As I go around from county to county and migrate computers to the Cornell Active Directory, the first thing you will notice after the switch is that you will log into your work computer with your netID and password. (In case you are curious, new server status: Genesee, Monroe and Orleans have been migrated and are now using the new file server! Erie and Niagara will be done within the next couple of months. Allegany-Cattaraugus, Chautauqua and Wyoming will follow after that, to be completed by year end. Click here for a past blog post about the new file server.)
And now, with the move to the Workday system (which also uses your Cornell NetID and password) it becomes even more vital to never share your NetID password with anyone, not even your friendly IT person (we have other ways to access your computers).
Your Cornell NetID and password are the key to a great deal of personal information including your address, birthdate, social security number, and more. . . you can imagine the problems if that information fell into the wrong hands!
