CIS256 Individual Project
General Project description : With increased utilization of computer technology, many medical practices, clinics and doctor’s offices are moving to Electronic Health Records (EHR), Practice Management (PM) software, electronic submission of prescriptions. Additionally many insurance companies require submission of claim forms electronically instead of paper forms. Many pharmacies accept electronic prescriptions. The net effect is that many small practices are grouping together and are moving to electronic records and work flow instead of paper.
A group of 4 offices are merging together into a single entity. The name of the entity is medical-emr.ecpi. Each of the remote office has about hand held computers and desktops to support the electronic records. A central office will house the IT infrastructure to support the company. One standalone server is located in each of the remote office at this time. Additional servers can be purchased if justified. A T-1 line has been added between the central office and each remote office. Digital certificates are needed for authentication purposes for electonic transactions (hand-held or desktop) that a medical staff person uses to access the Medical Software devices. Servers will be Server2008, desktop systems will be Windows 7. There is no safe location for the servers site 4; the servers that are added will be in a commons area.
Desktop software requirements: All desktops will have Micorsoft Office 2010 and Goolge Chrome available as the web browser.
Management has the following request:
All software be installed and updated centrally. Computer updates are controlled centrally and are authorized prior to being installed on individual systems
Assignment: You task it to design the Active Directory structure for the proposed organization.
Design the DNS infrastructure to support Active Directory Design AD logical and physical design Design AD group structure Identify the location of the FSMO roles Identify the DC locations Identify the bridgehead servers (if any are used) Design the GPO structure of the organization Design the software \ operating system deployment plan for the organization Design the CA for the organization Disaster recovery plan to include data and Active directory Identify additional servers \ equipment needed Generate a time line
Submission requirements:
Visio diagramo One sheet for logical diagramo One sheet for physical daigramo One sheet for CA diagramo One sheet for timelineo One sheet for group structure
Excel spreadsheet that shows the specification for additional servers requestedo CPU requirements, hard disk requirements, memory requirements, other requirements; reference for these
requirements Word document
o Identification of technical issueso Plan to address each technical issue including justification for making each design decision
Visio will contain the daigrams, the design decisions are recorded in the Word docuemento Disaster recovery plan
Final Project Active Directory Plan of action
We here at (ServerBuildersRuS) are submitting this plan of action for medical-emr.ecpi.
The Proposed network upgrade will assist in the company’s migration to Electronic Health
Records (EHR). This proposal will assist a group of four offices as they merge into a single
entity. A central office will support the new IT infrastructure and a disaster recovery plan will be
in place for redundancy. One standalone server is located in each of the remote office at this
time. Due to the Sensitivity and importance of these medical files a T-1 line has been added
between the central office and all remote offices for stability. Digital certificates will be used for
medical transactions on the system, so secure authentication is important. The company has also
requested Microsoft office 2010 and Google chrome as default programs on the network
terminals. Due to the constant change of input data all installed software will be installed and
maintained at the central location. The customer has also requested that computer updates will be
administratively controlled and authorized prior to being installed on individual workstations.
The following designs and diagrams will be included in this proposal:

Project Timeline
Disaster Recovery Plan
Group Structure
Timeline
Week 1 – Main site prepped by installation team, measurements, orders will be established.
Week 2 – Material delivery, unpack and verify all materials are present
Week 3 – Prep physical area for servers structure, purchase any needed supplies
Week 3 Day2 – Hardware installation begins, all installations will be verified and completed by certified professionals.
Week 3 Days 4 –Software configuration begins, IT staff will be required to troubleshoot and assist as necessary
Week 4 – IT work crews will clean and prep site for incoming construction crew for the facilities new cooling system installation.
Week 5 - medical-emr.ecpi will be open for business
Disaster recovery plan
Upon the event of a Disaster that completely destroys the physical site. We then begin
deployment of our Disaster Recovery Plan. All Damaged servers and hardware with be replaced
by the installation team upon inspection and then re-established and re-populated with the
cloud backup or the redundant blu-ray backup storage files. Blu-ray backup will be used as a
secondary measure should all other means fail. The team leader will lead the DRP recovery
team in a timely manner to recover and repopulate the patient files and databases with the
stored backup.
Minimum Server requirements for Microsoft Server 2008
To use Windows Server 2008 you need:
Component RequirementProcessor • Minimum: 1GHz (x86 processor) or 1.4GHz (x64 processor)
• Recommended: 2GHz or fasterNote: An Intel Itanium 2 processor is required for Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems
Memory • Minimum: 512MB RAM• Recommended: 2GB RAM or greater• Maximum (32-bit systems): 4GB (Standard) or 64GB (Enterprise and Datacenter)• Maximum (64-bit systems): 32GB (Standard) or 1TB (Enterprise, Datacenter) and 2TB (Itanium-Based Systems)
Available Disk Space • Minimum: 10GB• Recommended: 40GB or greaterNote: Computers with more than 16GB of RAM will require more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files
Drive DVD-ROM driveDisplay and Peripherals • Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution monitor
• Keyboard• Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
All Servers will meet at least the minimum requirements for Microsoft Server 2008. Site’s 1-4 will have compatible hardware to minimize maintenance and installation issues.
