Community Members with Staff Desktops
- Posted:
- June 16, 2026
Ordering surveys were circulated to department heads prior to the submission of desktop refresh orders. Users who have been approved to receive new desktops will be contacted by Computing Services to schedule their deployment appointments.
User attendance is required during the refresh appointment to ensure the following configurations are completed within the allotted timeframe:
- Login credentials
- Duo
- Printer requirements
- Data transfer validation
- Zoom
- Other necessary configurations
Desktops scheduled for replacement will have their data backed up and recovered by Computing Services once the appointment has concluded.
Beginning this week, Computing Services staff will begin scheduling refresh appointments and equipment pickups with department members.
Desktop Deadline Return
The desktops targeted for this technology refresh are currently on lease and must be returned to the leasing company by July 31, 2026. It is mandatory that all leased equipment be recovered and returned by this deadline.
The scheduling and coordination process will take several weeks. We appreciate the cooperation and patience of all community members as this project is rolled out.
Questions regarding the desktop refresh may be directed to Lisa Stadler-Kay at stadler@fdu.edu or Peter Mannarino at p.mannarino@fdu.edu.
