Yikes, I missed that one! When did that
happen?

Kirkpatrick Hiring on with an IT
services company that does large Windows projects would probably be the best way
to develop the experience you're looking for. That way you get exposure to many
different environments, requirements, people, and
projects. HP, Internosis,
LogicaCMG, and Microsoft Consulting Services are some examples, and there
are tens or hundreds of others. Some smaller consulting
companies like Oxford Computer Group focus on IdM projects and will sometimes
get pulled into AD projects in an advisory
capacity. From a career
standpoint, I would look more to the broader IdM technologies. AD expertise is
rapidly becoming comoditized, and in larger enterprise environments, AD is
but one component of the IdM and security infrastructure. Moving forward, MIIS
and ADFS are going to take center stage in the WIndows environment, and AD is
going to be pushed more into the background. AD will still be a critical
component, and there will always be a need for architects who can design large
AD infrastructures. But AD won't be where the action
is. -gil From:

Long I am trying to figure out how one
gauges their AD experience. For example, I have designed, implemented and
maintained an AD/Exchange environment of 5000 users with 1000 workstations from
the ground up, alone. The environment is only 3 sites, with little complexity. I
now work for a company maintaining a directory of about 150 users and 150
workstations. And the more local AD people I talk to, the more confident I am
that I know quite a bit about AD compared to them (only talking about the people
I have met…not generalizing the entire industry). Although I am not a guru like some
on this list, I would like to get myself to the place where I can say “yeah, I
can design your 50,000 user / 15 site infrastructure.” Or is that even possible?
Is a project of that size several directory experts working together?
I honestly believe that I could
perform such a task, but knowing that I would make some mistakes that a VERY
experienced person would not. So, I guess my question
is: How do I get to where I want to be?
Consult? Try to get a job with the biggest company I can?
There may be no real answer, but I
thought it was worth asking because I have been thinking about it for a couple
of months and don’t know where to start to move forward, and this is the only
place I know that has people that I consider AD gurus (or gods
even) |
