Domain Structure Design
Active directory domain structure is the structural
representation of an organizational active directory in terms of
showcasing how its forest, containers and objects are organized
and how they function within the whole concept of the AD DS
(active directory domain services).
Great care and attention to detail should be taken when
designing a domain structure so as to ensure that the derived
design showcases scalability, security, and efficiency, in both
user and resource infrastructure utilization. Some of the best
practices put in mind during domain design include proper
planning, be it for growth, maintenance, risk management,
understanding requirements and generally following accepted
standards. The benefits reaped from best practices include:
· Simplified management of large windows networks containing
numerous objects
· A compact domain structure resulting in reduced cost of
administration
· Reduced consumption of network bandwidth
· Low total cost of ownership
· Easy resource sharing
· Easy delegation of resources as needed.
· Optimum performance in searching
A well-designed domain structure will also ensure that there is
efficient integration of important features like desktop
lockdown, group policies, software distribution and also
effective administration of groups, users, servers and
workstations.
In the design of this organizational domain structure the above
mentioned best practices and considerations were put in place
so as to ensure that interrelationship, resource sharing,
management and even communication in the organization
remains as efficient as possible.
STRUCTURAL DESIGN
For a company such as this one with a centralized IT/IS
administration and within the same city, it is preferred to use a
single forest that will host all the other domain and or
organizational units containing site objects in the active
directory domain services(AD DS). Doing so will promote a
clear understanding and will enforce what this four core terms
(forest, domain, organizational units and site objects) in our
design really mean.
A forest is the uppermost functional level in the active directory
domain service, this is usually the first domain in the forest and
it acts like the topmost container that houses all the other
domain containers in the active directory. The name of this
domain is usually the name of the forest, e.g. corporate.intl the
other entire domain will exhibit this name throughout their
domain names, to conclude on forest they generally act as a
security boundary for information contained in the AD instance.
Secondly we have the domain that can be defined as a collection
of defined objects that are managed as a unit and have a shared
common database directory, same security policies and a trust
relationship with other domains.
Lastly organizational units can be defined as container objects
that facilitate arrangement of other objects like people,
computers and devices in the organization in a manner that both
facilitate and support administrative purposes.
As stated above our design was to comprise a single forest from
which all the other objects were to arise from. We have three
domains where each domain has its own domain controller to
facilitate authentication, identification, and replication, also
manage trust relationship among the three domains in the forest.
The domain controllers recommended for implementation use
Kerberos version 5 which was used for authentication purposes
in the AD DS. In the organization domain structure, shortcut
relationships are used to facilitate interaction since we only
needed communication between the different domains within the
same forest.
Most or almost all the shortcut relationships used were one-way
transitive trust in that two domain would communicate but only
in one direction so as to facilitate the domain holding the
executives department will be able to communicate to gain
access to the other domains without them gaining access to it.
Generally in this design, the domain belonging to the executives
has a trust path (a collection of trust relationships that must be
followed by authentication request between communicating
domains) that were fully two-way transitive up to the forest
root. From there the paths became one directional only in that
authentication control between the remaining domains was
downward and not upward.
Now after establishing appropriate trust relationship among
domains organizational units were created in each of the
respective organizational departments, the organizational units
contained the various grouped objects that were in use by the
particular departments.
The organizational units are enforced in a transitive two way
trust relationships among the objects so as to ensure that
members in the different objects have full access to each other
as long as they fall within the same organizational unit in the
same domain.
The Figure below displays overall domain structure:
CONCLUSION
At the end of this design the 100 organizational employees,
computers and other organizational devices like printers,
scanners and servers in the three locations will be well spread
across the organizational network infrastructure with each
employee having appropriate privileges to be able to perform
his/her tasks as outlined and without anyone being able to get
access to what he/she is not supposed to access. This quality
and effective domain structure design will provide efficiency,
scalability, security and capacity for appropriate manageability
as required.

