Abstract

Active Directory is Microsoft trademarked directory service, an integral part of the Windows 2000 architecture and later server operating systems. Like other directory services, such as Novell Directory Services (NDS), Active Directory is a centralized and standardized system that automates network management of user data, security, and distributed resources, and enables interoperation with other directories.

A well-structured Active Directory hierarchy requires a well-defined underlying network infrastructure in which AD forest is built upon. The design shows Cisco best practices in terms of providing layered approach by segmenting the traffic and streamlining network traffic ultimately providing redundancy, scalability and traffic efficiency.

To demonstrate both Microsoft AD and Cisco network layout a fictive company was created for which both technologies and show why are they so important.
