Background: The Enterprise Directory Services and Authentication (EDS&A) project is one of the Army's key programs "focused on enabling the expeditionary Army to deploy worldwide seamless information architecture." The capabilities needed in the Land War Net (LWN) right now are near real-time visibility of all information technology (IT) assets, control of those assets and protecting those assets by posturing the Army's IT "info-structure" (technology, people, and processes) to deal with future attacks. Enterprise Directory Services provides an integrated global network for Joint, Coalition, interagency, intergovernmental, and other users who need to collaborate across organizational boundaries. The Army is replacing the multiple AD infrastructures and migrating from a series of highly decentralized, independent network domains to an Enterprise infrastructure design. The Windows 2008/2008 R2 and AD environment capitalizes on architectural design goals and seeks to implement standardization of processes and technologies for the Land Warrior Network (LandWarNet) and the Joint Information Enterprise (JIE). The Enterprise SCCM, SCOM, SCORCH, SCSM, SCVMM, SCDPM and SCUP provide an integrated global persistent asset visibility and reporting for all Microsoft and Linux/Unix computing platforms, Information Assurance Vulnerability Management (IAVM) and Army Golden Master (AGM) software deployment, configuration management, monitoring, and global response for all Microsoft computing platforms. SCOPE: The Contractor shall provide non-personal services in support of Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM). The Contractor shall provide support development of implementation and migration plans by providing recommendations on best business practices for theaters within the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS), including the Pacific (PAC), Europe (EUR), Southwest Asia (SWA), and Korea theaters of operation. The Contractor shall support Active Directory (AD); Windows 2003; Windows 2008/2008 R2; Exchange 2003, 2007, and 2010; Outlook client, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Enterprise Email; Army Systems Management (SysMan) System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007/2012; SysMan Systems Center Operations Manager (SCOM) 2007/2012; SysMan Systems Center Update Publisher (SCUP) 2011 and later releases; SysMan System Center Orchestrator (SCORCH) 2012; SysMan System Center Service Manager 2012 (SCSM); SysMan System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 (SCVMM); SysMan System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 (SCDPM); Microsoft Office SharePoint Services (MOSS) 2010 and later releases; SQL 2008; and various Windows application migrations and implementations. The Government may leverage proactive credits as a means of providing field training both on-premises and through e-learning at CONUS and OCONUS sites for the current Army Global SYSMAN capability comprised of Microsoft SCCM 2007/2012, SCOM 2007/2012, SCORCH 2012, SCSM 2012, SCVMM 2012, SCDPM 2012 and SCUP 2011.
