Computer Replacement: My department received a new computer and I can't log in with my XST Student Employee account

XST Account Login Error on New Computer

Error Message: "Your account is configured to prevent you from using this PC. Please try another PC."

Cause

XST accounts are configured at creation to only log into specific, pre-approved workstations. When a computer is replaced or added, the account's permitted workstation list must be updated before login will succeed.

Before submitting a request, gather the following:

  • The XST account username for each student employee who needs access
