Synchronisation Securing the Directory

Many organisations overlook their reliance on Active Directory and how it touches every piece of their software real estate, from the storage of User and Workstation objects, security and end user settings through to the repository for all Exchange configuration information.


Failure to clearly and timely address the design, planning and implementation of the directory may impact the business.


Experience with our own customers has shown such issues as slow user logon, messaging failure or insecure work environments can be the typical symptoms. After review the problems were inherently caused early in the project lifecycle.





Active Directory Health Check includes a detailed assessment on the current state of your AD infrastructure identifying areas requiring attention. This is provided in a report together with corrective action. Our assessments are based on Microsoft recommended practices and real world experience from our consultants





QStart for Active Directory is an expansion of the workshop service offering. It is a programme to help quick start your organisations requirements in delivering a new AD infrastructure. It involves your program management and technical staff with our consultants in a series of presentations and interactive discussions to identify key areas that are then taken into a fast track design phase generating a high level design.
