Project Deliverables
ACME Widgets hired you as a consultant to help them improve the Active Directory Forrest and Site design. You are asked to design a Forest diagram and indicate site location and the number of Active Directory Domain Controllers and Global Catalogs to ensure proper Active Directory replication and seamless user logins.
1.
Design the ACME Widgets Active Directory Forest using Visio. Create a separate Domain logical organization diagram and a separate Site replication diagram.
a.
Start by drawing a diagram of 4 domains with correct parent child connections between domains. Properly label all domain. Save the Visio diagram as a JPG image. Insert that JPG image of the Visio diagram in the picture place holder below
b.
Connect the 3 sites using site connectors and positions appropriate domains in each site. Properly label all domains and sites. Save the Visio diagram as a JPG image. Insert that JPG image of the Visio diagram in the picture place holder below

ACME Site Diagram
Complete the table below showing how many Domain Controllers and Global Catalog servers you recommend for each site.
a.
Indicate how many of the Domain Controllers assigned from each domain within a given site are also Global Catalogs. For every Global Catalog, there must be a corresponding Domain Controller.
For example:
if you select 2 domain controllers for ACME IC domain in the Tampa Site, and select 1 Global Catalog, this means that one of the 2 Domain Controllers is also a Global Catalog. ACME IC domain will still have a total of 2 DCs in that site.
If you select 2 domain controllers and no Global catalogs, then indicate it by placing a “0” in the corresponding cell.
If you select 1 Global Catalog for an ACME domain in a site, then there must be at least 1 Domain Controller selected in the same site. San Francisco Site
