Getting Computer Names
In order to make computers accept student logons, techs need to know the exact computer name. Please follow these steps to identify the computer name:
- Right-click on My Computer
- From the menu that opens, choose Properties
- In the window that opens click the Computer Name tab
- The computer name is the numbers or text to the right of Full computer name, before .edmonds.wednet.edu. In the example above, the computer name is 0080674FXA.
- Click Cancel or the red X to close the window
My Computer should be located either on the desktop or in the Start menu.


NOTE: If your computer name is not followed by .edmonds.wednet.edu, please let your tech know "the computer is not in the domain."
Getting Network Printer Names
When students log onto computers as themselves, they will not have printers installed unless you let your tech know which printers you want students to use. If you manually install printers on the computers, they will not work for all students.
Follow these directions to let your tech know which network printers you want installed automatically:
- Click the link for your school and a new window will open listing all of your school's network printers
