IT Tools

Our eDesktop and the webmail service are vital tools for IMC Krems students and staff.

eDesktop

The eDesktop is our intranet where we post important information for both students and employees – including timetables, room bookings and the latest news. It provides individual users with precisely the information they need.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi  

Stay connected: you can access our stable, fast Wi-Fi network at all IMC Krems locations.

The university is part of eduroam (education roaming), an international project that enables students and employees to access wireless networks at numerous Austrian and foreign education institutions using the login data from their own university.

Authentication takes place via your IMC account. You can simply use your university e-mail address ([email protected]) and password to log in.

Tip: the eduroam service is especially useful during an exchange semester, excursions and trips abroad.

It goes without saying that visitors and conference participants can also access our fast and stable wireless network.

In this case, authentication is performed using the PIN provided. The PIN is displayed on the information panels at the event location. Alternatively, you can also contact the event organiser.

To use our Wi-Fi network, you need a valid password and a device with a WLAN interface (WPA2/AES, 802.1X or at least 802.11n-compatible).


Microsoft 365

Free Microsoft 365  

All students, lecturers and staff can use the Microsoft Windows operating system and Microsoft Office package free of charge.

You will also receive an IMC Krems e-mail address combined with a free Microsoft Office package that can be used on up to five devices (PC, Mac, tablet or smartphone).

In addition to your mailbox, you also have one terabyte of free cloud storage space.


Reset Password

Have you forgotten your password?

We can help you with that too.

With a new tool, you can reset your password yourself – quickly and easily.

Virtual offers

Distance learning and mobile working

Digital learning and working environments at IMC Krems.

Where possible and appropriate, our university also uses distance learning as a complement for face-to-face teaching. We have the option of setting up virtual classrooms, for instance using Microsoft Teams. Alternatively, lecturers can prepare e-learning units, in which students are given tasks or exercises which they complete by themselves. 

If requested by lecturers, examinations at our university can also be held digitally – either orally via Microsoft Teams or in writing using biz:Examiner.

Mobile working: no problem! Thanks to the seamless integration of various Microsoft 365 tools, in-house programs and databases, IMC staff can access documents and databases and communicate with the rest of their team as usual from home.


Recommended equipment

Technology check: have you got the right equipment?

To help you get the best out of our IT infrastructure, we recommend that you use a Wi-Fi-enabled laptop with the latest version of Microsoft Windows and the Microsoft Office suite .

We recommend you use the Windows 11 x64 (Version: Home, Pro or Education) operating system, and at least an Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5/7 processor and 8GB RAM, or a comparable device. 

Students on the Informatics bachelor degree programme should use a device with at least 16GB RAM.

We recommend using at least the Mac OS X 10.15 (Catalina) operating system, and an Intel i5 processor and 8GB RAM. These requirements are usually met by Mac models from around 2014 onwards. 

Students on the Informatics bachelor degree programme should use a device with at least 16GB RAM. 

Attention: Apple devices with ARM Apple M1/M2/M3 chipsets are not supported for Bootcamp or virtual x86 emulation!


Available infrastructure

Fully equipped seminar rooms

Practical extras: students and lecturers will find more than enough sockets in our seminar and meeting rooms.

If you would like to connect your laptop to the AV equipment in the rooms you can use the following cables:

  • HDMI
  • VGA 

If your laptop does not have any of these sockets, please bring an adaptor with you or access your personal cloud storage space using the PC in the room.
