backup lansweeper config and restore to new server

Using lansweeper, the best practices analyzer and the Microsoft IPD Guide from the Microsoft Developer Network, IT staff intend to go over the Active Directory setup with great care and detail, documenting final results that may be lost or have changed over time such as the Active Directory Recovery Password.

Remove unused Group Policies, OUs and Users.

Verify the Active Directory Backup Password.

Verify Active Directory Domain Administrator Password.

Make sure Best Practices Analyzer is free and clear from major errors.

Primary Active Directory Controller (PAC) needs to be reassigned.

The AD has also evolved to use more then one AD controller (currently at 4) which is not necessary for an organization of this size (100 users and 100 devices) 2 are required for redundancy, but we also want a visualized domain controller for good measure and following best practices. Adding a new user for Email only access, put them into the proper security groups and OU, user is able to login to a network computer when they should be denied.Deploying a new computer added the machine to the domain added it to the proper OU, did a GP update on the server, User logs in to the client and gets no redirected folders.To that end we are working to get the active directory setup so it doesn't need to be so micromanaged. Currently we are having issues when creating new users, adding new machines where GP doesn't apply properly and things get missed when things are deployed. Two excellent examples of this issue: As an IT group we really haven’t been vigilant until recently in getting the Active Directory fixed up and in line with current best practices.
