A True Network Awaits You The IT department has nearly completed the XP

means ü
Expanded
email quota—your email box is now three times bigger than your original
email box ü
Easily-accessible
web mail at http://mail.losmedanos.edu:
ü
Access
to the new, more robust file server on campus including the J drive for your
department and the P drive for everybody at LMC ü
Ability

to easily access your files from any administrative computer on campus This newly improved computing environment should
make your computing experience more efficient, more secure and more effective.
If you should have any questions about this environment, please contact the
IT department at 03-LMC Tech Support@LMC Outlook Web Access (OWA) Because of the domain change (even though some of
you are still in the 4cd domain), here are the updated instructions for
accessing Web Outlook: Address:

OS, you may get only two lines: one for username and the other for password.
In this case, please insert losmedanos\ in front of your username. Please
call extension 3767 promptly if you experience difficulties with your
username or password. By now you should be able to also change your password

will be coming soon. Please look for announcements from Staff Development.
