Activating Your EMAIL/Changing your PASSWORD

So, the next few weeks are going to be crazy for new AND returning students because of the email change.
To make sure that you have access to ALL student account services (or at least the big ones), you should take the time to ACTIVATE your email.

To do so, visit:
ACTIVATE EMAIL

*This form requires that you know your Lesley username and password. If you do not know one or both of these, use these links: I don't know my password! What's my username?

Once you have done this, you should try logging-into a few of the important account pages:
http://lesley.edu/email  (email)
http://lesley.edu/lois (student account)
http://my.lesley.edu (course materials)
http://lesley.edu/ut/payforprint (print credits) ---
tip:  you can only check your print credits from on-campus.


If you have trouble logging into ANY of these sites, please follow these instructions:

Send an email to UT@LESLEY.EDU with the subject line “LOGIN PROBLEMS”
Be sure to include:

• Your Name
• Your Phone#
• An Alternate Email Address
• Student ID#
• Student USERNAME (usually your first initial+last name)
• Provide a quick description of the steps you took... e.g. "Went to the Activation website, changed my password, tried to login, could log into MyLesley, LOIS, Printing, but not email" --- *Please do NOT provide any password information*

Thanks for your patience as we are working to resolve these issues!

Temp Printer Installed at AIB Library.

For some reason, AIB-Library via PrintSrv-AIB has gone down..
I'm pretty certain that the problem is on the printer itself as the server seems to be configured just fine, but is not able to communicate.

Service has been called-in on it, but in the meantime, the Academic Computing Department has offered to bring one down from their area.

Because the networks are different, the server needs to be reconfigured to point print jobs to the new printer.

I solved this issue, but the workstations need to be reconfigured to print to the new printer address.

Like dominoes.
Falling into place.

Sassafras K2 KeyServer on it's way!

Well..
it's always been here (*I guess since before I started).....apparently.
We had run this at the Art Institute of Boston when I was there..

But I will be employing Sassafras K2 KeyServer to track the software installations across the labs.
It's a very simple component that basically monitors the workstations in the labs and classrooms and watches to see how many times a particular software package is run...
if there are 15 licenses for Adobe Photoshop on campus, and 15 people are using it, when the 16th person tries to run it, a message will display saying... "sorry, but we are running out of licenses".. or something to that effect.

This software serves several purposes that are NOT intended to cause grief for students trying to use the software... rather, it lets me install the software on a LOT of machines across a whole area.. (e.g. every computer in the Doble Building)... and it will let students use the software wherever it's installed rather than just in one area (so long as the # of licenses hasn't been met).....  ALSO, it lets me track a large # of licenses and usage.  So more software on each station WITH version tracking.  So I can make sure that all areas are up-to-date.

It's a small, un-noticeable thing... but I LOVE it.