RUNNING HEAD DOMAIN STRUCTURE DESIGNDOMAIN STRUCTURE DESIGN.docx

  • 1. RUNNING HEAD: DOMAIN STRUCTURE DESIGN DOMAIN STRUCTURE DESIGN Domain Structure Design Todd Whitlock POS 421 December 14th, 2014 Robert Singer Domain Structure Design Active directory domain structure is the structural representation of an organizational active directory in terms of showcasing how its forest, containers and objects are organized and how they function within the whole concept of the AD DS (active directory domain services). Great care and attention to detail should be taken when
  • 2. designing a domain structure so as to ensure that the derived design showcases scalability, security, and efficiency, in both user and resource infrastructure utilization. Some of the best practices put in mind during domain design include proper planning, be it for growth, maintenance, risk management, understanding requirements and generally following accepted standards. The benefits reaped from best practices include: · Simplified management of large windows networks containing numerous objects · A compact domain structure resulting in reduced cost of administration · Reduced consumption of network bandwidth · Low total cost of ownership · Easy resource sharing · Easy delegation of resources as needed. · Optimum performance in searching A well-designed domain structure will also ensure that there is efficient integration of important features like desktop lockdown, group policies, software distribution and also effective administration of groups, users, servers and workstations. In the design of this organizational domain structure the above mentioned best practices and considerations were put in place so as to ensure that interrelationship, resource sharing, management and even communication in the organization remains as efficient as possible. STRUCTURAL DESIGN For a company such as this one with a centralized IT/IS administration and within the same city, it is preferred to use a single forest that will host all the other domain and or organizational units containing site objects in the active directory domain services(AD DS). Doing so will promote a clear understanding and will enforce what this four core terms (forest, domain, organizational units and site objects) in our design really mean. A forest is the uppermost functional level in the active directory
  • 3. domain service, this is usually the first domain in the forest and it acts like the topmost container that houses all the other domain containers in the active directory. The name of this domain is usually the name of the forest, e.g. corporate.intl the other entire domain will exhibit this name throughout their domain names, to conclude on forest they generally act as a security boundary for information contained in the AD instance. Secondly we have the domain that can be defined as a collection of defined objects that are managed as a unit and have a shared common database directory, same security policies and a trust relationship with other domains. Lastly organizational units can be defined as container objects that facilitate arrangement of other objects like people, computers and devices in the organization in a manner that both facilitate and support administrative purposes. As stated above our design was to comprise a single forest from which all the other objects were to arise from. We have three domains where each domain has its own domain controller to facilitate authentication, identification, and replication, also manage trust relationship among the three domains in the forest. The domain controllers recommended for implementation use Kerberos version 5 which was used for authentication purposes in the AD DS. In the organization domain structure, shortcut relationships are used to facilitate interaction since we only needed communication between the different domains within the same forest. Most or almost all the shortcut relationships used were one-way transitive trust in that two domain would communicate but only in one direction so as to facilitate the domain holding the executives department will be able to communicate to gain access to the other domains without them gaining access to it. Generally in this design, the domain belonging to the executives has a trust path (a collection of trust relationships that must be followed by authentication request between communicating domains) that were fully two-way transitive up to the forest root. From there the paths became one directional only in that
  • 4. authentication control between the remaining domains was downward and not upward. Now after establishing appropriate trust relationship among domains organizational units were created in each of the respective organizational departments, the organizational units contained the various grouped objects that were in use by the particular departments. The organizational units are enforced in a transitive two way trust relationships among the objects so as to ensure that members in the different objects have full access to each other as long as they fall within the same organizational unit in the same domain. The Figure below displays overall domain structure: CONCLUSION At the end of this design the 100 organizational employees, computers and other organizational devices like printers, scanners and servers in the three locations will be well spread across the organizational network infrastructure with each employee having appropriate privileges to be able to perform his/her tasks as outlined and without anyone being able to get access to what he/she is not supposed to access. This quality and effective domain structure design will provide efficiency, scalability, security and capacity for appropriate manageability as required. References Liu C. and Albitz P.(2006).
