01
Environment review
We review accounts, computers, locations, applications and the existing domain. We collect sign-in problems and access requirements.
Identity and access
Active Directory deployment
We deploy Active Directory domains and improve existing ones. We configure accounts, groups, computers and access rules. We plan migration, test sign-in and agree backups and ongoing administration.
Trusted by
Companies and institutions that need stable IT.
One place to manage access
A new employee should receive the access they need, and a departing employee should lose it. Active Directory helps centrally manage accounts and computers in a Windows domain. We review file, application and printer use and establish who approves permissions. That informs a new domain design or improvements to the existing one.
Services alongside Active Directory
Domain work takes application, email and maintenance needs into account. Integrations and additional protections are agreed before work begins.

Account and policy changes can affect everyday work. We therefore agree coverage, tests and cutover dates.
02
Design and preparation
We agree structure, roles, policies and the migration plan. We prepare controllers, networking, backups and test scenarios.
03
Deployment and migration
We apply configuration and move agreed groups of computers and accounts. We check sign-in and applications, coordinating work-affecting changes with your business.
04
Acceptance and administration
We provide documentation, results and exceptions. Account support, updates, monitoring, backups and further permission reviews are agreed.
Practical scope
What you receive after domain work
Acceptance covers the agreed functions and documentation needed by the people administering the environment.
Documentation of controllers, locations, groups and account organisation. We configure agreed services and check DNS, replication and dependencies.
Access groups, computer policies and separate administrative roles. Your business knows who approves permissions and how role changes or departures are handled.
Results from sign-in, policy and selected application and file-access tests. We document migrated computers, exceptions and issues requiring more work.
Administration, monitoring, updates and domain backups. We identify recovery-test coverage; a full AD forest recovery exercise requires a separately agreed, isolated environment.
Active Directory and Entra ID are different services
An on-premises Windows domain and Microsoft Entra ID in the cloud are not the same service. If they need to work together, synchronisation, administration and protections are designed separately. Conditional Access, device management and other functions depend on the solution and licences; installing a domain does not automatically add them.
Active Directory questions
Can an existing domain be improved without replacing it?
+
Yes, if a review confirms that the structure can remain in use. We examine controllers, replication, accounts, groups and policies. We present changes and their impact; a new domain is not a mandatory result of a review.
Does every business using Microsoft 365 need local AD?
+
We do not assume that. We first review applications, computers, working practices and sign-in requirements. We distinguish local domain needs from cloud account and device management.
Will employees lose access during migration?
+
The impact depends on the existing domain, profiles and applications. We agree the sequence, run tests and plan user assistance. Timing and possible interruptions are established after reviewing the environment.
Does a controller backup prove the domain can be recovered?
+
No. Backup coverage and the scenario actually tested must be identified. Testing one component is not a complete forest recovery test. We agree the test scope, isolated environment and success criteria before running it.
Let’s plan domain and employee access
Tell us the number of users and locations. Describe existing Active Directory, Microsoft 365 and access problems. Do not send passwords or exported user data.
