Purpose This checklist serves the supervisor and new employee, and the LTS Olin network administrators (NetAdmin) by assuring that all computer-related topics are discussed, scheduled, and in place, preferably before the employee begins work. The checklist is meant to be a printable working document. It is recommended that the supervisor keep the completed hardcopy for the employee to refer to when activities change; the checklist serves as a point of departure.

Computer use and network privileges are governed by higher Cornell University procedures.

Prepared by: LTS Olin Network Administrator Working Group. If you have any questions or suggestions about this document, please contact us. The current members are:
