Microsoft Active Directory Architecture and Design
In order to fully realize capabilities of Active Directory and get the most value out of your infrastructure, it is important to utilize an architecture that is designed appropriately for your business.
It is common for existing Active Directory architectures to become disorganized, inefficient, and difficult to manage.
Whether you’re designing a new Active Directory architecture or redesigning your existing Active Directory, it is important to ensure that your design both fulfills business requirements and allows for future growth.
Some common Active Directory design flaws include:
Inefficient Object Structure – Users, computers, and groups should be organized in a way such that tasks including management using group policies and assigning security can be done with the least amount of administrative effort. In many cases, IT workers are doing more work than necessary because they are limited by the directory structure.
Inability to Grow – Forest and domain design and site communication are two of the largest factors in determining whether your infrastructure can grow effectively. While these problems can be corrected by redesigning your Active Directory architecture, they can be easily avoided if planned effectively during the initial phases of the project.
We make it our purpose to help design the Active Directory that fits your business needs. We will work with you to:
Determine the business requirements and important factors affecting the design of your Active Directory
Design the Active Directory in a way that’s right for your business, maximizing value and enabling ease of growth and management
Plan the implementation from start to finish, including risk assessment, implementation milestones, and post-implementation recommendations
Perform the implementation in any capacity. Whether you want us to manage and perform the entire project, or you want us to be available on a time and materials basis, we are available to help in any way possible
Document the project to enable ongoing administration and future growth as simple as possible
In order to get the most value out of your company’s Active Directory, and, more importantly, to avoid potential pitfalls in function, growth, and management, it is important to ensure that your Active Directory architecture is designed appropriately.
