- Cornell can provide Northwestern staff with a NetID if that would make things easier.
- For example, CU Blogs exporting work.
- Other ways doing this can help the process?
Info
- Group as 19 members, per ChemIT's records on 3/4/16.
- Also, 3 system accounts (shared by the group members)
Timing hopes and expectations (general)
...
Cornell Active Directory (AD), both PCs and Macs
Idea
...
- Leave machines on Cornell's Active Directory for move.
- This retains all passwords locally, as cached credentials. Thus logging in will work indefinitely with current accounts when device no longer at Cornell.
- Change local (root) Admin password.
- Move machines to Northwestern. Should "just work" as they always have.
- Won't allow the creation of any new AD-based accounts, obviously.
- Local IT, using local Admin, disengages them from AD. Optionally reattaches device to their AD.
Mac
One way: Hand-edit the uid and the gid of the accounts to match the new AD's user account.
PC
One way: ChemIT in the past has used (many years ago) a tool called Forensit.
