Case Study: 1
Humongous Insurance
Scenario:
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Humongous Insurance has a main office and 20 branch offices. The main office is located in
New York. The branch offices are located throughout North America. The main office has
8,000 users. Each branch office has 2 to 250 users.
PLANNED CHANGES
Humongous Insurance plans to implement Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption (BitLocker)
on all servers.
EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
The network contains servers that run either Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or
Windows Server 2008 R2. All client computers run either Windows 7 Enterprise or Windows
Vista Enterprise.
Business Goals
Humongous Insurance wants to minimize costs whenever possible.
Existing Active Directory/Directory Services
The network contains a single Active Directory forest named humongousinsurance.com. The
forest contains two child domains named north.humongousinsurance.com and
south.humongousinsurance.com. The functional level of the forest is Windows Server 2008
R2.
Existing Network Infrastructure
Each child domain contains a Web server that has Internet Information Services (IIS)
installed. The forest root domain contains three Web servers that have IIS installed. The Web
servers in the forest root domain are configured in a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster.
Currently, all of the Web servers use a single domain user account as a service account.
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is used for company-wide patch management. The
WSUS servers do not store updates locally. The network contains Remote Desktop servers
that run Windows Server 2008 R2. Users in the sales department access a line-of-business
Application by using Remote Desktop. Managers in the sales department use the Application
to generate reports. Generating the reports is CPU intensive. The sales managers report that
when many users are connected to the servers, the reports take a long time to process.
Humongous Insurance has the following standard server builds:
• Class 1 – Dual x64 CPUs, 4-GB RAM, Windows Web Server 2008 R2
• Class 2 – Dual x64 CPUs, 4-GB RAM, Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
• Class 3 – Quad x64 CPUs, 8-GB RAM, Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
• Class 4 – Quad x64 CPUs, 8-GB RAM, Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
Current Administration Model
Humongous Insurance currently uses the following technologies to manage the network:
• Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack

• Multiple versions of a Group Policy object (GPO) must be maintained in a central
archive to facilitate a rol required.
The management of passwords and service principal names (SPNs) for all service accounts
must be automated whenever possible.
