Introduction
UMIACS staff will be migrating all UMIACS user Windows accounts to a new domain to prepare for simplified password management. This migration will kickoff this process by moving from our existing Windows Active Directory domain (pc.umiacs.umd.edu) to a new one (ad.umiacs.umd.edu). After this migration we will be starting a one month migration to consolidate from our UNIX Kerberos5 domain.
No files or emails will be lost as part of this migration.
Actions you need to take
- Log off your Windows workstation (if you have one) prior to 8am on Saturday, March 24th, otherwise you will be forcibly logged out at this time.
Things to keep in mind
- Your password will not change.
- Authentication to the Pulse Secure VPN will not be available.
- Windows workstations will be unavailable to log into during this time.
- Exchange/Outlook email access will be interrupted during this time. Email will be delivered however will not be accessible from phones, Outlook or Outlook Web Access.
After the migration has completed
- We will post an annoucement on https://intranet.umiacs.umd.edu when the migration has completed and will send a follow-up email announcing this.
- Your Windows account will now be of the form
UMIACS\usernameinstead ofPC\username. You must use this username format going forward. Services that will require this new format:- Outlook Web Access for Exchange email users
- Phone email setup for Exchange email users.
- Remote Desktop workstation access
