The cost of implementing Active Directory 2008 on a turnkey basis

Question

Active Directory

Good afternoon, hackers!

Task
Deploy AD 2008 on a turnkey basis
- Unified user database
- Backup domain controller
- Automation of creating backup copies of Active Directory
- Automation of OS installation on hardware
- Auto-update of workstations (win xp, 7)
- Automation of installation and updating of a specified list of software (office 2007, kaspersky , firefox, acrobat, etc.)
- OS and software settings templates for user groups (network drives, registry settings, access rights)
- Event auditing in AD
- Development and documentation of scenarios for restoring the functionality of the above components

Features:
Table, mortar, internet, Vmware ESXi 5 on powerful hardware and a pack of nettops with on-demand monitors
All software is licensed.
Performance of work strictly according to the TOR
Connection of workstations to AD and filling of the database of users will be carried out by the customer.

The question is how to find out how much such work really costs?

Answer 1

Everything is fine, but there is a small note:
As I understand it, you want to virtualize the main and backup controllers of the house on AD 2008. Microsoft strongly discourages this. If you want, then deploy AD on windows server 2012, its scheme is adapted to the virtual environment.
Ps I think that it is not worth considering the work separately, everything is necessary in a complex.
Moreover, you need a full-fledged hypervisor management system, and for some reason there is not a single word about backup. Looking at one without the other is a waste of money.
If you have any questions, please contact. I have extensive experience in virtualization in conjunction with network infrastructure.

Answer 2

In my opinion, the surest option is to arrange a tender among integrators for this type of work. You can also surf freelance sites for AD implementation services.

Answer 3

Well, in my opinion, the prices can be as follows (depending on the greed of the contractor and the time spent):
1) Installing Windows Server 2008: 2000-5000 rubles x2 = 4000-10000 rubles.
2) Raising the role of the Primary Domain Controller + DNS + DHCP: 4000-6000 rubles.
3) Raising the role of a secondary domain controller: 2000-4000 rubles.
4) Installing and configuring WSUS server (auto-update) - 2000-3000 rubles.
5) Installation and configuration of Windows Deployment Services (Automation of OS installation on hardware) with image preparation: 6,000 - 10,000 rubles.
6) Creation of group policies, setting up access groups, quotas, rights: 6000-10000 rubles.
7) Creation of documentation (secondary process): 5000 - 10000 rubles.
8) Installing and configuring Kaspersky Adminkit: 5000-7000 rubles.
9) AD audit, depending on the selected audit software, is configured for 1500-3000 rubles.
In my vision, with nettops and ESXi, it would be possible to organize work through thin clients and save on software licensing (CALs for the terminal server will cost less than Windows 8).
I wrote prices based on the calculation of the cost of an hour of work of a good specialist, if you work with an integrator, then most likely the prices will be higher and much higher. We were billed 450 thousand rubles for installing 2 SQL servers and setting up some software.

Beginning with Windows Server® 2012, AD DS provides better support for domain controller virtualization through secure virtualization and rapid deployment of virtual domain controllers through cloning. These new virtualization capabilities provide excellent support for public and private clouds, hybrid environments where some parts of AD DS reside within the organization and in the cloud, and AD DS infrastructures that are entirely hosted within the organization.

Answer 5

There was a similar project recently, including the migration of users (about 150) with a zoo of OS / specific software, without stopping business processes.
Virtualization on KVM, geographically distributed cluster. AD on Windows Server 2012
term - several months, the cost is about 500t.r.

This is a customer whose infrastructure has long been familiar. A new, unknown customer would be 30-50% more expensive.

Answer 6

If you are a customer, do not chase the price. Arrange a tender and look for a contractor according to the following criteria: -
an expert in these technologies,
- has a similar experience,
- a spotless reputation.
