Contoso, Ltd., is a software development company. The company has a main office in Seattle and branch offices that are located in Los Angeles and New Delhi. Contoso’s sales staff are all located in the Los Angeles office. Contoso’s software developers are all located in the New Delhi office.

Current Environment

The network for the Seattle office contains:

• 2 domain controllers with integrated DNS

• 200 Windows workstations

• 14-node Hyper-V cluster

• 1 file server with multiple shares

• 1 Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) cluster

The network for the Los Angeles office contains:

• 2 domain controllers with integrated DNS

• 1 file server with multiple shares

The network for the New Delhi office contains:

• 2 domain controllers with integrated DNS

• 300 Windows workstations

• 10 Hyper-V servers that host 100 development virtual machines (VMs)

• 50 production virtual machines that are hosted in Azure

All the Contoso offices connect to each other by using VPN links, and each office is connected to the Internet.

Contoso has a single Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named contoso.com. Contoso.com has a configured certification authority (CA). Contoso currently leverages System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2 to manage its virtual environment servers.

Contoso uses an application named HRApp1 for its human resources (HR) department. HR users report that the application stops responding and must be restarted before they can continue their work.

Fabrikam, Inc.

Contoso has recently acquired Fabrikam, Inc. Fabrikam has a single office that is located in Seattle.

The network for Fabrikam contains:

• 2 domain controllers with Active Directory-integrated DNS

• 150 Windows workstations

• 5 Hyper-V servers

A two-way trust exists between Contoso.com and Fabrikam.com.

Business Requirements

Consolidation

Contoso must complete the consolidation of the Contoso and Fabrikam networks.

The consolidation of the two networks must:

• Minimize WAN traffic.

• Enable the users by providing self-service whenever possible.

Security

Contoso requires that all Windows client devices must be encrypted with BitLocker by using the Trusted Platform.

The CA for the domain contoso.com must be designated as the resource forest. The domain fabrikam.com must leverage certificates that are issued by the domain contoso.com.
