CISCOACA.local (Retired)

Our Domain Setup

The CISCOACA.local domain is setup to run off of the servers called Loki and Logan. The both run Active Directory, DNS, and DHCP. v is configured as the main server by default, and Logan is configured as the hot standby. They will failover or trade roles if there is ever an issue. Logan may also occasionally switch to the main server leaving Loki as the hot standby, which is fine as they will still have redundancy. Logan is the default standby, as Logan also runs the web server VMs so it has more load already.

Active Directory

Active Directory holds all of our group policy and security settings. Active Directory controls how all of the computers in our domain behave, and is what allows us to have our unique logins that work on every computer. Without it, we are unable to login, we lose our shared folders, and we lose all our security settings.
