COMPANY OVERVIEW
Litware, Inc. is a manufacturing company that has amain office and two branch office.
The main office is located in Montreal. The branch offices are located in Seattle and New York.
The main office has 4,000 users. The branch officeseach have 500 users.
PLANNED CHANGES
Litware plans to open a new sales office. The salesoffice will have a direct connection to the Internet. The
sales office will have a single server.
The sales office requires a connection to the Montreal office. The connection to the Montreal office must
use either TCP port 80 or TCP port 443.
The network currently contains a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN). A new iSCSI SAN will be
implemented during the next month. The current SAN and the new SAN are from different manufacturers.
Both SANs use a virtual disk service (VDS) interface.
EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
All servers run Windows Server 2008 R2. All client computers run Windows 7 Enterprise.
The main office has a single DHCP server. The IP addresses for all of the client computers must be
assigned from the DHCP server.
All software is installed from a central software distribution point in the main office. Software deployments
for the branch offices frequently fail due to bandwidth limitations.
Existing Active Directory/Directory Services
The network contains a single Active Directory domain named litwareinc.com. Each office has two domain
controllers.
Current Administration Model
Currently, all help desk users have full administrator rights to the servers. The help desk users use Remote
Desktop to log on to the servers and perform tasks such as managing Active Directory user accounts and
creating DHCP reservations.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Windows Firewall must be managed by using the minimum amount of administrative effort. Windows
Firewall configurations must be duplicated easily between servers that have the same server role.
Litware must centralize the monitoring of critical system events. The monitoring solution must use the
existing infrastructure.
Litware plans to prevent help desk users from interactively logging on to servers. Help desk users must not
have full administrator rights to the servers.
The software deployment process must be updated to meet the following requirements:
Application source files must be centrally managed.
Software deployments to the offices in Seattle and New York must remain unaffected if a WAN link fails.
The SANs must be administered by using a single tool.
