Validated CS User Acceptance Testing environment of new AD active directory, according to comprehensive business requirements and system standards developed over the years, laying the foundation for the identical production deployment. Worked with in-house Active Directory operation team to address issues unearthed with the validation and engineering team to make amendments to the design.

Design a new delegation model with in-house engineers for the new Active Directory; following MS best practice, the model consists of roles in the areas of system admin, data admin, security admin and support operator; the model is future proof in that it is not reliant on built-in groups, such as server operator, administrators, etc.

Designed the strategies for cross forest migration of user objects under the unique constraints imposed by CS legacy forests, namely, the token bloat threat complicated by the sheer number of applications in five domains and two forests; the migration strategy will ensure zero or minimum impact on business continuity and end users

High level design of a distributed global SCOM 2007 system, which is highly scalable and redundant to address single point of failure, and fault-tolerant with DR fully replicated database and master server.
