Planning an Application Server Migration
NEW

2. Technical Paper: Planning an Application
Server Migration
Imagine you are working for a large
international purchasing company that
has just bought a growing local company
that manufactures western wear at
several locations (it’s a group of cottage
industries; remember from the other
scenarios that it now has eight (8) satellite
offices, four (4) large and four (4) small
ones). The previous owner, Sam Yosemite,
tells his IT team to provide support and
information to your IT staff to help with
the transition to your forest domain.
Gathering information from the other
writing assignment descriptions, decide
the best ways to bring the “Wild Frontier”
network into your domain, “Foghorn
Leghorn” and migrate to your current
standards.

3. The business acquisition is largely
superficial and the existing personnel
structures will remain in place. You have
to bring the “Wild Frontier” under the
“Foghorn Leghorn” domain and make sure
production needs are met at all the
satellite locations. Your budget is fairly
generous due to allocated funds for the
transition, but will likely be much more
constrained in the future. Take
maintenance costs (both money and man-
hours) into consideration as you design
your solutions.
The same design requirements specified
in the writing assignments (support, hours
of operation, remote staff, Internet access,
and sensitive file access) still apply, but
disk space management is no longer as
much of a concern and being part of a
large company brings economies of scale
to licensing purchases; take advantage of

4. these. Department cost allocation is even
more of a priority. Providing shooting
targets (large paper reports) for Sam is no
longer a need (the managers celebrate).
Workstations will all be standardized and
provided with Virtual Desktop
Infrastructure (VDI). Use those to your
best advantage for standardization and
support staff man-hour savings while still
addressing control over users’ access of
unapproved media services and
applications.
Write a ten to fifteen (10-15) page
technical paper which covers the
following:
1. Suggest how to use Terminal Services to
help meet criteria for providing
applications and support for the remote
offices.

5. 2. Determine how application pools will
help to reduce costs. Be specific in your
configuration specifications.
3. Formulate how using AD groups and
NTFS permissions should best be
configured for security and appropriate
access.
4. Evaluate how you might use Windows
SharePoint Services to provide support for
the additional remote offices and help
prevent duplication of work.
5. Examine how you can use high-
availability technologies to manage costs.
6. Propose how you will take advantage of
the change in licensing considerations.
7. Provide a plan to manage network load
balancing and avoid slowdowns in
performance as much as possible.

6. 8. Determine what considerations you will
take into account for your printer
requirements.
9. Use Visio or a similar tool to depict
graphically the physical and logical layout
of your plan. Note: The graphically
depicted solution is not included in the
required page length.
1. Use at least five (5) quality resources in
this assignment.Note: Wikipedia and
similar Websites do not qualify as quality
resources.
The following specific course learning
outcomes are associated with this
assignment. Bear these in mind when
planning and designing your proposed
solutions.
