Getting data moved over to a new server is more than merely copying the most recent files and folders to that machine. File security, permissions, shared folders and local groups facilitating access need to be maintained. 

This tool identifies the presence of all Windows applications installed on a specific computer or domain that you administrate. 

If users are the lynchpin of Identity Management, then groups are the catalyst to security and productivity. Your organization wants to provision users into Active Directory and keep that data accurate. When an organization provisions a user, they want them to be automatically added to the correct security groups and distribution lists. 

Active Directory becomes very complex to manage in Windows networks. Administrators leave, users are given elevated privileges, applications require special accounts - very soon you have an Active Directory full of security weaknesses. 

Human error and hardware or software failures can easily corrupt Active Directory. AD objects can often be modified or deleted by mistake and faulty scripts can overwrite attributes. The result is unplanned system downtime and lost user productivity. 

Windows Server 2008 R2 offers a number of exciting new features, including an expanded Server Core offering, new Active Directory features, and - of special interest to anyone who has ever wished Active Directory had an “undo” button - a sort of recycle bin for Active Directory objects. 

In this presentation transcript, IT author Jonathan Hassell walks you through some of the key changes made to R2 in three key areas: Active Directory, Group Policy and Terminal Services. 

This white paper focuses on best practices for implementing an enterprise Active Directory infrastructure using virtualization technology. We will discuss how to perform a full migration of your physical AD infrastructure to a virtualized environment. 

Active Directory certainly gets plenty of attention when it comes to high-profile issues like security, compliance, auditing, and so forth—but what about all of the work you do managing AD on a day-to-day basis? Learn how Quest ActiveRoles Server (ARS)makes AD administration more efficient, automated, consistent, powerful and faster.
