What Active Directory OU can an Engineering Base Desktop computer reside in?

Please follow the pre-deployment guide to determine the Active Directory OU an Engineering Base Desktop (EBD) system should reside in.

Note that EBD systems must remain nested somewhere within the adsroot.itcs.umich.edu/UMICH/Organizations/ENGIN/CAEN/CAEN Managed Desktops/Engineering Base Desktop OU to maintain full functionality.

Group Policy Objects linked in the CAEN OU are required for EBD systems to function properly. Systems moved elsewhere cannot be managed by CAEN and will operate as unmanaged machines. CIS-CAT policies, security patching, and AppsAnywhere are notable affected services.

If you believe your EBD system must be moved outside of the Engineering Base Desktop OU, please contact caen@umich.edu.
