The ACS Knowledge Base is your self-service resource for common IT questions, how-to guides, and troubleshooting. Resolve issues quickly without waiting for a ticket. For issues that need hands-on help, visit our Client Support Hub.

Common How-To Guides

Our most-accessed guides cover: setting up Outlook on a new device, connecting to company VPN, adding shared mailboxes/calendars, setting up Teams on mobile, mapping network drives, connecting wireless printers, self-service password reset, and MFA enrollment. For new hires, our New Employee IT Setup Guide covers all first-day tasks.

Quick Troubleshooting

Slow internet: restart router, check if other devices are affected. Outlook not syncing: close/reopen, check internet. VPN won’t connect: verify credentials, try different network. Slow computer: restart, check for updates, close unnecessary apps. Printer not working: verify power, check network, remove and re-add. If these don’t help, submit a ticket through our portal — average response is 3 minutes.

Security Alerts Explained

Suspicious sign-in: change password immediately if you didn’t initiate it. Malware detection: don’t release quarantined files without IT approval. Unexpected MFA prompt: deny it and change password — someone may have your credentials. For full security guidance, read our Cybersecurity Best Practices and Email Security Guide.
