ParklandOne Password Change - How Does This Impact VPN for Employees?
1. If you are on a Parkland-owned Windows machine
and you have to change your ParklandOne password off-site, it is highly recommended that you connect to the VPN first, otherwise you won't be able to use your new password to sign back onto the machine until you've reestablished connection with the Parkland network. If you are on a Parkland-owned Mac and you have to change your ParklandOne password off-site, it is required that you connect to the VPN first. Please see ParklandOne Password Change - How Does This Impact Parkland Machine Login for Employees? for more details.
2. In the past, users had to delete their old VPN profile and create
a new profile that reflected their updated password. This is no longer
the case.
