The Work Performed
Information Assurance
Perform extensive Windows Server Administration work, to include Active Directory, DNS and WINS. Our personnel have been involved initially by performing out-of-the box server set up that includes RAID configurations that prepares for OS install. Additionally, we worked with the customer to setup partitions and create directories and eventually work towards setting up Active Directory and reorganized the naming convention, implement Group Policy and create customer GPO’s for various security and user settings.

We also install, configure, optimize and troubleshoot DNS issues and create zones and resource records for forward and reverse lookups. We have also been integrated into working with special agency projects which involve coordinated efforts with Telecommunications; Facilities and Network Operations.
