PC - Logging in

  1. Enter your e-mail user name in the User name field (e.g. tsmith).
  2. Enter your new network password in the password field (This must be reset by the Help Desk. They will then notify you of your new network password).
  3. Be sure the Domain field is set to Wesleyan
  4. You will then be presented with a desktop on which to work.
  5. When done working on the computer, be sure to log out. Your network drive and all saved data will be available for unscrupulous individuals if you don't. There is a logout icon on the desktop as well as in the Start menu.

With the move to Active Directory and Forced logon user data saved to the desktop will now be erased at user logout. The lab and classroom computers are not meant to be permanent storage facilities for your work or data. The Lab machines are imaged at least once per week. The schedule for the machine you are working on will be posted either on the workstation housing or on the wall of the row in which it resides. As a result all data will be lost at that time. However, in an effort to assist students with short-term data storage of papers and the sort, placing all data in the desktop shortcut Student Data will preserve your work until the machine is imaged.
