Active Directory Health Check

Active Directory Domain and Domain Name Services can severely affect network performance and greatly impact on user response and experience. Simple changes to a domain can affect its integrity and it is important to be sure that problems aren’t replicated across the forest as maintenance is carried out. This is especially critical before schema operations and domain migrations.

The TI Group Active Directory Health Check is designed to ensure Microsoft ’Best Practise’ and certify that the Domain services are configured to account for business requirements across the whole organisation. User  access and response times are improved dramatically through careful DNS, Policy and Global structure design. Out of the Health Check (conducted by a senior Microsoft consultant) a comprehensive report and recommendations are generated. The TI Group also provide an on site management and technical briefing following the Health Check to explain our recommendations and discuss the benefits that can be achieved.
