Login+-+Logout

To login, users press Ctrl + Alt + Del, and then enter their AD user name and password.


 * User names** are generally a person's firstname.lastname, up to a total of 20 characters. If when creating a user name there is already one in the system, a number will be added to the end.

Student **passwords** are their PowerSchool student ID number.

New staff will be assisted to claim their account and will then set their own AD login password. Passwords must contain at least one each of the following: uppercase letter, lowercase letter, number, and special character. Staff are required to change this password every 90 days and will receive an email from iam@nhcs.net to do so. When changing the AD password, the new password must be unique, contain the minimum character requirements, and not be something that has been used in the past. To avoid being locked out of the system, change the password when first prompted to do so. Always create a secure password.

**NEVER POST STAFF, STUDENT, OR PROGRAM PASSWORDS ON OR NEAR ANY COMPUTER.**
Teachers may choose, after logging in at the computer at their desk, to stay logged in. HOWEVER, if the teacher leaves the classroom, it is recommended that the teacher logout or lock the computer to prevent access by unauthorized personnel to saved files, email, etc. NOTE: Teachers are never to leave NCWise open when getting up from his/her desk. Either close the program or lock it if you intend to return to work within the program.

Student users should always **QUIT and LOGOUT** when done using a computer. Student computers should not be left logged in when not in use.
