What
Internal CN staff user plus accounts will go away / be “merged” with the account you use to log into NWS-term4.
When
January 8th 2016
Why
1 less account to use
Reduced confusion
Better for the backend systems to have 1 administrator type account for computer privilege escalation and communication to systems like Active Directory, BitLocker, SCCM, etc.
Impact to you / what to do
Starting today, Tuesday December 29th, 2015 – Log in with your “admin”/NWS-term4 account for anything that needs escalated privileges, either on the computer or a network/server resource.
The format of the username for the “admin” account is first initial of first name, then first 7 of last name.
- Example – Joe Smith = jsmith
