Barring any unforeseen problems the date that the PEOPLE side changes for our UFAD OU structure will go into effect is Tuesday, April 14th. At 10am Enterprise Infrastructure & Operations will update the directory sync scripts and then Identity Access Management will kick off the scripts that remove NMBs and reassign them. The IAM scripts will be the process that makes sure everyone trickles to their correct OU. There will be an expected 30 min to 1 hr timeframe for this sync to complete.
After maintenance is completed user objects should be found in the new OUs. Since NMBs are being reassigned the start dates for all NMBs will be April 14th and there will be no end date assigned.
I will be providing IAM the list of UFID to NMB assignments at 4pm on Monday, April 13th. Any NMB changes you make between this time and the completion of the following morning’s work will not be made. It would be best to not perform NMB assignments until the completion of this maintenance.
Possible things to watch out for that have previously been mentioned:
- Use of OU Autogroups.
- GPO links on PEOPLE side
- Query-based distribution groups which target OUs
- Any custom scripts that target OUs.
- Dependence on a set NMB end-date.
EIO is currently reviewing the autogroup scripts to insure that the new OUs will receive their corresponding autogroups. Additionally, the delegation of permissions will be completed this afternoon.
The old OUs will be deleted at a future date.
If you have questions about this maintenance please let me know.
