Windows and Active Directory
Windows, Active Directory, and other Microsoft technologies are critical infrastructure building blocks for many organizations. Services like Active Directory must perform at lightning speed, and they must be highly available and tremendously secure. AppliedTrust’s team of Microsoft Certified Professionals can assist with all aspects of Microsoft infrastructure—from design to operations, and from implementation to troubleshooting.
Some of the Windows engineering we do on a regular basis includes:
- AD forest architecture and domain object structure cleanup—sites, OUs, groups, etc.
- Assistance with domain upgrades, trust relationships, and domain mergers
- GPO and security template planning and troubleshooting
- Performance and availability analysis and optimization
- System and network administrator coverage and backfill
- New system and service security certification
- Server virtualization using VMware and Hyper-V
Our approach balances the use of Microsoft-branded solutions, open-source technology, and third-party tools: unlike competitors who have incentives to recommend a specific vendor’s solution, AppliedTrust helps our clients select the best, most cost-effective solutions for their unique business.
At AppliedTrust, we pride ourselves on our broad range of expertise, which combines deep Microsoft experience with a broad understanding of other technologies and environments, such as networking, Linux, and Citrix. Our engineers are particularly strong at tackling problems in heterogeneous environments that combine different technologies and require different IT skill sets. So if your organization is experiencing finger-pointing between different IT groups, we can help by identifying and resolving the root cause of your Windows or Active Directory issue.
