As part of the process of upgrading and simplifying our large shared systems, and because Darkwing will be far more scalable than the old Gladstone, new undergraduate accounts are being created on Darkwing this year instead of on Gladstone. Faculty, staff and graduate accounts will also continue to be created on Darkwing as has traditionally been the case.
We are alerting you to this change here so that if you work with new students you are not confused or surprised to learn that new undergraduate accounts are being created on Darkwing rather than Gladstone.
Existing Gladstone accounts will also be merged onto Darkwing, but before we can do that we need to contact and work with a few hundred users who have both Gladstone and Darkwing accounts to ensure that their accounts can be cleanly combined.
If you are one of those comparatively rare users with both a Gladstone and a Darkwing account, expect to be contacted by Computing Center staff with further details about what we need you to do in the months ahead. All other Gladstone users need do nothing at this time.
Existing Darkwing users need do nothing at this time.
