Active Directory

During the spring and summer of 2008, the College of Liberal Arts is converting from a Novell file server system to the new University-wide Active Directory system.

Active Directory is a file serving system that allows users to save their computer files to a safe and secure network file server. An additional benefit of Active Directory is the ability to access your files from any computer that can connect to Active Directory. Whether at home or on the other side of the planet, if you can connect to the Internet you can connect to your data on the Active Directory.
