Once logged in, ensure you are logged into your OneDrive space and can access your files there in File Explorer before starting any apps - ensure you always save files somewhere under your "Onedrive - University of Waterloo" file space. I'd suggest to avoid the "UW_Apps" and instead use "Arts_AVD / Arts_VMs" which will log you into a full virtual machine rather than just the app.

  • Nexus Rooms and Printer List
  • Nexus passwords can be changed at WatIAM. I'd recommend to do the password change while not logged into your account so feel free to stop by my or Michael's office. If you do change your password, remember to update smartphones, tablets, laptops which might be logging in automatically to Eduroam - potentially, if they have the wrong password, you may be locked out of your account due to failed password attempts against your userid (a safety feature to prevent people from breaking into your account by trying a large number of passwords on your account).
