Client Profile:
A major public university in the San Antonio area, recognized as the largest institution in the region, sought support to modernize its aging Active Directory (AD) environment.
The Challenge:
The university had been operating within an outdated Active Directory structure, leading to concerns around performance, security, and long-term scalability. Without modernization, they risked inefficiencies and exposure to cybersecurity threats. Additionally, legacy configurations made administration cumbersome and created barriers to future technology initiatives.
The Weaver Way:
Weaver Government Solutions conducted a comprehensive Active Directory audit. The goal was to deliver both immediate remediation recommendations and a long-term design plan. Our Microsoft-certified team assessed the existing AD environment and provided detailed insights to guide future decisions.

The Right IT Solution:
- Active Directory audit and comprehensive analysis
- Remediation plan for outdated configurations
- New Active Directory design to support future growth and security
- Integration recommendations for Microsoft 365 and Azure AD
The Right Time: Execution:
The audit was completed by Weaver Services. The next phase, involving implementation of the newly designed AD architecture, is pending client action and approval.
Outcomes:
While implementation has not yet begun, the audit provided these critical insights:
- Modernization & Security: Updated design eliminates legacy vulnerabilities.
- Operational Efficiency: Streamlined group policies and permissions.

By conducting a thorough audit and delivering a clear plan forward, we empowered their team to confidently take the next step in modernization. Our role wasn’t to sell software—it was to deliver clarity, guidance, and long-term value.
