Trey Research
Scenario
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Trey Research is a pharmaceutical company that has a main office and two branch offices.
The main office is located in Denver. The branch offices are located in New York and
Seattle. The main office has 10,000 users. Each branch office has approximately 200 users.
PLANNED CHANGES
You plan to deploy a new Application named App1. App1 is developed in-house. The binary
executables and support files for App1 contain sensitive intellectual property. Users must
access App1 through document invocation. The users must be prevented from directly
copying or accessing the App1 program files.
EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
The network contains a single Active Directory domain named treyresearch.com. All servers
run Windows Server 2008 R2. All client computers run Windows 7 Enterprise. The network
contains a Web server named Web1 that hosts an intranet site. All users use Web1. Users
report that access to the content on Web1 is slow. You discover that the CPU utilization of
Web1 is approximately 90 percent during peak hours. Microsoft System Center
Configuration Manager is used to deploy updates to all of the client computers.
Existing Network Infrastructure
Each office has several file servers. The file servers have a limited amount of storage space.
Users access the data on all of the file servers. Each branch office has a WAN link to the
main office. Users in the branch office frequently access the file server in the main office.
Current Administration Model
All servers are currently administered remotely by using Remote Desktop. Help desk users
perform the following administrative tasks in the domain:
• Manage printers.
• Create shared folders.
• Manage Active Directory users.
• Modify file permissions and share permissions.
All of the help desk users are members of a global group named HelpDesk. Business Goals.
Trey Research has the following business goals:
• Minimize the cost of making changes to the environment.
• Minimize the cost of managing the network infrastructure and the servers
REQUIREMENTS
Technical Requirements
Trey Research plans to Virtualize all of the servers during the next three years. Trey
Research must meet the following technical requirements for virtualization:
• Simplify the management of all hardware.
• Allocate CPU resources between virtual machines (VMs).
• Ensure that the VMs can connect to multiple virtual local area networks (VLANs).
• Minimize the amount of administrative effort required to convert physical servers to
VMs.
Trey Research must ensure that users can access content in the shared folders if a single
server fails. The solution must also reduce the amount of bandwidth used to access the shared
folders from the branch offices. Trey Research must meet the following technical
requirements for the intranet site:
• Improve response time for users.
• Provide redundancy if a single server fails.
Security Requirements
A new corporate security policy states that only Enterprise Administrators are allowed to
interactively log on to servers.
User Requirements
Users report that it is difficult to locate files in the shared folders across the network. The
users want a single point of access for all of the shared folders in the company.

The corporate network includes Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Domain
controllers are located on each campus.
GDI uses Microsoft Windows Deployment Server (WDS) to distribute images by using
Preboot Execution Environment (PXE). GDI builds images by using the Windows
Automated Installation Kit (WAIK).
GDI uses Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to distribute and manage
Windows security updates and software updates. All private client computers and portable
computers used by faculty and staff are members of the WSUS computer group named Staff.
All shared client computers are members of the WSUS computer group named
LabComputers. All faculty and staff users are members of the global security group named
GDI_Staff. All students are members of the global security group named GDI_Students.
Specific servers are configured as shown in the following table.
The main data center is located on the Boston campus. ADMX and ADML files are centrally
stored on BODC01.
All Charlotte servers reside in the CH_Servers organizational unit (OU). CHDATA01,
CHDATA02, CHDATA03, and CHDATA04 reside in the CH_FileServers OU.

settings to all servers.
Business Requirements
After successful migrations to Windows Server 2008 R2 in Boston, New Haven, and
Tacoma, GDI plans to migrate its other campuses to Windows Server 2008 R2 in advance of
a full Windows 7 client computer deployment. Server deployment on the Austin campus must
be performed on weekends by using scheduled deployments. The post-migration environment
must meet the following business requirements:
• Maximize security
• Maximize data protection
• Maximize existing resources
• Minimize downtime
Technical Requirements
The post-migration environment must meet the following security requirements:
• All updates must be distributed by using WSUS.
• All critical updates must be installed as soon as possible.
• All drives on the Minneapolis campus servers must have Windows BitLocker Drive
Encryption enabled.
The post-migration environment must meet the following data protection requirements:
• All servers must have automated backup routines.
• All backups must be replicated to the Boston data center at the end of each business
week.
• The post-migration environment must meet the following resource requirements:
• Installations and recovery must be performed remotely.
• All department volumes on file servers must have NTFS quotas.
• Minimize download time for users who open Microsoft Office documents over the
WAN.
• Ensure that users’ files are always opened from the closest file server when available.
• Users’ files must be accessible by the same path from all campuses.
