Case Study
Windows Server with multiple domains
There is a company called "ABC" that needs to setup a LAN (Local Area Network) for the main office, which is located in Melbourne. They have three different departments named Operation, Finance and Marketing. There are 50 employees working in this company in different departments. All objects (such as users, computers, file shares, printer's apps, groups, etc.) belonging to those departments should have their OU (Organisational Unit). The company wants multiple domains with a windows server. The client requires you to implement the following technologies in their LAN.
• Centralized user authentication for different domains (Active Directory).
• Configure a DHCP to acquire automatic IP address.
• Company to host a website including a separate IIS server.
• There will be two different domains. One is allocated for the administrator and the other is allocated for everyone else.

After creation of a child domain, you will see the following:
• An Active Directory integrated zone on the new domain controller for child domain name.

• A delegated DNS sub-domain on the Test website to new domain controller.
