Active Directory accounts are created for faculty, staff, students (including student employees), and other authorized individuals when their NetID account is created using http://iam.weizhundz.com/picknetid.

Existing students (including student employees) own ADMNET accounts. To activate the account, it is required to reset their password using NetID Password Manager utility located at http://netid.weizhundz.com. This utility will set the NetID, Google and ADMNET to the same password.

Once you have set up your GrizzlyID, PIN, NetID, and Password, keep these account credentials private. Never share these credentials in email or text messages. All University help operations need only your NetID or the last four digits of your GrizzlyID. University offices will never need your passwords or PINS, or your full GrizzlyID number.

Verify any email that is sent to you before you click on a link to enter credentials. Do not click on links in email that ask you to login. Do not enter any account credentials to login on a web site unless you have verified the site. Also, do not re-use the same password across multiple websites, like social media or shopping sites.

Visit the MySAIL portal and verify that you can successfully login.

Enter your NetID and password at OU Webmail to access your email. Make sure you're logging into your Oakland email for important updates, like when to pay your eBill. Students can also access email through the MySAIL portal.

To provide quick, convenient service and eliminate mailing delays, Student Business Services sends billing notifications electronically to each student’s OU e-mail address. Students use NetID/Password to login to the eBill system to check their billings and account status. Students are responsible for accessing their eBill account each month to view their account balance and confirm payment due dates. eBill is the preferred way for students to pay their bill. For more information about eBill, refer to the Student Financial Services website.

Your access to university resources comes with responsibilities. To keep our network safe, OU maintains a detailed computing policy that you must follow. The following Quick Policy Notes highlight applicable account policies. For more information, refer to the posted full Policies and Guidelines information.

1. Using university resources to sharing and downloading movies, music, games and software that you don’t own and without permission of the owner is a violation of university policy as well as copyright and federal law.
2. Important OU information will only be delivered to your OU email account.
3. Using email or any IT tool to harass, intimidate, or bother someone is not acceptable. If someone asks you to stop, you must comply.
4. You are responsible for maintaining and protecting your computer and devices that you have registered under your account.  
5. Sharing your IDs and passwords is not a good idea and is a violation of university policy; you are responsible for what happens from your account. Sharing also puts you at risk of identity theft.
6. Political campaigns, commercial advertising campaigns and personal businesses cannot be run using university computing resources and using your university accounts for these activities is a violation of policy.
