Directory Services Risks & Issues Programme (DSRIP)

Technology is moving at a fast pace these days, as more of your IT infrastructure becomes integrated the background services become more and more critical to your organisation. Through Active Directory your organisation provides availability, authentication, and authorisiation of services to your customers and internal staff. A poorly managed or unhealthy Active Directory could result in significant loss of service, driving down productivity, and driving customers away.

Microsoft quote "Active Directory forms a critical backbone for the support of your enterprise's information structure. A poorly functioning Active Directory environment impacts security boundaries, replication, and delegate administration, causing significant impact to your business."

Our DSRIP programme provide critical insight into the health status of your Active Directory environment. Using proven methodologies our consultants will peform a thorough health check on the key components in your Active Directory, analysiing all domain controllers, name resolution services (DNS/WINS etc.), replication status, convergence, group policy, time synchronisation, operating system revisions and service packs, back & restore, and much more.

At the end of the engagement your company will receive an extensive report on the health status of your Active Directory infrastructure as well as a plan to remediate all issues discovered during the DSRIP process.

Many organisations have benefited from our DSRIP analysis from leading FTSE100 organisations, internet based companies and large education & research organisations.

Active Directory Consolidation Programme (ADCoP)

Over the years most organisations have evolved and many are now finding themselves supporting multiple Active Directory forests and domains. For many managing these multiple environments is slowly becoming an administrative headache; configuring and managing trust relationships, cross-domain/forest delegation, patch management, and the sheer number of supported domain controllers take their toll on often stretched resources.

Through our Active Directory Consolidation Program (ADCoP) we are able to consolidate these multiple environments into a single Active Directory forest, reducing the number of domain controllers in your environment, the need for many of your Active Directory trusts, and the overall complexity of your Active Directory infrastructure.

When engaged on a ADCoP we work with your organisation and key stakeholders to produce an Active Directory Consolidation Requirements document, migrate the resources from your Active Directory domains/forests whilst maintianing full access to all services and resources, and produce an Active Directory Consolidation Operations Guide which can be used as a blue print for future consolidations that your organisation many need to do in the future.
