Below is a list of resources available to CASAT staff through their UNR NetId’s. This list does not cover everything available, only the most commonly used resources. This list is also geared towards CASAT staff for ‘professional or administrative’ purposes, if you are a staff member teaching UNR students you may need to utilize specific resources not listed here.

All UNR employees are assigned Email addresses through Microsoft Exchange. By default the email address will be the employee’s NetId@unr.edu, and the password is the same NetId password. You can check this email on the web through the Microsoft Office portal at office.com, and using your NetId@unr.edu and NetId password to login.

• If you are getting a new employee started and need to activate their email, you can find the directions here.
• If you would like to check your email using the Outlook client on your computer.
  • Open the Outlook app from the Windows menu, when prompted for account information fill in your NetId@unr.edu and password, from there the client should be able to figure out the rest of the information automatically.
  • When you first login to your email via the Outlook desktop app, be aware that it may take some time to sync all of your emails.
• If you have any issues or need instructions for connecting your email account to other Apps/Clients check in the Employee Email section of the UNR IT website.

UNR Employees are granted access to the campus storage network through their UNR NetIds. If you are based on campus, you will see this as the I:CASAT drive on your computer. For those of you off campus, you can access the campus storage network using the VPN. Access to folders within the CASAT folder is managed by UNR, if you need access to a folder you do not see, or need the creation of a new ‘top-level’ folder please reach out to IT about it. This is the best place to host critical and long-term departmental storage.

All UNR employees get access to box.com (NevadaBox) through their UNR NetId’s. Box is a cloud storage provider that can be utilized to store files for accessibility over the internet. Files and folders can be uploaded into Box from anywhere over the internet and then can be accessed from anywhere. Files and folders in Box can be shared with other people, including external partners. Users should be aware that CASAT IT cannot interact with NevadaBox accounts in any significant way, and that users are responsible for their own files and folders within NevadaBox. Because of this NevadaBox should not be used as long-term departmental storage and any important files should be moved over the UNR network (I: CASAT).

If the data you are needing to store concerns PHI, PII, or PCI data please contact IT for options.
