Computer Accounts

Accounts are created for students enrolled with the University of Wyoming that they can use while attending the university. There are four accounts that students may utilize:

Frontier Account

• This is an account on our Unix server

• Students are given a 50 MB quota for their root directory

• Please see the Web Site Space sections on the ASU Services for Students page.

Domain Account

• This is a Windows account. This is what you log into when you press CTRL-ALT-DEL in the labs
   

• This account allows students to log on to the University of Wyoming UWStudent Computer Lab System
   

• Students are given a 300 MB quota of space for use with the UWStudent Lab System. This space is commonly referred to as “the H:\” (the “H” drive).
   

• Students are also given 10 MB of space for their roaming profiles. Roaming profiles allow students to make changes to the desktop and see those changes no matter which lab they are using because that information is saved in the profile. This allows students to personalize their accounts. Click here to see a more detailed explanation of UW Student Profile Quotas
