[dsg-hdice] Please help me to login the HDice rack 1 computer

There is nothing DSG can do regarding the configuration of the computer 
in the newly completed NMR Rack #1.

Rack #2 computer disk was originally built from the old Rack #2 HDice 
(non-CUE) Windows XP computer. This disk was upgraded to Windows 7 in ~ 
2015 as part of the work required to update LabVIEW on the computer.

When Rack #1 was being rebuilt this year, the computer disk was updated 
to a Jlab-CUE based machine by the computer center. Any change to the 
configuration or repair of the Rack #1 computer must be done by the 
computer center.

DSG has completed the installation of the NMR computers for Racks 1 and 
2 in the HDice lab. So we will initiate a property transfer for these 
machines to the HDice group.

FYI: In the upcoming year, all Jlab Windows 7 computers (including the 
NMR computers) must be upgraded by the computer center to Windows 10. 
The required upgrade is detailed on the computer center website here:
