OSCR Folks,
Greetings! Here in the Computer and Graphics Facility in the Chemistry Department, we frequently are asked to help faculty members configure their laptops to access UA WiFi. Normally this isn't a problem, but there's been a minor issue that's been worrying me: when I'm configuring their settings, I use my personal netid and password to test the connection (as I don't know their netid or password, and they usually drop the computer off so they're not available).
I'm concerned, as it seems that Windows remembers this, and auto-authenticates in the future, even after restarts, with the same credentials. Obviously, their connections are logged and I would hate for my username to be associated with the online activities of some of the faculty (not that they'd be doing anything against university policies, of course).
Surely you understand my concern.
Is there any way to have Windows forget one's UAWiFi login credentials so when I deliver the computer back to the faculty member, they're made to authenticate using their own netid?
Thanks!
