Implementing Active Directory
Consider that you have to design the Active Directory structure for a financial organization that has 10 sites throughout the country and 5 major departments at each site. The sites are located in the following cities: Detroit, MI; New York City, NY; Chicago, IL; Phoenix, AZ; San Diego CA; Tampa, FL; Boston, Massachusetts; Nashville, Tennessee; Toledo, OH; Indianapolis, IN. (Each city should have it's own domain with the New York site being the Forest Root Domain and the domain name is NationalFinances.com). There are five major departments:
- Financial
- Sales
- Call Center
- Information Technology
- Project Management
Each department will need to store files specific to their department.•How would you design your Active Directory structure? What are the various questions you should ask yourself to determine your design?
- How should the servers be named, as the main server will be NationalFinanaces.com?
- What will be the role of the server in this structure? Defend your reasoning.
- What would be the OUs and the computer users and groups in your design?
