The root is named transnatrail.com with four (4) child domains named north.transnatrail.com, south.transnatrail.com, east.transnatrail.com, and west.transnatrail.com. Active Directory is configured for each domain. The forest root domain is named HQ_Site, and the remaining four (4) are named North_Site, South_Site, East_Site, and West_Site. Write a five to eight (5-8) page paper in which you analyze and solve the following issues: 1. TR has several Supervisory Conductors (SCs) stationed in different networked geographic regions who need access to a transport control module and other resources. The following info details placement of the SCs: Two (2) SCs have been placed in a global group in the forest root domain named SC_HQ_.
Three SCs are in global groups in each of the child domains. These groups are named SC_North, SC_South, SC_East, and SC_West. a. Propose a plan that will allow all the SCs access to the networked transport control module and other resources in the HQ domain while preventing them from accessing other resources in all the other domains besides their own. b.
