During the Summer of 2005,  the Connecticut Community College (CCC) system implemented the next phase of Microsoft Active Directory.  This phase was the implementation of Microsoft Identity Integration Server or MIIS. MIIS is a sophisticated software product that stores and integrates identity information from multiple data sources (Banner, Active Directory) to provide a unified view of all users. Through this unified view of Banner and AD data, the process to establish and terminate Network ID (NetID) accounts was automated.

With MIIS in place, the CCC system now has the facility to create NetID accounts for each and every CCC student, faculty & staff. This is a critical step in the development of the underlying directory service infrastructure needed to provide students, faculty & staff with access to all community college services, either on-campus or via the Internet, via a single NetID.

The community college services that are accessible under this NetID include Outlook Web Access Mail for Faculty & Staff, Windows File Shares and network logon to PC workstations throughout the CCC system and the following services via the myCommNet portal: Blackboard Vista, Banner Self-Service (Students, Faculty, Finance), Library Electronic Information Databases.
