Important Announcement

The original lab server is starting to have problems, and therefore is being retired. Because of this, there are a few things that need to be done that will impact all students.
First, everyone will need to re-add the F and T wing lab printers in order to be able to use them. I have written a script that will remove the old printers when you log in, so you should just need to add them again from LAB2. To do so, follow the same proceedures as before Printers
Some of the older accounts profiles and home drives had to be moved to another server. If your account was on the old server, you will probably notice that your desktop has changed as the profiles were not able to be moved. I did however move your home directories, so the files you saved to the Z:\ drive should still be accessible. If you had something on your desktop that you really need, let me know and I will do my best to recover it for you.
If you have any problems, please send me an email. Thanks!

New computers purchased with STF funds have been installed in the T-wing and are ready for use!

I am Currently going through the process of removing old computer accounts. I am sorting them by a last logged in date, and expiring accounts that have not been used in quite a while. I will only remove these accounts after they have been expired for 6 months to free up space. If you find that your account does not work, please send me an email and I will reactivate it. I'm guessing that this will not affect many people, as the cut off date should only affect accounts that truly are not used

Stata 10 has been ordered for the lab, and I will be installing it on the machines when it comes in

Update: Stata 10 has arrived, and is installed on the lab machines in the F-wing lab and the T-wing lab

Lab Documents:

I have created a document that has important information about the student computing lab. Many questions about the lab are answered in this document, which can be found here

If you have any questions about the lab or this document, please email me.

Passwords:

Every student has an account for the student computer labs. If you have forgotten your password, I can reset it for you. After I reset your password, you will recieve an email from me with instructions on where to find your password.

Printers:

Instructions for setting up the printer:

Step 1: Go to Start -> Settings -> Printers
Step 2: Add Printer.
Step 3: Select Network printer.
Step 4: Find printer in the directory(make sure you change entire directory to epi) then click find now.
Step 5: Select the correct printer(They are labeled as F-wing Lab Printer, and T-wing Lab Printer).

This may take a min to process. Now you should be able to print. If you have any problems, please email me at khask at u.washington.edu
