Abstract

Managing of every modern establishment requires a functioning digital identity service. We at Faculty of Education decided to use the one from our mother University of Ljubljana, when we decided to migrate our servers and users from Unix system to Microsoft domain using Active Directory 2003. We encountered interesting problems because of our non-domain IT environment and since most of our users were not prepared for the change; however, we managed with a hack-trick in registry to make transition for our users transparently invisible. In addition, Microsoft Group Policy considerably helped network administrators to alleviate management of enterprise computers and users, including users modern needs. We will show optimize proceedure and traps which you can encounter.
