San Diego County Sheriff’s Department: IT Staff Needs a Tool to Protect and Serve Data in Active Directory

In the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department today approximately 4,000 officers and professional support staff rely on the department’s nearly 3,500 desktops and 150 servers.

Michael Malone, a senior IT engineer for the organization, ensures the infrastructure remains operational and secure at all times. Not long ago, Malone faced two challenges:

• Help was needed to manage Group Policy changes
• The ability to recover needed to be in place should an administrator accidentally delete a group or even an Organizational Unit (OU) containing many user or computer accounts

Malone wanted to avoid the types of disasters he had read about:

• Users losing the ability to log on and connect to applications and data stores
• Users getting unwanted access to unsecured resources
