Migration...so what's it to ya?
You've heard that you are going to be migrated. If you're reading this, presumably you'd like more information. As a sufferer of short attention spans, I'll keep this in chunklets.
Otherwise, the text should focus more on what you, the user, will notice as changes to what you currently have.
The new domain, which is called MASH, is a Windows 2003 Active Directory Domain. There are currently two Domain Controllers, hosted on SunFire v20z's
These boxes feature some way cool stuff. Most notably is the support for hardware level RAID (read OS independent). They have Microsoft Windows 2003 Enterprise Server installed. The advent of an Active Directy (or AD) based network for WOU causes big bright smiles...at least for me. I'm able to make enterprise-wide changes on the client machines quickly, in one place. This offers a degree of granular control that we completely lacked.
With the implementation of multiple domain controllers, we'll have much more greater better network redundancy (the prior statement was, in itself, a poor redundancy pun...not a horrible grammar faux pas).
