To: Westlake Olive top management

From: Michael Boddie

Re: Steps needed to create Active directory domain

Following the decision made by the management to diversify the product range by producing whole olives as well as olive oil and considering that a decision was made for the product to be sold by a separate company; Westlake Produce, for financial reasons, our team therefore needs to configure and administer a new domain, westlakeproduce.local across both sides. To create a new sites, five steps are followed as highlighted below:

a) Navigate to the server manager then tools then active directory sites and services

b) In active directory sites and service windows; right click sites and select new site

c) Enter the site name in the box

d) Select the DEFAULTTIPSITELINK and click OK

e) Click OK so as to complete the site creation

To add users in each location, the best method to do this is using PowerShell to import ad users from a csv file. The first step is to setup a csv file, the csv file must contain five fields which are firstname, lastname, username, password, and ou. The csv file must also contain the 10 users. The second step is to setup the PowerShell script. The last step, is to run the powershell script to import the user accounts. To perform the above activities requires a maximum of 25 hours. This means the estimated costs of the project based on a standard rate of 25 dollars per hour is 625 dollars.

Thank you
