# URZ Device Management System

This source describes the centralized device management services provided by the Universitätsrechenzentrum (URZ) at the Universität Greifswald. It outlines the tools used for OS installation and software deployment, the different service levels available to users, and the supported hardware and software.

## Key Provisions
- **Centralized Management:** Uses [[opsi]] and [[filewave]] to automate OS installation, updates, and security configurations.
- **Service Levels:** Offers "Vollservice" (Full Service) for high-maintenance/high-security needs and "Basisservice" (Basic Service) for users requiring local administrative rights.
- **OS Support:** Supports Windows 11, Linux Ubuntu LTS, macOS, and mobile OS (iOS/Android).
- **Software Distribution:** Employs a tiered system including standard software, software profiles for specific groups, and a "Software-Kiosk" for self-service installation of free tools on Windows.

## Hardware and Licensing
- **Windows 11:** Restricted to specific hardware models from Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, and Lenovo.
- **Microsoft Bundescampusvertrag:** A framework agreement that limits the use of Windows Education to specific departments (Administration, Library, URZ, Genetics, and Microbiology).
