Active Directory design that helps you use your IT systems

Do you have an OU structure that's so badly laid out that you always have to use the FIND button? Are you using Group Policy to make your life easier or is it a headache thats too confusing? Are your vital DNS records correct and do you know which ones are actually vital for your AD to run?

The problem is that a lot of companies never actually "designed” their Active Directories.

Most AD's were thrown in just so companies could upgrade from NT4 to a supported Operating System with the idea that they would come back and do it properly later when they had enough time.

But realistically it's never easy to restructure a live environment.  Management requires a lot of reassurance (and change control) and IT staff need a lot of confidence in their skills and knowledge on what is quite a complex product with literally hundreds of settings.

Most administrators are too busy running the network to have the time to keep up with the latest changes in best practice for AD designs because like all systems Active Directory is changing and so are the recommendations that go with it.

• What if you could have an OU structure that is not only easy to navigate but also allows for the Best Practice use of Group Policy and Security.

• Imagine being able to check the health of your entire Active Directory on one screen and produce easy reports for management.

• Wouldn't it be great if a team of experts could come in and check the design of all of Active Directories auxilary services such as DNS, WINS, Site Layouts etc to make sure your AD is performing to it's optimum?
