Your entry point to CERN administrative infrastructure is the administrative assistant of the group. Pass by the office and discuss your issue!

At CERN, machines with a fixed IP are registered to a certain socket (they are on the wall, they have a yellow sticker on them). If yours is not, please visit this page and register it. Then, once turned on, the machine will boot from LAN. Select Scientific Linux and follow the instructions. For more information visit this site.

You probably have a machine under your desk. Before you can log into it with your CERN credentials, you have to type in the command useraddcern <userid> as root.

Be patient. The administration may take some hours to absorb a big bunch of new comers.
