About TTU Domain Accounts

What is my TTU Domain Account?

All faculty and staff have a TTU Domain Account whether or not they have had a need to use it.

• If you are receiving your email via the Exchange Server, then you are using your TTU Domain Account.  For example, if you can access your email via the web at http://rim.tntech.edu, then your are using your TTU Domain Account. 
• If you maintain a web site, whether for a department (TTU web) or for instructional purposes (Iweb) then you use your TTU Domain password to access the site.
• In addition, access to some TTU web sites may be restricted and require that you logon.  If you are asked to logon in a pop-up window, when attempting to reach a specific TTU site, you should use your TTU Domain account (full email address and TTU Domain password).
• Access to the myTTU portal uses your TTU Domain username and password.

Please note that the TTU Domain account and password is NOT the same as:

• Using Banner Self Service or Eagle Online which all use your Banner Tech ID (T Number) and a PIN
• Logging in to iLearn (Desire2Learn) or the library catalog or databases which use your PC Lab Account.  However, this uses the same username and typically individuals set it up with the same password.

What is my TTU Domain username and password?

• Your TTU Domain account username is usually your full email address:  username@tntech.edu
• Some applications, such as myTTU may only require the username portion.
• Editing some web sites my require ttu\username as the username.
• Your initial password is your Tech Banner ID Number, but first time users must reset their password at:  http://www.tntech.edu/its/password.htm
  (New faculty and staff have already done this if they are reading their email at http://rim.tntech.edu)

In general it is less confusing if you keep your passwords the same for your various TTU accounts, such as your PC Lab and TTU Domain accounts.

How can I tell if my office machine is logging into the TTU Domain?

While all faculty and staff have TTU domain accounts, only some are currently set up to logon to the TTU Domain when they logon to their office Windows computer.   If, when you turn your computer on, the username you enter for your machine logon is your full email address, then you are logging on to your local machine with your Domain Account. 

For new faculty and staff, once MicroSupport has made an appointment and set up Outlook on your office machine, then you will be logging into the TTU Domain, when you logon to your local machine.

Other faculty and staff will be moved to this kind of setup as needs arise and time allows.

For additional assistance, please contact MicroSupport@tntech.edu or your College contact.
