Active Directory : Tech-Pages

This page outlines basic information on tasks you will need to perform as a OU administrator in the UIC-AD. We offer this information as a guideline to making your machines, servers, and resources easier to manage within the UIC-AD forest.

AD-ADMINS Listserv

By the suggestion of UIC-AD administrators a UIC-AD listserv was created to help with the communication between administrators dealing with AD issues and implementation suggestions. This is a good place to go when you have questions as to how other administrators on campus are using the UIC-AD. The focus of the list is on the UIC-AD run by the ACCC.
