Welcome to the ITO-Helpdesk!

What kind of assistance do we offer?

The IT Operations (ITO) maintains the Faculties of Computer Science and Mathematics infrastructure and provides IT-Support for them. The Helpdesk is the first point of contact for questions to the ITO.

Mainly the helpdesk is responsible for problems with the hard- and software of the ITO, which includes 

  • the workspaces in the Rechnerhalle 
  • the workspaces in the offices 
  • the Xerox-Printers 
  • WLAN problems within the Uni-Network 
  • VPN Connection to the TUM 
  • set up of the ITO certificate
    Furthermore, the helpdesk maintains two websites: the Wiki https://wiki.ito.cit.tum.de and the Knowledge Database kb.in.tum.de which are continuously updated. Many answers to common questions can be found quickly in those articles.

Voluntarily, and depending on our work amount, we try to answer other questions regarding private systems, to provide a good study and work environment for students and staff.

But we are not responsible for 

  • viruses 
  • hardware damage 
  • data transfer

on private systems.

Questions regarding central IT services like TUMOnline are the responsibility of  IT Support.
