Active Directory Consolidation Agenda: • Current Environment • Vision • Strategy • Proposed Future Environment • Benefits to UGA • The Importance of an Oversight Model • ITIL V3 Adherence/Compliance • Change Management • Next Steps
Active Directory Consolidation • Current Environment • EITS currently manages multiple campus wide Windows Server Active Directory implementations in a mixed environment • A collection of Active Directory Domains • Each Domain in a separate Forest • Made of a collection of Windows 200x servers in a variety of physical locations
Active Directory Consolidation VISION EITS will have one centrally managed, feature rich Active Directory domain that will offer University-wide Identification, Authentication, and Authorization using an appropriately scaled hardware platform.
Active Directory Consolidation Requirements: • Scalability • UGA departments business process alignment • IT services and business functionality • EITS SLA • Governance Charter • Technology components • Security • Measurements and metrics • External services and components • Maintenance
PROPOSED FUTURE ENVIRONMENT • Consolidate 4 Active Directory Domains into one MSMYID.uga.edu Domains to be decommissioned are: • ADUGA.uga.edu • LABS.ad.uga.edu • AD.uga.edu
Strategy Fully featured vs feature rich: • What is your “wish list”of features? • What are the business reasons? • Are there any technical constraints? Service value Cost Time Frame
Benefits to UGA: • Increase the work efficiency by: • Providing better performance of the whole infrastructure • Unified user experience, unified processes (and support) and same level of service • Ease of administration inside the group • Managed risk and risk mitigation: • Enable EITS to build and deploy an AD continuity plan • A consistent security model will also be deployed across the group • The solution is designed to handle growth • as UGA is growing and/or interacting with other partners
The importance of an Oversight Model • Politics • Challenges • Technical Constraints • Business Requirements to be a key driver • Identify Potential Solutions
Oversight Model • Policies • Strategy • Measurements, metrics • Implement the strategy – UGA representation required • Communications • Invite UGA System Admins to participate • Migration strategy • Governance Kick off meeting • Governance Committee Creation • Communications Plan
Oversight Model Team Members: Future: Current: John Salguero, PMP EITS - IT Assoc. Director Stephanie Ayers, EITS – Lead Architect James Brannon, Franklin College – Systems Admin Jonathan Hardy, Franklin College – IT Sr. Manager Jim Metcalf Terry College – IT Manager
Change Management • Ensures that changes are deployed in a controlled manner • Steps to handle the change, including handling issues and unexpected events. • Chronological order of steps, with any dependencies. • Responsibilities • Timescales and thresholds for completion. • Escalation procedures. • Minimizes risk and maximizes value.
ITIL V3 Adherence/Compliance ITIL maintains that there are three key requirements: • Accountability • Responsibility • Authority OWNERSHIP
Oversight Model - RACI MATRIX – ITIL V3 RACI – ITIL V3 – stands for: R = Responsible A = Accountable C = Consulted I = Informed
ITIL V3 Adherence/Compliance According to ITIL V3, there are four reasons to measure: • Validate previous decisions • Direct activities to meet targets • Justify that action is required • Intervene at right point and take corrective action
ITIL V3 Adherence/Compliance ITIL V3 – Activities might include: • Are customers satisfied? • Active Directory meeting service levels • Active Directory processes achieving desired results • Employee/Sys Admin. compliance • Services needed to be reviewed • Are customers satisfied?
Next Steps: • Form formal committee - Kick off Meeting • Gather business requirements – Continued • Fine tune the strategy • Formulate policies • Governance Model Committee • Implement Governance Model for AD • January 2012 • Migration Orientation • 2 times a months starting Oct. 19 • Multiple windows to be provided • Planned phased approach • High level documents for Active Directory • AD Testing Guidelines • Requirements for AD Admin Acct.
Next Steps - continued: • Migration Order/Schedule – dates Client by Client • 1st Migration – LABS to MSmyID • 2nd Migration – AD to MSmyID • 3rd Migration – ADUGA to MSmyID • Communication of results – ITMF and UGANet • Decommissioning Old AD Components • Strategy and Documentation to be developed • Dependent on more participation • Elicit more business requirements • Proposed Dates: • LABS – After Jan. 1, 2012 • AD – After Spring Break • ADUGA – After March 13, 2012
