AD Overview
The campus Active Directory (AD) service is a user and computer account
information directory for Microsoft Windows systems. Like the campus
LDAP directory service, Active Directory houses information about people
and resources associated with the campus. This service serves as
the backbone of Windows 2000/2003 networking on campus. It is a
Microsoft directory service (user identity database) that uses the LDAP
directory protocol.
Impact of Daylight Saving Time Change on this Technology
The AD remediation was completed on Feb. 22nd which involved installing
the Microsoft OS DST patch on all parent domain controllers (DC11, DC12,
DC13, DC14), Exchange mail routing servers (adx1,adx2), and the Exchange
Recipient Update Service server (adrus).
Remediation Steps for Customers
Customers will need to update their Windows clients with the latest
Microsoft update security patches which includes the DST patch. Exchange
server administrators will follow additional steps to apply both the
OS DST patch as well as the DST grooming tool for Exchange calendar.
