Active Directory services

Complete Active Directory design, deployment, and management.

Most Indian mid-market estates run a forest someone built years ago that nobody has audited since. We assess what is actually there, redesign it around least privilege, migrate it without a weekend outage, then run it: replication, GPO, tier-0 protection, and the access evidence your DPDP and CERT-In reporting asks for.

What we deliver

Comprehensive Active Directory solutions, end to end.

Eight delivery streams. Which ones you need depends on whether you are standing up a first domain for a new Hyderabad office, consolidating forests after an acquisition, or inheriting a GCC estate that has to join a parent-company tenant.

AD Design and Planning

Infrastructure assessment, forest and domain design, and capacity planning sized for how your sites actually connect, branch offices on consumer-grade links included.

Domain Controller Setup

DC build, DNS, site topology and replication tuned to the real bandwidth between your sites, whether that is one Hyderabad floor or offices in Bengaluru and Pune too.

User and Computer Management

Account provisioning, OU structure and least-privilege permissions, with joiner, mover and leaver flows your HR team can trigger without raising a ticket.

Group Policy Configuration

GPO creation, security baselines, software deployment and desktop lockdown, with change tracking so any policy edit traces back to a person and a date.

AD Migration Services

Domain migration, forest consolidation after an acquisition, and version upgrades, with a cutover plan and a rollback you could actually execute at 2am.

Security Hardening

Tier-0 protection, privileged account control and periodic access reviews, producing the kind of evidence a DPDP enquiry or a customer security questionnaire asks for.

Performance Optimization

Replication health, database tuning and LDAP query optimisation, so authentication stays fast when the whole office logs in within the same ten minutes.

Disaster Recovery Planning

Backup strategy, forest recovery runbooks and DR testing that is rehearsed on a schedule rather than written once and filed away.

Advanced AD components

The components most inherited estates are missing.

The core services behind a working directory, each configured to vendor baseline and documented well enough that your next auditor can follow it without calling us.

Our implementation process

A structured five-phase approach.

Five phases, refined engagement after engagement. Every deliverable is peer-reviewed and signed off before the next phase opens, and the phase gate is yours to hold, not ours.
  1. 01
    Phase 1· 1-2 weeks

    Assessment and Planning

    Find out what is really running, including the domain controller nobody documented, and produce a plan with a risk register attached.

    • Current state report
    • Target architecture
    • Risk register
    • Implementation plan
  2. 02
    Phase 2· 1 week

    Design and Architecture

    Forest, OU hierarchy and security model designed around how your business is actually structured, not the org chart from three years ago.

    • Forest and domain design
    • OU structure
    • GPO baseline
    • Security model
  3. 03
    Phase 3· 1-2 weeks

    Deployment and Configuration

    Domain controllers built and DNS configured inside an agreed change window, with smoke tests run before anyone is asked to log in.

    • Production DCs
    • DNS configuration
    • GPOs deployed
    • Smoke tests passed

    Migration and Integration

    Users, devices and resources moved across, then joined up with Entra ID and whatever else already holds identity in your estate.

    • Migrated identities
    • Azure AD Connect
    • SSO configured
    • Coexistence verified

    • Monthly reports
    • Quarterly reviews
    • 24/7 incident response
Azure AD integration

One identity, on the plant floor and in the tenant.

Connect the on-premises forest to Entra ID so staff sign in once, and so a GCC can meet a parent-company conditional access policy without a second set of credentials.

Azure AD Connect

Synchronise on-premises AD with Azure AD for hybrid identity, SSO, and unified access management.

  • Password hash synchronisation
  • Pass-through authentication
  • Federation with AD FS
  • Seamless single sign-on

  • Conditional Access policies
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
  • Password writeback
  • Self-service password reset
  • Azure AD Privileged Identity Management

Benefits

Why enterprises trust us with their AD.

Six outcomes, each measurable from your first monthly report onward.

Centralized user management

One console for every user, device and resource, with policy applied the same way in every office you operate.

Enhanced security controls

Least privilege by default, conditional access on the accounts that matter, and tier-0 kept away from daily-driver logins.

Simplified authentication

One sign-on across cloud and on-premises apps, which is usually the change staff notice first.

Improved compliance

Access records and audit trails in the shape a DPDP enquiry, a CERT-In report or a client security questionnaire actually asks for.

Reduced IT overhead

Routine administration moves to scripts and policy, which is what stops a growing headcount needing a proportionally growing IT team.

Better resource management

Shared infrastructure, printers and licences allocated by group rather than by request, and reclaimed when someone leaves.

Monitoring and health

You should hear about replication failing from us.

Health checks across replication, security, compliance and performance, alerting into our Hyderabad desk with a 30-minute response for managed clients on P1.

Real-time Monitoring

Continuous health checks, replication tracking, and authentication performance metrics.

  • Domain controller health monitoring
  • Replication status tracking

Security Monitoring

Detect anomalies, lockouts, and privileged-account activity before they become incidents.

Automation and PowerShell

Streamline operations with documented automation.

PowerShell that removes the repetitive work, so onboarding a batch of joiners is one run rather than an afternoon of clicking.

Industries we serve

Active Directory across diverse sectors.

We design and operate AD against the frameworks an Indian business is actually audited on: the DPDP Act, CERT-In directions, the IT Act, and whatever your sector regulator adds on top.

Healthcare

IT Act 2000-aligned identity controls and audit-ready access policies for clinics and hospitals.

Financial Services

RBI / SEBI-aligned identity controls with strong authentication and segregation of duties.

Education

Staff, faculty and student tiers with per-campus delegated administration and joiner-leaver flows that follow the academic calendar.

Government

CERT-In-aligned controls with privileged-access workstations and tier-0 protection.

Retail

Multi-state store topology, roaming profiles, and billing terminals that keep authenticating when the link to head office drops.

Manufacturing

OT and IT segmentation for plant floors, shared-device and kiosk profiles for shift workers, and access records that survive a customer audit.
