Q3.) 

Scenario

Assume you are an entry-level security administrator working for Always Fresh. You have been asked to evaluate the option of adding Active Directory to the company’s network.

Tasks

Create a summary report to management that answers the following questions to satisfy the key points of interest regarding the addition of Active Directory to the network:

1.  System administrators currently create users on each computer where users need access. In Active Directory, where will system administrators create users?

2.  How will the procedures for making changes to the user accounts, such as password changes, be different in ActiveDirectory?

3.  What action should administrators take for the existing workgroup user accounts after converting to Active Directory?

4.  How will the administrators resolve differences between user accounts defined on different computers? In other words, if user accounts have different settings on different computers, how will Active Directory address that issue? (Hint: Consider security identifiers [SIDs].)
