JLab Desktop Support

The IT Division Helpdesk provides support for all Jefferson Lab (JLab) CUE systems.  CUE is an acronym for Common User Environment and is the computing environment provided and supported by the JLab Computing and Networking Infrastructure (CNI) group.  The primary goal of CUE is to provide users with a standard environment on all supported computer systems with simplified and enhanced systems management. Systems must be configured to operate in this environment as directed in the configurations specified in the Windows, Linux, and Macintosh web pages, to utilize CUE.  Please read the section below on the CUE Directory Structure for further details on the the JLab-CUE.

If you are a member of the Accelerator or Engineering Divisions, please submit an ACE-PR work request for desktop support.  The ACE group has their own desktop support staff for their computer users.

Common User Environment (CUE) Directory Structure

The CUE directory naming structure is implemented to provide a sensible and common directory structure for centrally provided CUE directories and file systems.  When logged onto a JLab-CUE configured system, the following directories are automatically mounted without any user intervention:
