Mapping Windows to the SOEST domain
- First go to the start menu and right click on "My Computer" and select properties.
- If you're using Windows 8 you can press "Windows + X" and select 'System'
- Next click on either 'Remote Settings,' 'System Protection' or 'Advanced System Settings' on the left side of the window
- Then click on the Computer Name tab on the top of the Window and then click 'Change...''
- Lastly check if you're a member of the domain. Windows computers will always be setup as a workgroup by default.
If you're not on the domain change it and type in 'soest.hawaii.edu' although you will have to restart your computer
for it to take effect
- After you restart you should notice that your computer name will be in front of your username followed by a backslash when you login.
Login with .\USERNAME if you want to login with a local account and login with SOEST\USERNAME if you wanna login with your SOEST account.
