Overview

Designed and implemented a modern enterprise-grade IT infrastructure using Windows Server 2022 to centralize identity management, strengthen network security, and automate administrative operations. The solution leveraged Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) integrated with DNS for seamless authentication and name resolution across the organization.

A structured Organizational Unit (OU) hierarchy was created to organize departments efficiently and enable precise policy application. Group Policy Objects (GPOs) were implemented to standardize configurations, enforce security policies, and reduce manual IT effort.

Additionally, a reliable backup and disaster recovery strategy was implemented using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, ensuring data protection, quick recovery, and business continuity.

Key Responsibilities & Implementation

1) Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Deployment

Configured Windows Server 2022 as a Domain Controller to provide centralized authentication and access control across the enterprise network.

• Installed and configured AD DS and DNS roles.
• Promoted server to Domain Controller with proper domain/forest setup.
• Configured DNS zones for internal network resolution.
• Managed users, computers, and groups via Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC).
• Ensured secure domain authentication and connectivity.

2) Department-Wise OU Structure & User Management

Designed a structured Organizational Unit (OU) hierarchy based on departmental segmentation to simplify administration and enable targeted policy enforcement.

• Created OUs for departments: Accounts, Costing, CRM, Design, HR, IT, Purchase, Reception, and Management.
• Implemented role-based access using security groups.
• Managed user lifecycle (creation, modification, permissions).
• Delegated administrative control for efficient management.

3) Group Policy (GPO) Implementation

Implemented multiple Group Policy Objects to automate system configuration, enforce security, and standardize user environments.

• USB Restriction Policy to prevent unauthorized data transfer.
• Drive Mapping Policy to automatically connect shared network drives.
• Printer Deployment Policy for automatic printer setup.
• Security policies including password enforcement, login restrictions, and system hardening.

4) Shared Folder & Access Control

Configured centralized file storage with secure access control to enable safe and efficient data sharing across departments.

• Created shared folders on the server.
• Applied NTFS and share-level permissions.
• Integrated access control using Active Directory security groups.
• Ensured controlled and secure collaboration environment.

5) Backup & Disaster Recovery using Acronis

Implemented a comprehensive backup and disaster recovery solution using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud.

• Configured backup plans for servers and critical data.
• Scheduled daily incremental backups for efficiency.
• Enabled cloud backup for redundancy and protection.
• Tested recovery processes to ensure reliability and readiness.

Key Outcomes

• Centralized user and device management across the organization.
• Improved security through policy-based controls.
• Reduced manual IT workload via automation.
• Enhanced system reliability and operational efficiency.
• Ensured business continuity with a robust backup and recovery strategy.

Overview

Configured and deployed a FortiGate 60F firewall to secure the company network and improve internet reliability. The key focus was implementing SD-WAN to manage two ISP connections (Jio & Spectra) for redundancy and load balancing.

Key Implementation Details

1) SD-WAN Configuration

Integrated multiple ISP links (Jio Fiber and Spectra) into a single logical interface using SD-WAN. Configured rules to route business-critical traffic through the most stable line and enabled automatic failover.

2) Security Policies

Applied strict firewall policies to control traffic flow between internal VLANs and the WAN. Enabled Web Filtering and Application Control to block non-business websites and risky applications.

Overview

Successfully transitioned the company’s primary website (www.gmsdelhi.com) from a third-party web development agency to a fully in-house managed platform. This initiative involved a complete structural redesign, content overhaul, and ongoing technical management to ensure the digital presence aligned perfectly with the company's brand identity.

By taking absolute ownership of the website, I eliminated external dependencies, which drastically reduced operational costs and allowed the company to execute digital updates instantly rather than waiting for vendor turnarounds.

Key Responsibilities & Implementation

1) Complete Website Redesign

Independently redesigned the visual architecture of the website to provide a more modern, clean, and professional user experience.

• Revamped page layouts to improve mobile responsiveness and readability.
• Upgraded brand visuals, typography, and color schemes to match corporate standards.
• Optimized navigation menus to help visitors find services and products faster.

2) Content Strategy & Restructuring

Developed and deployed a comprehensive content strategy to ensure clear communication of company services.

• Rewrote and organized copy across all core pages (Home, About Us, Services, Contact).
• Structured product and service hierarchies for better user flow.
• Ensured all technical information regarding company offerings was highly accurate and easily accessible.

3) In-House Technical Management

Replaced the external vendor workflow with a streamlined internal process.

• Took full control of backend hosting settings, domain management, and CMS configuration.
• Implemented regular security checks, plugin updates, and site backups.
• Saved the company significant capital by eliminating monthly third-party maintenance retainers.

4) Agile Updates & SEO Maintenance

Established a workflow for rapid response to business needs.

• Published new service announcements, banners, and updates instantly.
• Applied basic on-page SEO principles to ensure page titles, images, and descriptions met web standards.

Key Outcomes

• Zero External Dependency: Achieved 100% internal control over web assets.
• Cost Efficiency: Eliminated ongoing third-party vendor charges for maintenance and minor updates.
• Rapid Deployment: Reduced the turnaround time for website changes from days to mere minutes.
• Improved UX: Delivered a faster, cleaner, and more structured interface for business clients.
