  1. Write all usernames and passwords on paper for your computer account access, and database and server access. Do not give out your kerberos MIT Kerberos password. Give a copy of this list of passwords to your supervisor as well as the new employee (if they need it). These passwords will be critical in maintaining key chains on the Mac account if this is desired. There are some instances where you don't want to do this especially if the keychains are tied to an MIT Kerberos account that will eventually be expired. We definitely won't need your kerberos password, so you don't need to include that one.
  2. Run a final backup of your machine if you're using Time Machine or Windows Backup.

  1. Create the new user's computer account (if the new user is a temp, we may be asked not to create a new user account).

  3. Obtain Certificates for the new user at https://ca.mit.edu/ca/ in the browser they would need.
  4. If a new user account is created, copy all files on the old desktop in "Files To New Employee" to the new user account of the new employee.
  5. If a new user account is created, copy all the email folders from the old user's account in Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes (where username is the user's Mac account name) on the Mac to the new user's email account folder in the new user's Mac account "Library/Mai/V2/Mailboxes/" folder.
  6. Launch Apple Mail in the new user's account to build the index from the old emails. After it does this, add the new user's email account settings.
