Are you new to using a WMed Dell laptop off campus? Here are some tips and tricks to streamline your experience.

Logging In

  • Turn your laptop on, plug in the charger if needed.
  • The default network login will fail while not connected to WMed's WiFi network.
  • Click the "Computer Only Logon" option (circled below) before entering your username and password.  
  • Enter your credentials to log in once you are in Computer Only Logon mode.
  • If your current WMed password does not work at the Computer Only Logon screen, try your previous password.  Passwords can sometimes become out of sync if your password has changed while the laptop is off campus.
  • If you are presented with a "ZENworks Configuration Management" login screen, simply click Cancel to continue your normal login.


Connecting to WiFi

  1. Once you reach your desktop, you may need to connect to a new WiFi network.  Select the Network  icon on the taskbar. The icon that appears depends on your current connection state. If you don’t see one of the network icons (or a similar one) shown in the following image, select the Up arrow  to see if it appears there.
