Active Directory/Service Groups
There are a number of people critical to the success of the WolfTech Active Directory domain. While many provide encouragement, support, and assistance when asked by the community, the following service groups have agreed to provide support for specific key sections of the domain.
NCSU AD Policy Committee
NCSU AD Technical Committee
Domain Controllers and Central File Servers
The heart of the domain, the domain controllers allow authentication and authorization services to all computers, groups, and users. The domain administrators are responsible for all upkeep of these critical servers.
Domain Administrators: Dan Green (djgreen), Billy Beaudion (wrbeaudo), Derek Ballard (ddballar).
WDS Service Group
Windows Deployment Services (WDS) provides a convenient way to install Windows onto computers, both via network distribution and via CD/DVD distribution. WDS also provides mechanisms for automating Windows' installations, allowing users to completely reinstall Windows - without any interaction on their part - oftentimes in as little as 45 minutes. The WDS leads are responsible for implementing and maintaining the WDS infrastructure, as well as providing a core set of operating system images to the campus community.
Leads: Alan Gerber (agerber), Michael Underwood (mpunderw)
