Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Domain Services

Assumptions

To limit the scope of material in this guide, the following assumptions have been made:

• The decision to implement Active Directory has already been made. This guide does not address the business or technical case to make a directory choice.

• This design is for use in a production environment. It is expected that a test environment will also be created to mirror the production environment in configuration.

• The reader has familiarity with the Microsoft infrastructure and directory services. This guide does not attempt to educate the reader on the features and capabilities of Microsoft products. The product documentation covers that information.
