Problem
Ken 7 has just purchased a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) software package and will place the workstation computers which will use this ERP software at eight different locations on the shop floor. The ERP software requires two database servers, four application servers, and two Web servers, all of which run a Windows operating system. All the above-mentioned servers and the shop floor workstations are new, but there are 22 workstations already in place, which work with an older software that Ken 7 uses to manage the manufacturing and accounting processes. The existing 22 workstations are grouped into three workgroups: accounting, planning, and purchasing. Before you add the Active Directory to the network, you have been asked to examine the effects of adding Active Directory in several key areas.
• How will the procedure for defining access controls change after converting to Active Directory?
