=========================================<br>
<br>
The feature presentation for our ALE Central Meeting<br>
at 7:30pm on Thursday, August 16th, 2012 will be:<br>
<br>
"GRANT BUT CONTROL, TRUST BUT VERIFY"<br>
with John E. Kimberly,<br>
SE Region Systems Engineer,<br>

<br>
SYNOPSIS:<br>
- The presentation will focus on the use of Active Directory<br>
to seamlessly provide access to non-Windows platforms,<br>
including most versions of UNIX / Linux, MAC's, iPhones,<br>
iPads and Androids, and then use specific Active Directory<br>
GPO's to control that access and manage the rights and<br>
elevated privileges on those systems. Once complete,<br>
the administrator can easily validate access to systems,<br>
confirm elevated privileges and audit what users do with<br>
elevated privileges, thereby delivering data and system<br>
security, and regulatory compliance.<br>
<br>
