AS SOON AS POSSIBLE:

Some setup needs lead time.  

* For contractors, let finance know they're coming and confirm paperwork in order

* Ask new hire for birth month and day (not year) so account department can generate an MIT ID.  

* Request an account via https://web.mit.edu/accounts/www/guest.html&nbsp^{Image Added}; . Bryan can also do this.  CC new hire on request form so they get the reply with additional instructions. Save the reply from the accounts office; it contains the new MIT ID.

* Tell new hire to expect account email and ask them to finish it and inform you what username they selected. 

* Tell site team about new hire- name,  start date, MIT ID,  username.  Ask for help finding a place for them to sit.

* Get a machine  - see if the department has one available. If necessary to order one, ask Catherine, then ask Bryan for the how-to.

FIRST DAY: 

* For new machine, get the machine on the network. Open web browser; if the machine isn't recognized by the network, it will walk you through authorizing it. 

* Get certificates - http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/certificates/index.html&nbsp^{Image Added}; - both the certificate authority and the user certificate

* Set up email - general overview at http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/email/index.html &nbsp^{Image Added}; ; IMAP-specific setup at
