The three locations are connected via fast network connections and the IT/IS Administration is centralized with the helpdesk. Employees have the ability to utilize computers and printers within their department, but are not allowed to use these devices located in other departments. In addition, HR information is restricted to that department as well as the executive offices, which have access to all locations and data. The Domain and Group structure for Company A is designed with objects representing the
IT/IS Administration and the locations for the company. Under the Locations object are sub folders that represent each location. Each location then respectively has several sub folders based on the departments that exist and the functions that are performed at each location. The sub folders within each location object include the departments that are housed at each specific location. The group structure for each department is consistent throughout the company. All general users belong to the "Employees" group that is a sub folder for each department. The "Computers & Printers" folder is a sub folder of the "Employee" group structure to assign what permissions the employees have and what devices they are allowed to access. This group structure is consistent with the exception of the Executive Offices. Although the Executive Offices are located at the same location as the IT/IS and Marketing and Design Departments, the Executive Offices has different group structures that allow executive members to have access to the HR department as well as all other locations within the company. The Executive Offices also have access to their own computers and printers.
