Kemp Independent School District is implementing essential technology changes to enhance operations. The new software requires Windows Servers, aiming to centralize PC management, reduce setup time, support remote assistance, increase security, and simplify network printing. Employees will transition to Microsoft Active Directory accounts with new usernames and unique, case-sensitive passwords. Personal email accounts will move to Microsoft Outlook, discontinuing Netscape support. To ensure a smooth migration, employees should save vital documents and emails, approach the transition as if starting fresh, and utilize provided resources for guidance.
