Chapter 6:
The International Financial Company
In this, our final chapter, we will look at a large financial institution, Savill Bank, a multinational with three major undertakings that require our assistance:

  • Savill bank has recently merged with (or bought, as the case is in reality) a small investment bank, GlobboBank, for its client base in Asia. This needs to be brought into the main Savill Bank Empire. There is, however, an initial need to get them communicating and sharing resources quickly.

  • Managers wish to rename the NetBIOS name of one of the domains, the domestic domain, and to move it in the Active Directory forest.

  • They need to resolve connectivity difficulties of domestic US branches, which cause resource access failures at the branches.

We will also use this scenario to investigate some of the more advanced features of the Active Directory and complete our Active Directory picture by performing some of the routine activities needed to maintain and improve the environment.
