2013 Update
In March 2013, InCommon kicked off a review of the AD Cookbook in light of the revised spec (1.2) and submission of the Cookbook to the Assurance Advisory Committee and an approved Alternative Means.
The working group has released a draft of their updated version.

2012 Release
A number of InCommon participant institutions have been preparing to submit applications to the assurance program to allow them to assert InCommon Silver level of assurance. A subset of this group has been working for almost a year on a draft “cookbook” to help those who have Microsoft’s Active Directory Domain Services (commonly referred to as “Active Directory” or “AD”) deployed, be able to configure it for compliance with the technical requirements of InCommon Silver.
