If you are not sure how our domain works, start at the [[CISCOACA.local]] specific page.

Our active directory setup is quite simple, in our Active Directory, we just have the users that use the lab (which is organized into classes) and the computers we use that are on our domain. We have the computers also organized by room and number.

== Computers ==

In Active Directory Users and Computers, all of our computers are located in the "All Computers" folder. Within that folder they are organized by room, and also may be organized by number within that to make things easier to view.

The servers are located in the "Domain Controllers" section, separate from all of the other computers.

Different group policy settings are assigned to different folders. The "Domain Controllers" folder has different settings for the computers within than the "All Computers" folders for example. This is because different computers in different areas may need different settings.

=== Computer Groups ===
We have a few groups to help control computers in group policy.

==== Domain Computers ====

All of the computers except for domain controllers are in the Domain Computers group. This puts all of the settings that are created in group policy for the lab onto these computers based on the group's settings.

==== Domain Controllers ====

Our two domain controllers [[Loki]], and [[Logan]] are currently the only computers in this group. That is because computers that control the domain need separate settings and controls applied to them, so this helps ensure that.
