As a systems administrator, you will often encounter the need to replace older hardware with newer hardware. This commonly happens on a set schedule every three to five years, depending on budget, and normally takes place after business hours. Properly configuring hardware is important for maintaining the information security triad $($confidentiality$,$ integrity, and availability, or CIA$).$ The largest consideration here is availability. When replacing older hardware with newer hardware, you must ensure that there are no negative effects on the production environment.

In this project, you will back up an old server, configure a trigger for an event in the Task Scheduler on the old server, create a new organizational unit, and add new users to the new server. The project will be submitted in Module Six. You will demonstrate your mastery of the following course competency:
