Migrating Your Workstation
View/Print PDF
Follow these steps on the day of your department's migration to begin migrating your
workstation to Active Directory:
- Log into your workstation like you normally would
- When the desktop comes up, the ForensIT migration tool will begin to run in the background
- Do not attempt to open any files or programs
- Once the workstation migration has completed, the Novell removal tool will begin
- You will see several boxes appear on your desktop while Novell is being removed
- Once the tool has completed the removal of Novell, you will be prompted to click OK
- When the prompt to restart appears, click Restart Now
Follow these steps to log into your workstation after the migration has completed:
- Novell should be removed by this point
- If the Zenworks 10 login box appears, enter your MyFSU ID and Password
- When the Windows login appears, enter your username as follows:
MyFSUid@ferris.local
or
ferris_ad\MyFSUid
- If you know your AD password, use it. If you do not know your password, call TAC (x4822)
- To stop the Zenworks log in box from appearing when you first try to log in, you need
to change your AD password to match your MyFSU password
- You can change the AD password by clicking CTRL/ALT/Delete and selecting change password
Workstation environment after migration:
- Novell client will be removed
- Shortcuts to network resources that you may have created will no longer work
- Recent documents in Office Suite will no longer work
- New drive mapping to new network shares
- Network printers should show in the Printer and Faxes section
*If you need assistance with your recent documents or shortcuts, please refer to this
