Key Features of Active Directory Management by ITFTS LLC
Active Directory Design and Deployment
ITFTS LLC specializes in the design and deployment of Active Directory infrastructure tailored to the unique needs of each business. This includes setting up domains, organizational units (OUs), group policies, and trusts to ensure the AD environment is structured efficiently and securely. ITFTS LLC ensures the environment is scalable, considering future growth and the addition of resources to the network.
User and Group Management
One of the primary functions of Active Directory is managing users and groups. ITFTS LLC takes care of creating, modifying, and deactivating user accounts, as well as managing their permissions and access to network resources. The company also helps in organizing users into groups for easier management and access control. Group policies are configured to ensure appropriate access to resources based on roles within the organization.
Security and Access Control
Security is a top priority in any IT environment, and AD is no exception. ITFTS LLC ensures that best practices in Active Directory security are followed, implementing measures like multi-factor authentication (MFA), strong password policies, and account lockout policies to protect against unauthorized access. The team also configures role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure users have the right level of access to resources. Delegated administration and audit logging are also part of the security measures put in place to minimize risk and ensure compliance with internal security protocols.
Group Policy Management
ITFTS LLC provides expert management of Group Policy Objects (GPOs), which define the configuration settings and security policies applied to users and computers across the network. The company configures GPOs to enforce password policies, control user privileges, deploy software, and configure desktop settings to ensure consistency and compliance. ITFTS LLC also provides GPO troubleshooting and optimization services to ensure that the policies are effective and do not create conflicts in the environment.
Active Directory Health Monitoring and Reporting
Continuous monitoring of the Active Directory environment is essential to detect potential issues before they become problems. ITFTS LLC offers 24/7 monitoring of AD services, ensuring that domain controllers, replication processes, and DNS services are functioning properly. The team also provides regular health checks and generates detailed reports that highlight any performance or security issues. This proactive approach helps mitigate downtime and ensures that AD remains efficient and available for business operations.
Backup and Disaster Recovery
Active Directory data is critical to business operations, and ITFTS LLC offers backup and disaster recovery solutions to ensure business continuity in the event of an unexpected failure or breach. ITFTS LLC creates and manages regular AD backups and provides strategies for restoring AD in case of data corruption, accidental deletions, or security breaches. This service ensures that the organization can quickly recover from disruptions, minimizing downtime and data loss.
AD Replication Management
Active Directory relies on replication to ensure that data is consistent across all domain controllers. ITFTS LLC manages the replication process to prevent issues related to data inconsistency. The team ensures that the replication topology is optimized, minimizing latency and potential conflicts. ITFTS LLC also monitors replication health to ensure that changes made on one domain controller are accurately and promptly replicated across the network.
Active Directory Cleanup
Over time, Active Directory environments can become cluttered with stale, inactive, or duplicate objects, including user accounts, groups, and computers. ITFTS LLC performs regular AD cleanups, removing obsolete accounts and objects, which helps improve AD performance and reduce security risks. Cleaning up AD also ensures that user permissions are accurate, and access rights are properly enforced.
Migration Services
ITFTS LLC offers Active Directory migration services, whether migrating to a newer version of Windows Server or consolidating multiple AD domains into a single environment. The company ensures that the migration process is smooth and non-disruptive, preserving existing configurations and security settings during the transition. ITFTS LLC also handles the migration of users, groups, and organizational units, ensuring minimal impact on daily operations.
Azure Active Directory Integration
As businesses increasingly adopt cloud technologies, integrating on-premise Active Directory with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) becomes essential. ITFTS LLC helps businesses extend their on-premise AD to the cloud, allowing users to access both cloud-based and on-premise resources with a single set of credentials. This integration supports features like Single Sign-On (SSO), identity synchronization, and hybrid environments.
