Assignments AnswerYou are the IT Manager of Skywalker Space Shuttles Inc. Your company has budgeted $30,000 for you to update the Domain infrastructure. The budget amount is based on the manual assessment you made of the current server status which is currently running on Server 2008. The Active Directory database has corrupted beyond repair, so AD will have to start over.The goals for this upgrade is as follows:Easiest Migration method to Server 2012 R2 (will need to determine the OS users will use)Need Active Directory for single-person log on. Currently have 25 users but have 10 new employees starting in 3 months.Need to add Exchange email services to the DomainNeed to implement a Backup and disaster recovery infrastructureNeed to make sure the Forest/Domain is secure.Provide your best solution for the above mention upgrade goals and submit for credit. Be very detailed and show costs for CALS, Server OS, Server, and Office 365 (if used).Example of Answer: (DO NOT COPY THIS ANSWER)Server hardware itself needs to be replaced and the Server version to use will be Windows Server2012 Standard because there is no limit on users (total users for now will be 35)The server hardware will be a 3.0GHZ 64bit processor with 8GB or RAM. There will be 2 internal Hard Drives with 500GB each. Not sure if these will be mirrored or not. Active Directory will be on this server. Estimated cost for the server and OS around $10,000Will need to purchase 25 CALS to start and then add 10 more CALS. Total cost on CALS is: $2625.00Because of the previous corruption of Active Directory, the Greenfield migration method will be used. Complete start over with a new Forest and new Active Directory Database.All the users are currently on Windows 10 Pro and will stay on their current PC systems and OS. Upgrade to new PCs for the users will be done later down the line.To add Exchange email services, Office 365 E3 license will be implemented for each user. Will migrate the users to Exchange online which will provide each user with 100GB for their mailbox. In addition, Office 365 will provide each uses access to OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Server Online, Skype for Business, and many other features. By introducing Office 365 into the domain, Office 365 will provide disaster recovery for Exchange, OneDrive, and SharePoint. Email backups can be enhanced with online archiving for each user’s mailbox. And with Office 365, the need for additional servers for Email will be eliminated. Cost of E3 License will be $240.00 per use for a total of $8,400 per year (annual service fee). Also with Office 365 and Azure, AD logon can be implemented and Azure can be used to perform backups of the Servers and the users Workstations.Total estimated cost for the IT upgrade and Migration = $21,025.00 (before tax)Sensitivity: Internal
