Active Directory Consulting in New Orleans and surrounding areas.

What this service covers

Active Directory is where years of turnover, quick fixes, and departed IT providers leave their fingerprints. Mike's IT Consulting untangles AD environments so accounts, groups, and policies reflect the business today instead of a decade of history.

What's included

• Stale user and computer account cleanup with a documented, reversible process.
• Group and OU structure rationalization so permissions are understandable again.
• Group Policy audit: consolidating, documenting, and removing conflicting or dead GPOs.
• DNS and DHCP review for the misconfigurations behind slow logons and random outages.
• Privileged access cleanup: separating admin accounts and shrinking the Domain Admins group.
• Hybrid identity review for environments syncing AD to Microsoft Entra ID.

Common problems this fixes

• Hundreds of enabled accounts for people who left years ago.
• Half the office quietly running as domain admins.
• Group Policy behavior nobody can explain or safely change.
• Entra Connect sync errors that break cloud access at random.
