Group Policy Planning

Group Policy dictates consideration of organizational needs, service level agreements, security and IT requirements in your design. An effective Group Policy layout can yield benefits such as policy-based configurations for users and computers, software installation, scripts, folder redirection, IntelliMirror, and client desktop lockdown configurations.

Organizational Unit Structure and Delegated Security Models

A superior Organizational Unit design will be modeled on how your business is managed. Smaller organizations may only need a flat Organizational Unit (OU), while a larger company may need a deep OU Structure with a delegated administration model. Whatever your needs may be, the resulting solution should be easy to manage and troubleshoot.

File Server Resources with DFS and DFS-R

A Distributed File System (DFS) can be valuable when users require uninterrupted access to data stored on multiple file servers. Benelec can create a DFS implementation for your company to allow employee file access via transparent connection. A DFS-Replication can be implemented to ensure the high availability and fault tolerance of these resources. No matter how many file servers you have, your organization could benefit from a DFS.

Disaster Recovery

Benelec can implement a disaster recovery solution to minimize downtime created by corruption of directory configuration and Group Policy data. This will assist with critical service level agreement requirements and help you comply with external regulations. Whether you wish to restore a single object, or need a complete forest recovery, we have the experience to design a customized Active Directory recovery plan.

Network Infrastructure

Benelec can analyze your current infrastructure to develop a configuration for essential network services deeply tied into Active Directory such as DNS, DHCP and WINS. We can plan your DNS-Replication strategy with details like DNS updates and zone transfer topologies. All of our designs and deployments create a reliable and robust solution and are based on Microsoft best practices.

Migration and Restructuring

Benelec offers a variety of comprehensive restructuring services and migrations including Win2K and other cross platforms to Active Directory. We also have Active Directory to Active Directory migration services including, but not limited to, domain collapse and expansion, resource domain consolidations, and Inter- and Intra- forest migrations.

Any Active Directory implementation from Benelec reduces the total ownership cost of the network infrastructure, improving the processes and tasks related to its maintenance, administration and efficiency.
