https://acctmgt.service.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/KRB1EntryAdd


All Newark Campus Account passwords are required to be reset every 120 days. Please follow the procedures below to properly reset your password.

Once you receive your account information you will need to register it with Courion, our password management system, by going here:

https://pass01.newarkcampus.org/courion/WebSamples/AccessOptions/HTML/ProfileCourier

Enter your username and password in the logon screen and then fill out the form that follows. Once this is done, you can reset your password any time you want from anywhere with an internet connection by going to:

http://www.newarkcampus.org/newarkFacultyStaff.asp and selecting “Faculty & Staff-Change your password”

III. NEWARK CAMPUS E-MAIL

OSU and Cost Shared Faculty and Staff:

Your primary email will be through the OSU Columbus Account (Name.####) however you will also have an internal mailbox through the Newark Campus Account (this account will not have a standard email account however, you will receive email there when someone picks your name from the Global Address Book or when your OSU Columbus email is forwarded). During your account activation process we recommend that you setup forwarding from your OSU-Columbus account to your Newark Campus Account in order to only maintain a single account and take advantage of the calendaring and spam filter services of Newark campus E-mail. This provides more security features including spam and virus filtering. Additionally, access to the Newark Campus faculty/staff address lists and the calendaring/meeting request systems would be provided. Since the system is more secure, the only access methods are via Outlook Web Access or Microsoft Outlook/Entourage on Newark Campus computers (Full-Time Faculty only). Full-time faculty will be contacted by one of our technicians to configure the account on their workstations.

Please contact ITS through the Helpdesk x69244 if you have questions about forwarding your mail.

All Newark Campus Faculty and Staff:

A network drive on your computer is like a file cabinet; it is where you put files to access later. On the campus network you will have 3 network drives. These drives each have a different purpose and use.

When you open “My Computer” You will see your network drives listed.

The H Drive

Your H drive is your personal drive. Any time you log on to a networked computer on campus with your username, the H drive will be there and you can access your files.

The L Drive

The L drive is a departmental drive. While you can see each folder there, each folder is run by a department and only the people in that department have access to it. This is especially useful if several people in a department are working on a project or pulling from the same information. If you need access to a folder on the L drive, your supervisor will need to contact the Helpdesk x69244

The K Drive

The K drive is a common drive for all of Newark Campus. Files on this drive can be seen by all users on campus.

V. REMOTE ACCESS TO NETWORK DRIVES

If you want to access your network drives from off campus you can through our Virtual Private Network (VPN). For more information, visit the ITS website at the following link:

http://www.newarkcampus.org/Departmental/ITS/services/remote.asp

The tutorial there will walk you through accessing your files from off campus step by step.

If you cannot see your network Drives:

1: The first thing you should try is to restart your computer. If that does not fix the problem, you can attempt the following steps.

2: How To Map Network Drives

STEP 1

Right click on “My Computer”

Click “Map Network Drive...”

In the Folder address bar, enter one of the follow addresses to map to the specific drive:

For H Drive type:

\\newark04\usrs\(your username)

For K Drive type:

STEP 3

Make sure your “Reconnect at logon” is checked.

STEP 4

VI. BARRACUDA SPAM FIREWALL TUTORIAL

What is it?

Barracuda protects our email server from messages that are Spam messages or contain a virus.

Why this is important:

You will receive a message in your email inbox each day that has the subject “Spam Quarantine Summary”. When you open the email, it will list all of the messages that have been quarantined. Now you will be able to verify if the messages are in fact unwanted messages or if they are ones that you

need to receive. In order to begin the process click on the “click here” button.

Important:

Make sure that you use the “Deliver”, “Whitelist” and “Delete” buttons to classify messages and not the “Classify as Spam” and “Classify as Not Spam” buttons.

Outlook Plug-In

If you would like to make those options available to you directly through Outlook instead of working through the Barracuda system, then you can download a plug-in that will make it possible.

You will need to go to the website below and follow the installation steps that are provided:

http://www.newarkcampus.org/departmental/ITS/tutorials/software/outlook_plugin_v2.msi

7

http://www.newarkcampus.org/departmental/ITS/tutorials/software/outlook_plugin_v2.msi


After you have completed the installation steps, two buttons will appear as they do within the oval above.

While having a message highlighted press the green envelope with the checkmark, this will classify the message as, Not Spam; pressing the red envelope with the X will classify the message as, Spam.

VII. ATOMIC LEARNING

For All Newark Campus Staff:

Atomic Learning is a collection of online tutorials for most common academic software, including Microsoft Office. To gain access to Atomic Learning you will need to contact the Helpdesk and they will email you a username and password along with login instructions.

Once you are able to login you can search for the software you would like training on and watch several tutorials on it. This tool is very valuable for refreshing skills that haven’t been used in a while or for learning about updated versions of software.
