Migration Scheduling
Computer Services has not yet begun scheduling computer EID login migrations. You will be contacted once you or your team are ready to migrate to EID Login.
Overview
As part of the school's required migration to the Austin Active Directory, Computer Services will work with you to migrate your computer user account from your McCombs login to your UT EID. If you do not currently log into your computer with your McCombs login, you will not be impacted by this change and have no action to take.
Computer Services will notify you when your computer is ready to migrate to UT EID login. There is no action to take until you've been notified that your computer is ready to migrate.
- Staff - Migrations will be scheduled by department and work group. For questions about scheduling your department, email austinmigrationproject@mccombs.utexas.edu.
- Faculty - Migrations will be scheduled individually. For questions about scheduling, email austinmigrationproject@mccombs.utexas.edu.
When
We expect to begin migrating Staff computers to EID Login in early August. Faculty migrations are scheduled to begin later in August. The migration process will slow at the start of the fall semester and continue through mid-October.
What do I need to do?
Once your computer is ready to migrate, you will be contacted in advance to schedule your migration day and reminded one day prior to the scheduled day.
On the scheduled day of your migration to EID login, follow the directions below based on your computer's operating system, to make the change to your EID account. Computer services staff will be on hand to assist you on the day of this change.
Windows 7 & 8 Users - You may use the self-service documentation on this wiki, Migrating your computer to EID login - Windows 7 & 8, to migrate your McCombs account to EID on your own. If you'd like to wait for a Computer Services team member to walk you through the steps, you can continue to log into your computer with your McCombs account until we visit you.
Windows 10 Users - Please DO NOT log into your computer until a Computer Services team member visits you. Your migration process requires special attention. Our team will prioritize visiting you first.
Mac Users - You may continue to use your existing McCombs account to log into your computer until a Computer Services team member visits you. If you do not use a McCombs account to login, there will be no action to take.
