Project Description

Built an on-premises Active Directory environment using Hyper-V virtual machines, including redundant Domain Controllers with integrated DNS services to provide high availability and centralized authentication. Configured DHCP services for automated IP address management and implemented network address translation (NAT) through a router to allow internal systems to securely access external resources.

Registered and configured a custom GoDaddy domain and integrated it with Microsoft 365 and Azure. Implemented Azure AD Connect synchronization to create a hybrid identity environment, allowing on-premises Active Directory users and groups to synchronize with Microsoft Entra ID. Configured Exchange Online mailboxes, enabling secure email communication between users within the organization.

Deployed Microsoft Intune to manage devices, users, and policies, and configured cloud-based identity and access management through Microsoft Entra ID. Validated authentication, email functionality, directory synchronization, and endpoint management capabilities across both on-premises and cloud environments.
