Project Part 1: Application Security

 
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 Active Directory?
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].)
