Lynx Machines
These are Windows machines, so the catalogue of software that will run on these vs our Macs is slightly different.
They are managed by MUSC IT. This means that in order to do anything that involves admin privileges, we will need to request temporary admin rights from MUSC IT. You may need admin rights to, for example, install certain software.
To gain admin rights, you will need to do two things:
Contact Sonny King and request that he grant you admin rights for the day (he is normally very responsive)
Be able to log off and back on to refresh your account privileges (this could interrupt certain processes, so be sure everything is saved/closed prior to doing this)
Also, if you are not comfortable doing this, let me know and I can help you!
The account system is different than our Macs. All you need in order to login to the Lynx machines is your NetID and password. Anyone with a NetID and password can login to these. There are no settings or files shared between accounts.
