Code42 is a backup agent that will back up all data on a university device under the primary owner’s profile. The backup sets can be used for restoring data to a machine, whether it has been reformatted, replaced, or compromised. This document will outline the steps needed to install, activate, and restore data to a new or existing device.
Code42 is required on all University provided desktops and laptops to backup all University Business data to prevent data loss.
Who Can use Code42?
Code42 is presently licensed for full-time faculty and full-time staff only. The University mandates Code42 for proper data security practices. If a user has personal data that they wish to exclude from being backed up, a folder labeled “Personal Documents” can be found and utilized in your “Documents” folder. This folder and its contents will be ignored by Code42 when your system is being backed up.
Personal Documents folder locations:
Windows PC
C:\users\username\Documents\Personal Documents\
macOS
/users/username/documents/Personal Documents/
Tip
If the Personal Documents folder does not exist in your Documents folder, you can manually create it and the folder will be automatically ignored by Code42.
Is My Data Secure?
Code42 uses AES-256 encryption is used when storing your backups and can only be accessed by theCode42 account owner and administrators.
What is Backed Up?
All data found in a user profile will be backed up by Code42.
Location of User Profile:
Windows PC
C:\users\UserName\
macOS
/users/username/
Warning
Any data not stored in the user profile will NOT be backed up by Code42. It is highly encouraged to store university business data within your user profile.

The following tutorial will guide you through the process of connecting a printer while on-campus. Faculty and Staff members should review the purchasing process before engaging with the process for connecting a printer.
Note
Wireless printing is not permitted on campus. The information below is for wired connections only.
Connecting a Printer for Students in the Residence Halls
Most new printers are plug and play compatible with Windows 10. When you receive your new printer, you can unbox it and remove any orange tape you see. After plugging in the power and turning the printer on, allow the printer to initialize (most new printers will have a display to show you it’s progress). When the printer finishes initializing, just connect the usb printer cable from the printer to your computer. Windows 10 should automatically install the printer for you.
close
Printer Purchasing Process for Faculty and Staff
All printer purchases for faculty and staff on-campus use must appear on OIRT’s list of approved printer models. For the most up to date list of approved printer models, please contact the Purchasing Department. The purchase of any printer not on the list must be pre-approved by the CIO.
Determining if a Printer will be Directly Connected or On-Network
Faculty and Staff Members have the option of either making a direct or network connection to the printer. A direct connection is when a printer is connected to a single computer and an on-network printer means that multiple parties can print to it. Generally speaking, unless a printer is shared by three or more employees, users should request a direct connect printer.
If you are planning to use a direct connection, simply purchase any printer contained on the Purchasing Department’s list of approved models and follow the instructions for “Installing a Local Printer” in the “Connecting a Printer for Faculty and Staff Members” section below.
If your new printer will be on-network, please ask your department to contact the Fairleigh Dickinson University Technical Assistance Center (UTAC) for USAN to investigate the viability of any data jacks in the vicinity of where the printer will be located. The full workflow for this process is shown in the following diagram.

In the new dialog box, select “Find a printer in the directory” and click “Next”
Search for your printer and double click on it when you find it
A box will let you know that the printer was successfully installed. Click “Next”
You can click on “Print a Test Page” to verify you are connected to the right printer otherwise click on “Finish”
In accordance with FDU’s Acceptable Use Policy for Computer Usage, no employee shall copy or distribute software that violates copyright laws. All employees shall be aware that software and the accompanying documentation is generally owned by the manufacturer and the license only grants the user the right to use the software. Unlicensed software installations, also known as software piracy, are unacceptable at FDU.
The primary user of each computer shall take responsibility of keeping records of licenses for which software is installed. The University’s Computing Services Department shall also track licenses for software installed by the Computing Services Department though the purchase of high volume or site licenses. Users are advised that the software installed on University-owned computers may be audited internally (by the University) or externally (by software manufacturers or other anti-piracy software firms) at any time. Software found not to be in compliance with copyright laws will be removed and replaced with a licensed copy.
Computing Services will provide certain software that is commonly used by the majority of the University’s employees, including but not limited to word processing, spreadsheet, and anti-virus software. Some software manufacturers allow for non-concurrent use of a license on an office computer and an employee’s home computer. Computing Services will not provide non-concurrent licenses at off premise sites due to the inability to track these licenses.
In order to provide the best possible service and support, and to reduce the cost of software site licenses, Computing Services, in conjunction with the Center for Learning and Teaching with Technology, has standardized on Microsoft Office Professional and Symantec Endpoint Protection.

Software Quality Assurance and Compliance Policy for Network Server & Lab Installations
It is no longer possible for individuals to install software on staff or faculty desktops or lab computers. Laptops or Macintosh users have administrative rights and individuals can install additional licensed software to laptops.
Instructors wishing to have a software application installed in a lab for use by 20 or more people simultaneously must provide Computing Services the original installation media, installation guide, and the appropriate proof of license. Note that the licenses for some software may limit our ability to install it on the network. These materials must be provided a minimum of sixty days before the software is needed. Because it is impossible to predict how the software will interact with our network and other software already installed, we cannot guarantee that a program will work on our system.
For programs that will be used by less than 20 people, the instructor may install the application on up to 5 machines in a lab not normally used for classroom instruction, plus an “instructor’s machine” in one of the teaching labs. If fewer licenses are owned, then only that many licenses may be installed. The instructor will be told which machines to install the program on and will be given a password which can be used to disable the security on the machine for the duration of the installation procedure. Software installed in this way will only be available on those designated machines. Computing Services will make a reasonable attempt to keep these designated systems functioning with the additional software, but in the event that the machine needs to have it’s base configuration and software restored from backup, the instructor will be contacted and will need to reinstall the application.
In all cases, software must be owned or licensed by the University, even if the application is only to be used for demonstration purposes. No software owned by an individual will be installed on the systems.
Departments wishing to obtain software, whether it is for use by the department or to be installed in the FDU computer labs and/or FDU Anywhere, should plan appropriately to provide adequate time to acquire the software and make it available to users.
The following steps should be used as a guide when planning to obtain software for instructional or business use:
Selection of product
Creation of Purchase Order (PO) and approval by department/dean/chair
Technology review and approval by OIRT
New vendor processing, if necessary
Contract review
Tip
Plan a minimum of 3 weeks for a contract review before a PO can be processed. See contract review requirements and order process by visiting the link at the bottom of the page.
Software purchase and delivery to FDU
Software preparation. Plan up to 60 days to allow for items such as:
Creating configurations for FDU’s needs and environment
Setting up license servers or other required systems
Integration with other systems (e.g., Single Sign On)
Testing mass deployment (if for the computer labs)
Integration with FDU Anywhere (if needed) assuming the software is licensed and approved for VDI enviroment
Testing and confirmation of proper functionality by the requestor (instructor)
Final installation on computers
Note
Even if the software has no cost to FDU, per the Office of the General Counsel and the Contract Review Policy, if the software requires you to agree to terms and conditions, it’s an agreement that must be reviewed
