Changes

  • All steps below MUST be completed or the first logged in user may not be made a “Volume Owner”, and this will prohibit the user from running Software Updates.

  • The first user (and only the first user) to log in to the computer will automatically be made an Admin – no need to have them go into the Self Service App to make themselves an Admin.

  • Encryption will be enabled when the first user logs in. When prompted, click Allow.

  • After the first user is logged in and at the desktop screen, have the user log out.

  • After logging out have the first user log in one more time, then go into the Self Service App and run Update Inventory.
