Overview
After changing your password on my.osu.edu your ASC devices will not get the change unless you are:
- On an ASC network wired connection.
- On certificate based osuwireless.
- Most machines reimaged since 2019 should be.
- You can tell if you did not need to enter a password to get on osuwireless and stay on wireless after a password change.
- On the ASC VPN.
It is important to sync passwords soon after the change. This procedure will also sync an la account password and renew a Windows license for six months.
