Overview

The Campus Active Directory Service provides a centralized Active Directory instance for the University of Wisconsin - Madison campus. The Campus Active Directory Service will allow participating departments to take advantage of centralized NetID-based authentication while allowing for delegated administration of local resources. This allows departmental IT administrators to assign group policies, manage security groups, and deploy software while taking advantage of the convenience of NetID authentication.

Organizations that are interested in participating in the Campus Active Directory Service may request service by completing a request here: Campus Active Directory Request Form.
