Migrating your computer to EID login - Windows 7 & 8 - DRAFT - EDITS IN PROGRESS

Computer Services will notify you in advance of your migration. Once notified, we will let you know when your computer will update permissions for your UT EID. During that time, your computer must be turned on and connected to the UT network.

After permissions are set up, we will tell you what day to begin logging into your computer with your UT EID. Once you receive that notification, follow these steps to set up your account.

Step-by-step guide

1. Once notified, log out of your McCombs user account.
    
2. You'll then log into your computer with your UT EID account. On your computer's login screen, enter your-UTEID@austin.utexas.edu or AUSTIN\your-UTEID, then enter your EID password and click the arrow or type the Enter key on your keyboard to login.

   2. 
       
3. Once logged in, check the following applications that will be impacted by your new EID account
   
   
   1. Outlook - Open Outlook and you will be prompted to log in. Use your <McCombs username>@mccombs.utexas.edu to log in and check the box to remember your password. You will not switch to using your EID for email at this time.
      
      
       
   2. Skype for Business (previously Lync) - Open Skype for Business and you will be prompted to log in. Use your <McCombs username>@mccombs.utexas.edu to log in and check the box to remember you password. You will not switch to using your EID for Skype at this time.
      
      - If you receive an error stating the "service is unavailable," contact Tech Support.
      
      
       
   3. McCombs Intranet - Open your browser and navigate to the Intranet URL, https://intranet.mccombs.utexas.edu. Your browser may log you into the Intranet with your EID. Instead, select "Sign in as a different user" from the x area of the page. Then, log in with your McCombs account and check the box to remember your password.
      
      
      
      - If you use https://community.mccombs.utexas.edu, you will need to use the step above to log back in with your McCombs account.
      - If you use multiple browsers to access the Intranet, repeat the steps above.
       
   4. Sitecore web content editor - Similar steps to intranet? What are they?
      
      
   5. Mainframe QWS3270 - Open QWS3270. If you receive an error stating "error creating credentials," rerun the UT configuration utility - UTConfigFor3270.msi directions for running this MSI? Is this easy enough for an end user?
       
4. File shares, database and other network resources - You EID should be able to access the same network file shares, databases and other resources. If you encounter something you can't connect to, please contact Tech Support.
