SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
A government authority in Santa Maria, California is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive Active Directory and server migration services. The network infrastructure includes legacy domain controllers that require upgrading and migration from an existing hypervisor to a new hypervisor, with domain controllers operating on Windows Server 2025 and using the 2025 domain and forest functional levels. The work includes raising legacy domain and forest functional levels, migrating the agency across forest and child domains, and transitioning roles to the new domain controllers.
The project also includes upgrading and migrating two legacy agency servers with their scope configurations, reservations, and failover settings to new Windows Server 2025 virtual machines. Two additional legacy servers must be migrated with all lookup zones and configurations while maintaining redundancy and replication. The vendor must develop testing and rollback plans to minimize disruption to production services, provide documentation and knowledge transfer or training, and demote and decommission legacy servers.
The migration also covers the conversion of approximately 30 additional virtual machines to the new hypervisor. These systems may include file shares, standalone SQL servers, application servers, print servers, and Linux servers. The selected vendor will provide comprehensive planning, configuration, conversion, and execution services while working closely with City staff to develop a project plan and timeline.
