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’s 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 can be improved dramatically through careful DNS, Policy and Global structure design.
The findings from the Health Check (carried out by an experienced Senior Microsoft Consultant) are generated into a comprehensive report. The TI Group also provide an on-site management and technical briefing following a completed Health Check in order to explain our findings and recommendations and discuss the benefits that can be achieved through implementing them.
