Overview

This page outlines the typical questions/setups that are required for a new computer or imaged computer.

Email

Start by opening Microsoft Outlook, located in your Start menu.

Once open, you will be prompted for setting up your email.  In most cases, you can take the defaults.

When prompt for the environment type, select Exchange.

Printers

Printers are automatically installed, so no additional steps should be needed.  For details on the printer names and locations, please see Printing and Scanning.

Adobe Creative Cloud

Unfortunately, with the new licensing from Adobe, we can no longer preload Adobe software to your computer.  

To install Adobe software, please see Adobe Software for how to sign into Adobe Creative Cloud and how to install other Adobe products.

Default Applications

Your computer most likely has a few default applications not set to your liking.  

Click the Start menu and search for Default apps.

We recommend changing email to Outlook instead of Mail.

Web browser is set to Edge by default.  If you would like to install another browser, see Portal Manager for instructions on how to install them.

Additional Software

There may be a lot of other software packages you may need installed on your computer.  Be sure to review Portal Manager for what applications are available.  If you don't see what you are looking for, feel free to reach out to Saunders Technical Support for assistance.

CrashPlan (Backup Software)

This application is restricted to faculty only.  Please see CrashPlan for instructions on how to set it up.
