Introduction
The following is a list of tasks that should be performed on a new computer with the end-user present.
All Computers
First steps:
- Update inventory spreadsheet with serial number of computer.
- If a Mac device, submit serial number to euc-help@mit.edu and ask them to place the computer in CRE's Jamf site.
- Affix asset tag to computer (in an inconspicuous place if requested)
- Setup an admin account (creadmin)
- With Mac, log into this at least once after rebooting in order for it to register the encryption keys into Jamf
- Set up meeting with client to go over transfer
Most of these applications should automatically get installed as a result of their location in Jamf/Active Directory, however, you will still need to configured them.
If any of these applications are not installed on Mac, use the Self-Service installer in the Applications folder.
- Dropbox
- Adobe Creative Suite
- Zoom
- CrashPlan

- SAPGui (Only if requested)
Once everything is complete, verify the following:

Mac Computers
- If the computer is a new computer, email the serial number to euc-help@mit.edu and ask them to put it into our CRE Site. Do this before anything, because in order for it to get all of our settings, it needs to be in our Jamf site. EUC group needs to confirm they've moved the computer.
