Yes - Wintel owns our AD architecture and server design/implementation while Security owns the audting, account creation, who gets what rights, and actions taken on violations from monitored events. Kind of a partnership thing, but when people can't login support goes straight to Intel.

One of the large outsourcers has it arranged this way as well in fact. I have also seen it inside of Wintel and Messaging teams. Very large orgs typically can warranty a dedicated AD team so it’s just a matter of the management chain that it lives under.

What team within your IT/IS org has responsibility of your active directory environment? I think it’s typically in the System Administration realm, but if it’s in another group/team i.e. Security – why?
