Rock Island-Milan School District oversees 14 schools in the Rock Island and Milan areas of Illinois. When it came time to replace their aging Active Directory\u00ae hardware, Rock Island embarked on a search for the best directory service for their infrastructure. They needed a solution that could manage Macs, strengthen control over their networks, and integrate with G Suite and Office 365. In their search, they found Directory-as-a-Service\u00ae, and discovered a solution that would modernize their IT operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They needed to either update their existing Active Directory instance or upgrade to something new \u2013 and that meant it was time for Mike MacKenna, Infrastructure and Security Administrator, and Troy Bevans, Director of IT, to survey their options. They started with the status quo: Microsoft\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n |
