Active Directory Implementation
A 500-person utility company with 2 locations requires a secure and efficient directory infrastructure to support the authentication and security needs of the company's users and resources. Plan every aspect of the AD design including Forest, Domains, OUs, Groups, Computers, Users, Security Policies, Group Policy, DNS, Directory Replication, etc. Assume MS Windows Server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010 will be used in this environment. Careful attention to ensure that best practices are applied in the design and security of this AD infrastructure will be expected. A plan for backing and restoring the directory will also be expected, as will detailed Visio diagrams representing the AD design imperatives.
