Windows Server overview
All school-owned PC laptops are joined to the Crossroads Active Directory domain, and all teachers and older students log in using credentials defined on the Windows server "domain controller". In July 2016, NHVT Computers assisted with transitioning from old hardware with Server 2008, to new hardware with Server 2012. All staff and student data was copied from the old to the new, and the AD accounts, group policies, etc. were transitioned as well.
This master server is CA-2016-SVR. In addition to Active Directory and Group Policy services, it also does file sharing, DNS, DHCP, and print. In the past it had SQL Server and web services enabled, probably for some legacy support thing like SpiceWorks.
