Help
 
  Being asked for a username and password
  To access some areas of the Department of Education's website and your school's intranet you may be asked to enter a username and password. Suggested action:

  1. If you are asked for a username and password from within your school, use your email username, such as fred.einstein, and password. Make sure the Caps Lock key is off.

  2. From outside the school you may need to add education\ (or eos\ or schools\ if appropriate) to the front of your username: for example, education\fred.einstein. (Use a backslash, not a forward slash.) But type the password without anything before it.

  3. Unable to log on? If that doesn't work, make sure your password has not expired. A sign that your password has expired is that you won't be able to check your email. So make an attempt to check your email to find out if this is in fact the case. If your password has expired only recently you might still be able to log on directly to Vkey to change your password. (Note that logging on to vkey requires your basic username only, without anything added before it.)

  4. Still unable to log on? If your school has recently changed form the "schools domain" to the "education domain", then you will first need to log on to Vkey and give yourself a new password.

  5. If you still have a problem contact a person on your school's staff who is a vkey officer or the ITS Help Centre (6232 7799).

Being asked for a domain

Sometimes you will be asked to provide a domain in addition to a username and password. If that happens, try typing education as the domain. (If that doesn't work, try schools or eos.)

"The domain EDUCATION is not available"

From within a school, if you give your username and password but receive an error message like "The domain EDUCATION is not available" then it is likely that your (usually blue) network cable is either disconnected or faulty. Make sure both ends are plugged in properly. Try a different cable. If you still have problems, you might need to try a different cable wall socket in case the one you are using is damaged or not connected to the network.
