Synchronize NetID to Windows Computer When Off Campus
Working from off campus on a departmental computer that is a member of the campus AD (Active Directory), resetting your NetID password results in your passwords not synchronizing.
To synchronize your NetID password with campus active directory:
- Select a program from your desktop or programs using the Shift+Right Hand Mouse button.
- From the pop out menu select "Run as different user"
- At the Windows Security login window for user name input your NetID and for password your new password, note at Domain it should appears as "Domain:AD", if "AD" is not shown for the Domain, change your NetID to "AD\N
- Select "OK". This action will force your remote computer to connect to the campus Active Directory and synchronize your new password with the computer.
