Implementing Active Directory
Consider that you have to design the Active Directory structure for a financial organization that has 10 sites throughout the country and 5 major departments at each site. The sites are located in the following cities: Detroit, MI; New York City, NY; Chicago, IL; Phoenix, AZ; San Diego CA; Tampa, FL; Boston, Massachusetts; Nashville, Tennessee; Toledo, OH; Indianapolis, IN. (Each city should have it's own domain with the New York site being the Forest Root Domain and the domain name is NationalFinances.com).
There are five major departments:

• Financial
• Sales
• Call Center
• Information Technology
• Project Management

Each department will need to store files specific to their department.

• How would you design your Active Directory structure?

What are the various questions you should ask yourself to determine your design?

• How should the servers be named, as the main server will be NationalFinanaces.com?
• What will be the role of the server in this structure? Defend your reasoning.
• What would be the OUs and the computer users and groups in your design?

Criteria:

• Did you present a design of the Active Directory structure?
• Did you explain how you would name the servers?
• Did you describe the OUs and the computer users and groups in your design?

Please add reference sheet in APA formatting if sites are used.
