Active Directory Migrations: August project update
The Active Directory (AD) Migrations Team has been working diligently to help departments migrate to Campus Active Directory (CAD). Here are some recent updates and milestones, plus a look ahead at what’s on the horizon.
Recent progress
- The team ran 2 brainstorming workshops to find ways to speed up migrations. Each session ended with a ranked list of improvement ideas, from quick wins to bigger, high-impact projects. The team will put some of these ideas into action over the coming months and check how well they work in November.
- The team started early planning for moving to the new directory system with Computer-Aided Engineering, University Health Services Departmental Support and Housing Departmental Support. The team is on track to begin active moves in January 2026.
- The project team moved the program dashboard to Google Dashboards to make it easier to use.
What’s ahead
- The team is bringing on a dedicated project manager to coordinate all 3 Departmental Support migrations.
- The project team will find out which departments haven’t yet picked how they want to migrate or set a timeline.
- The team will create a process for handling special cases and a policy for departments that choose to stay outside the central directory system and accept that risk.
