Yo manage a single domain named widgets.com. Organizational units (OUs) have been created for each company department. User and computer accounts have been moved into their corresponding OUs. Members of the Directors OU want to enforce longer passwords than are required for the rest of the users. You define a new granular password policy with the required settings.

You are the network administrator for a small company. Your organization currently uses the following server systems:
• A Windows server that functions as a domain controller and a file server.
• A Novell Open Enterprise Server that functions as a GroupWise e-mail server.
• A Linux server that hosts your organization’s NoSQL database server that is used for big data analysis.

Because each of these systems uses its own unique set of authentication credentials, you must spend a considerable amount of time each week keeping user account information updated on each system.In addition, if a user changes his or her password on one system, it is not updated for the user’s accounts on the other two systems.

implement an identity vault. implement password synchronization
