http://serverfault.com – Please assist me in how I design my active directory hierarchy based on the following. We have a corporate office where there 8-10 departments and 200+ <250 users are present. We have two factories and one site office in different geographical locations. They all are connected via VPN. In our factory there is an average of 150 users and in the site office there are 30/35 users. Currently we are planning to implement AD in our head office only. But we must consider the future development in our factory and site office. All our PCs are Windows XP and few of them are Win7 we are slowly migra (HowTos)

Stories similar to Active Directory Design

I asked a qestion here before Active Directory Design and got some well responses.

We have a web server hosted out of our office, and it works fine when people access the site from outside the office.

The problem is that when people are inside the office and go to the website (www.example.com) it's very slow, as it goes out over the internet and comes back in.

Or LAN is Windows with Active Directory and our web server is CentOS with its own internet connection.

How can I set

I have a head office and a number of suboffices. Both head office and suboffices need to access some corporate server, which is physically in the head office. But suboffices should not be able to access head office or each other.

Client has got many sub-offices, and one head office. Headoffice has a domain name: business.com

all users in the many sub-offices need to have a headoffice email address: user.name@business.com Anyone not in head office will need the email forwarded to an external email address. All users in head office will have their email delivered to exchange. Users are listed in active directory under 2 dif

Imagine the following: you are asked to design, from the ground up, an internal network for 100 employees of an organization. The users consist of an even mix of your average Windows, Linux, and Mac users (by average, I mean they're regular office workers who click on random pop-ups, not developers/etc).

Site-to-site VPN 32 weeks 3 days ago

We are a small business company that is based in Sydney and opened a new office in London.

Number of employees in Sydney office is 25 and in London is 6 employees.

So the traffic isn't that high. Files to be transferred are

Excel sheets with size of 15mb max.

Both locations have

MS server 2008 and Fortigate gateways.

I set up a site to site vpn but it's extremely slow.

I'm looking to setup Active directory for my workplace. We have a main office in Ohio and two remote offices in Texas and California.

Info: My company has a base office in Little Rock and we are setting up a remote office in Virginia with approximately 30 users. We do A LOT of SQL and Oracle data manipulation (heavy processing). The SAN and servers that do this processing will stay in Little Rock.

Now for the question: What would be the ideal way to connect 30 users to the office in Little Rock.

With the MS Office 2010 released, it becomes a big and hot topic in both users and PC tech elites. More and more people are talking about whether MS Office 2010 is a worthwhile invention or enjoy undeserved fame？Well, let’s come into the discussion group and have a look.
