New PC Logon Information
You will no longer be able to log onto smart classroom PCs with the generic “lectern” account. Each faculty member must now login to classroom PCs with their own personal domain login. Your login should be the same login you would use in your office. This login account is provided to all full and part-time faculty by the technology coordinators in each of the schools. It is important that you review that account information before attempting to use a smart classroom PC at Baruch.
Since you will be logging in with a personal account, you will be responsible for computer activity while you are logged in - it is critical that you logout or shut down the computer at the end of your class.
If you do not already have a personal domain login account, you may obtain that account from your school's IT Staff, as listed below:

The change regarding PC logon was implemented because faculty members have raised concerns regarding unauthorized modifications of smart classroom PCs. These modifications include installing programs (including chat and games), removing desktop shortcuts, introducing spy ware and sometimes viruses to the computer and changing background images. As a result of these concerns and heightened awareness of security issues brought about by various I.T. audits, we have removed the generic “lectern” account from the new PCs that have been installed in all smart classrooms.
As always, if you have any problems using the lecterns or equipment in the smart classrooms, please contact the Baruch College Computing and Technology Help Desk at (646) 312-1010.
