IT489A Northern Virginia Community College Active Directory System Research This research paper required to research different articles that talked about the active directory system. Below is an uploaded document that will show the requirement of this research paper. It is a five pages paper in total. The project that I am doing is on active directory system
I’m also going to upload a document of my project proposal so that you can have an
understanding of my project.
All research projects and thesis must include a search and review of relevant literature. This
should provide background for the project and/or provide the basis for the methodologies being
used in the project. For example, if you are developing a Web site for a customer, you might
focus on the software tools you use and when they might be used or a topic such as usability, if
that is your focus.
You are to locate research articles on your pre-approved topic. You are to write a no shorter than
5 page summary (double spaced) of the general theme(s) of these articles as it pertains to your
topic. This summary should serve as the background/foundation for your research project. You
are expected to provide comparison and contrast of findings from different articles and discuss
the limitations, gaps and controversies (if there is any) that exist in the literature. A reference
listing the articles should also be included at the end of your review (this does not count toward
your page limit).It is anticipated that you will review 10 – 15 scholarly articles, technical Web
sites, or books. APA latest edition

Objective
Information is a very vital asset for every organization. In today’s office setting, especially
big organization with lots of employees that can work offsite and onsite, there has been lots of
data loss and misuses of company information. The problem of computer manipulation by
employees and unauthorized users has been a great challenge for big and small companies.
Therefore, for this project, I’m going building and demonstrate how windows active
directory system work using windows Hyper-V virtualization platform to manage user,
computer, and network setting. This will help limit the level of user’s access in dealing with
company information and their network infrastructure. With this active directory system
implementation, not only will it reduce users’ manipulations and distortion of information, but it
will ensure that before one could log into or access a specific setting using the networked
computers, that users should have administrative permission to access any company files. This
method will ensure that the company system and data are safe and protected from bad actors.
Client
This Active directory service system that I’m building can be used by both big and small
companies to help safeguard their network system. Even schools can use this system too set
permission that will give students, professors, and other staff members within the school
organization different levels of access within the network.
Project Plan
The project plan for creating this server is made up of various steps that would be tested and
discussed. The first step for this project is I do research and gather all the necessary tools needed
to begin building the system. For this whole projects I’m going to use my computer as the host
system that is running windows 10 operating system. To begin with the project, I will enable the
Hyper-V role within my windows 10 system that will allow me to create different virtual
machines that are required. We will begin by installing windows 2012 r2 server and then a
couple of client operating systems like windows 10, 7, and Linux system. After then, I will then
promote the windows 2012 server to a domain controller, and I will make the other client
computers join the domain; therefore, all the systems will be part of the same domain. I will also
install Pfsense, which is a software, and it will act as a firewall/router that will be the bridge to
connect our internal system and external network. I will also have to download and buy the
product keys for the different windows operating systems above. This whole server system setup
is going to take about one to two months to set up and keep running fully.
Resources
The different resources needed to complete this application vary from hardware to
software. The only hardware needed for this program is my personal computer running windows
10 professional operating system with 16 GB RAM. The windows 10 professional on my
computer have a Hyper-V feature that the windows 10 Home lacks. All the virtual machines are
going to be built in the Hyper-V virtualization platform. The rest of the other resources needed
are software bases like Windows 10, 7, pfsense, and server 2012 iso image. The iso image can be
downloaded for free Microsoft website, but then I must buy the product key for all the iso images
for me to be able to install and run the operating system.
Expected Outcome
After completing the whole windows 2012 server installation, I would then be able to
promote it to the domain controller and set up an active directory services system. This will
allow us to set permission within our company IT infrastructure that will help secure the
company from any user login into the server. This service will also enable the system admin to
monitor user activities within the server. With the active directory service, you can create users
and join them to different groups, and you can also create client virtual machines and join them
to the domain, you can also set password policies for users. All these features will help secure
your company from employee misuse of information and any form of data breach.
Knowledge Being Applied
As a senior at Marymount University majoring in information technology, this would be a
pleasant experience. I have been exposed to different courses that have helped me in building
this active directory service system. My understanding of cloud computing has boosted my
knowledge of going further with this project.
Risk Factors
Some risk factors that I might come across are being unable to acquire the necessary software
or hardware required.
