Active Directory domain maintenance tonight

On Wednesday, July 14, from 5PM to 8PM, Academic & Information Technology staff will be making a core infrastructure change that will affect the way students logon in labs and classrooms.

During the maintenance period, wireless access for the campus may be unavailable intermittently.

Upon completion of the maintenance, students must now logon to a computer in campus computer labs or classrooms, they will need to connect to the “CSUCIAD” domain. Students will no longer be able to logon to campus computer labs or classrooms using the “ISLANDS” domain.

Instructions for the correct way to for students to logon are available in PDF format.  (To view, download Adobe Acrobat Reader).

Why is this maintenance important to the CI Operating System upgrade? The CI Operating System Upgrade can only commence once this maintenance is completed successfully. Once the maintenance is complete, Windows computers can be re-imaged using Windows 7 and configured to connect to only the newly combined "CSUCIAD" domain, thereby eliminating selection of the correct domain at logon to campus lab and classroom computers.

It means that there will be one less step for students & employees to logon, and fewer headaches for everyone in the long run!

Please contact the A&IT Help Desk at helpdesk@csuci.edu or call 805-437-8552 with any questions about the maintenance (or this project).
