Asset tag on device

Depending on when your device was purchased, you may have an asset tag on your device. If you can see a sticker saying ''University Managed Desktop', UIS manages your device. You have a University Managed Desktop (UMD) device.

1. On the device sign on screen do you see "internal" listed in the domain field?

   To check this, press “Control”, “Alt” and “Delete” at the same time. Choose "Change a password". You will see "Internal" listed in the domain field if your device is an Administrative Computing Network (ACN) Desktop device. UIS manages these devices. Select "Cancel" to return to the home screen.

3. Open "View your PC name".

4. If the 'Device name' starts with 'UMD', it is a University Managed Desktop (UMD) device. UIS manages these devices.

   If your device name does not start with UMD, it is not managed by UIS.
