For this assignment you will be submitting your progress on your final project. Specifically you will submit a document addressing the following topics. Refer to the project instruction in Module 5 for additional information.

Milestone 2

• Central Update Server plan\layout
• File and Print Server structure and security plans
• Security Group layout
• Naming conventions
• OU Structure

While there is not a formal format for this submission and you are not expected to have everything for these items implemented in your proof of concept (documentation), if you work through the project logically for each milestone you will have completed a large quantity of the work by the end of the course.
