Coming update of directory service
In Q2 2025, KI's central Active Directory (AD/directory service) will be updated to the latest version. Before this update, local system owners or department technicians must check the systems connected to KI's central AD.
The update means that departmental system owners must ensure that non-central systems and services connected to KI's AD are compatible with the new version.
ITA cannot check external systems independently, so each department must start a check on this.

What does AD mean?
In simple terms, an Active Directory (AD), or directory service, manages and organises users, resources, permissions, computer clients, and servers in large IT environments and networks.
It is sometimes likened to the heart of an IT environment, which makes it extremely important to protect and keep up-to-date adequately.
