Active Directory Accounts
- All BU users with ACS accounts can have matching AD accounts. They will need to run webnew.
To run webnew: http://www.bu.edu/computing/accounts/ad/sed
For some users, we need to pre-approve them here: http://www.bu.edu/computing/accounts/ad/sed/useradm
Active Directory Groups
- AD groups is the best way to set permissions.
- AD groups are filed in the SED/SED-Groups OU. Some groups are grouped under sub OUs.
Make sure to see the naming conventions

Remote Installation
PCs
- Power on and hit F12 and then select booting off of the network card. If you don't see the option turn on the network interface "On w/PXE" in the bios.
- It will ask you for your adm username and password.
- It should come up with an image.
- After installation, the machine will be named ENG-RIS-** and reside in ENG/Other/ENG-RIS
- Move it to the right SED OU and reboot the machine. This will allow the GPO torun to allow you to administer the machine with your ADM username and password. After that you can change the administrator password.
Macs
- Put them on the 89 net and press "n" during boot.
- Pick the image that you want.
