Frequently asked questions

How do I request Desktop Support?

  • IT Field Services customers and former SOM ISU and ITS DLS customers: Call the Service Desk at 415-514-4100 to have a ticket created. You may also chat with a Service Desk Technician now.
  • If you have no support or receive support from another team, please do call the Service Desk so a ticket is created and correctly routed.
     

How do I get or manage network storage?

  • All clients are provided with a base of 5GB of network storage, which is backed up nightly. Additional storage is available as needed.
  • Staff can self-restore files for a 14-day window; if you need longer file storage, you may submit a request. We can also back up local workstations for staff who cannot access the primary provided network storage. If you need either service, submit a request in one of two ways:
    • Contact the IT Service Desk (415-514-4100).
    • Submit a request via the Employee Self Service Portal to open a Service-Now ticket.
