It 240 Week 6

August 25, 2013

My Microsoft Windows 2000-based office network has three different domains: ALPHA, BETA, and OMEGA. All three of these are located in the same Directory tree and different account access needs to be granted to these domains.

First, I need to input the three different domains on the server. After the ALPHA, BETA, and OMEGA domains names have been set, the next step is setting application permissions for the User Accounts. There will be different user accounts set up. Some users will have access to the ALPHA domain and have access to some resources in the OMEGA domain. Users in the OMEGA domain however will not have access to the ALPHA domain. These will be created in the Active Directory Users and Computers. These folders will be used to organize the user accounts, or these separate work groups, and grant access to these particular work groups.

In Active Directory Users and Computers, three folders will be created: ALPHA, BETA, and OMEGA. This will be accomplished by adding users as members through the New Object-Group option. Under groups, I could name the folders ALPHA Users, BETA Users, and OMEGA Users. For each of these user accounts, there will be a password assigned for each login. The next step will be deciding the group scope.

There are options for Domain local, Global, and Universal. For user accounts in the ALPHA domain, I will set up these users under the Global scope as they will have access to ALPHA and some resources from the OMEGA domain. The users in the ALPHA group will also be added a to Domain local scope in the OMEGA domain so permissions can be added to those accounts to have access to some OMEGA resources. APLHA, BETA, and OMEGA will be set up as Global group’s scopes, but only those users from ALPHA will have access to resources outside of their own domain, the other two domains will have access only to their specific domain.

After each group is created,...
