Active Directory Review

The Plan-Net Active Directory Review is an independent and expert review of your entire AD infrastructure with a specific focus on existing Active Directory/Windows server problems that are currently impacting the business. The Check gives you a complete picture of your Active Directory environment, from a business and technical level on a fixed cost basis that typically delivers enough savings to pay for the cost of the health check within 3 months.

Plan-Net's Active Directory Health Check delivers real business value in the form of an extensive evaluation against recognised best practice. It examines the overall suitability of the configuration for your business - particularly if your business has recently changed. It covers operational and monitoring procedures as well as technical configuration to rectify any imbalances.

The Active Directory health check delves deep into your AD implementation in eight key areas.

  • OU design, including security principals, delegation and object placement.
  • Supporting network infrastructure, including OS configuration, AD, DNS, network performance, GCs, WINS inter-site links etc.
  • Key service resilience, checking directory and schema backups, restoration, incident management, AD fault tolerance.
  • Security model design and implementation
  • Weaknesses and threat assessment such as patching levels, security loopholes, inappropriate directory rights.
  • FSMO usage and placement, site and network design.
  • Database and schema health, DC replication.
  • Management, monitoring and administration tools and procedures; what's in place, what's appropriate, and how they work in practice.

ACTIVE DIRECTORY FACT!

A malfunctioning or wrongly configured AD can cause havoc. In one widely reported example, an AD configuration update prevented all 65,000 users in a particular organisation from logging-in, and the situation was only rectified once every single PC in the company had been rebuilt. With damage potential like that, can you afford not to be completely in-touch with the health of your Active Directory installation?
