For increased performance and security a Server Core installation will be performed on all the servers.

For efficiency and to save money only the first server, WAI Serv1, will be deployed manually and will have the Windows Deployment Service (WDS) installed onto it. WDS will allow us to remotely install the remaining servers and operating systems on all the devices by using an image file.

Because the Active Directory domain controllers are being placed on the DNS servers, we are going to be able to take advantage of Active Directory-integrated zones (ADI). By using ADI any changes made to the main Active Directory domain controller will be replicated to all other domain controllers on the network providing fault tolerance. In addition, any time an ADI zone transfer occurs the data is encrypted ensuring the security of the data being sent between the servers (Zone
