[brlug-general] Active Directory Mandated at LSU

[Justin Pauler - Mail Lists]

Hello...

Maybe I'm missing something (it's quite possible I read over it), but has anyone actually said any current administrator is going to loose any "control" after moving to a central AD?

I work for a company that once had it's own local AD and then migrated to a central AD with a company mandated Inventory Consolidation Program. The company has 128 sites in the U.S./Canada/Mexico alone (not counting the 100+ sites overseas) all participating in a global AD -- in my opinion, it makes life easier.

I have administrative privileges over my local OU, not for the entire domain, but I haven't found a problem yet that can't be tackled...

  We have that type of repor with our HVAC guys, and it is pretty funny 
  haha.  The unwritten rule is keep my office cool and we'll keep your 
  network/email running.  So a typical conversation:
  
  Me: Hey is the network running slow over there?
  HVAC guy:  Yea.
  Me:  That's cause it's freaking hot in my building.
  HVAC guy: Haha ok, we'll take a look at it.
  Me:  Cool, when it cools off in here i'll take a look at the network.
  
  Of course it goes both ways.  I'll often get the phone call. "Hey is it 
  getting hot over there yet?" haha...
