Accurate AD group membership with high employee turnover

 

The average organization has just under 20% annual internal turnover.  This means that 1 in 5 employees will change jobs per year.  At the same time, external turnover is approximately 5%, meaning 1 in 20 employees will leave the organization.  That, my friend, is a lot of change.

But it is nothing compared to the White House.  Imagine that on top of average turnover, there will be 100% turnover every 4 or 8 years.  ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.  How do you keep Active Directory groups accurate in that extreme environment?

You absolutely need to make sure that on day one (especially if you only have 4 years to change the world), your employees have access to printers, SharePoint, top secret files, and distribution lists.  And you need these groups create automatically, making sure that the last team's users don't have access via these groups.

Below is a short demonstration of how to use GroupID Automate to automagically create and update these groups based on changes in AD or any other data source(s).  If the Executive Office of the President can survive the change from the Whig Party to the Green Party in 17 clicks, imagine what it can do for your less extreme environment!

I like the example because the whig party actually ceased to exist in the mid-1850s, about when most manual processes to manage AD groups were devised.  Please, automate this process so your organization doesn't go the way of the Whigs.
