers.

Your UAS desktop computer will be updated and security patched on the first and third Tuesday of the month. In order to minimise disruption, these updates take place outside normal office hours at 06:15 and 20:00. Urgently required updates will be applied immediately.
