Delegated OUs - Autopilot


Autopilot is a way to provision new computers. For more info, please read Autopilot at the UW.

Adding an Autopilot computer to your OU

Computers setup via Autopilot are provisioned to OU=Autopilot,DC=netid,DC=washington,DC=edu. Only UW-IT staff have permissions to manage this OU and it is not considered part of delegated OUs. Delegated OU admins can move any computer in the Autopilot OU to their delegated OU--the permissions to do so are already present. Delegated OU admins should only move those computers which have a relationship to your unit. If you make a mistake, you'll need to get UW-IT assistance in fixing it. Once you've moved an AD computer object, group policy applied via the Autopilot OU will not be replaced until a subsequent user sign-in with line of sight connectivity to a NETID domain controller. If your computer is off the UW network, you'll need to get it connected via a VPN prior to user sign-in.
