We will perform a cut over of logins to the Arts and Sciences domain during the weekend of 26-Dec-15. The cut over process will take at least 48 hours to complete, and we won’t be able to predict at what time during that weekend your interactive login will disable on Chemistry and enable on the ASC domain. Important notes about accessing computer resources:
- During the cut over, all legacy usernames, (those not of the form name.n), will change to name.n format when they are moved to ASC. So using a made-up example, jsmith will become smith.9942.
- The process to access computers in CBC:
- Try your OSU name.n username and password.
- If those credentials don’t work, your computer is still in the Chemistry domain. In this case, you should use your Chemistry domain username and password. Please let us know that a computer has not been moved by sending an email to support@chemistry.ohio-state.edu with subject, “Migration errors for <your name here>“.
- If you are missing any user settings, network drives, or printers, you need to send an email to support@chemistry.ohio-state.edu with subject, “Migration errors for <your name here>“. Please include a brief description of the problem(s) you are having, your computer name if you know it, and a time and location when and where we can find you. Any missing files, settings, and network/printer mappings are easily recoverable with the assistance of Computer Support staff.
We will be reachable via telephone and email during most of the weekend of the 26th. Since the core team that weekend will be three people, we will probably be offline 12:00-6:00 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday nights. For almost all of you, I assume that even if you are completely without internet or serviceable equipment, you can use a smart phone and request help via email to support@chemistry.ohio-state.edu. In the event that this does not work for you, my cell phone number is 614.432.4215. I welcome your calls or texts, but considering cell phone reception problems and possible volume of calls, it would be advisable to make this your backup option when requesting help.
