Do you know what the scariest thing about Active Directory is?
ANSWER: Many serious problems go undetected until there is a major outage as a result.
Your entire business runs on your Active Directory. Whether you realize it or not, Active Directory is one of the most important pieces of your IT infrastructure. Without a properly functioning AD, your users can't login, databases stop functioning, emails stop flowing, and money is lost.
Why wait for disaster to strike before finding out that Active Directory isn't healthy?
As part of my FREE Active Directory Health Assessment, I will perform the following:
AD Replication Validation: I'll confirm that all domain controllers are replicating AD properly and that there are not replication failures
Group Policy Availability Check: Policies not applying properly? Permissions may be broken or, worse, the policies themselves may be invalid.
Time Sync Configuration Verification: Kerberos authentication relies on proper time synchronization. I'll confirm time sync is working as it should be.
Domain Controller Health Check: Unhealthy or over-utilized domain controllers will cause all kinds of unexpected problems in your environment.
DNS Replication Health Check: Nothing causes more problems in an AD environment than an unhealthy DNS infrastructure. I'll ensure DNS is updating and replicating properly.
DNS Hierarchy Validation: Most DNS infrastructures have improperly configured DNS hierarchies. I'll ensure your DNS hierarchy is properly configured.
Orphaned Domain Controller Check: Almost every Active Directory I encounter sports a few orphaned domain controllers, which can cause all kinds of replication failures. I'll identify orphaned DCs in your AD environment.
FSMO Role Health Check: There are five FSMO roles in your Active Directory. If any one is malfunctioning, you are going to start seeing authentication and replication problems. I'll confirm all of your FSMO role holders are functioning properly.
Active Directory Site Configuration Validation: Virtually every AD I encounter features incorrectly configured Sites and Services. This negatively impacts user logons and AD replication. I'll confirm AD Sites and Services are configured properly.
O365 Readiness Check: Planning a move to Office 365? Better make sure your Active Directory is healthy because if it's not, it is going to stop your migration dead in its tracks. I'll check to see what AD issues might impact a move to the cloud.
Upon completion of this FREE two-hour assessment, I will provide you with a full report of my findings and remediation recommendations.
