...October, 2012 The purpose of this paper is to discuss installing an access control system (ACS) in a dormitory. The ACS will automatically unlock the dormitory doors via an electronic proximity reader and integrate with an existing security camera system. The cameras are designed to face and rotate to record a person as they use their identification card to unlock the door. Project Title: Install Access Control System in Hall of TC CARRINGTON dormitory Project Justification: To increase the security and integrity of dormitory access at Southern Maryland Community College, one dormitory has been set up as a test site for the newly access control system (ACS). According to Germain (2011), an “access control system allows you to monitor when people enter and exit access control systems help to keep unauthorized people out, while providing flawless access to those who are authorized to be there” (para. 1). Project Scope: Install entry access system to dormitory using current security system. Project Deliverables: Scope Statement: The purpose of this project is to install an ACS in the Hall of TC CARRINGTON dormitory on the campus of Southern Maryland Community College located at 1010 Anywhere Ln, Waldorf MD, 20000. The ACS will automatically unlock the dormitory doors via an electronic proximity reader. The electronic proximity readers will be located at the front and east side entrance to the building. The ACS will be integrated with the existing ADT security camera...

...DNS Server Role Updated: January 21, 2008 Domain Name System (DNS) is a system for naming computers and network services that is organized into a hierarchy of domains. TCP/IP networks, such as the Internet, use DNS to locate computers and services through user-friendly names. To make using network resources easier, name systems such as DNS provide a way to map the user-friendly name for a computer or service to other information that is associated with that name, such as an IP address. A user-friendly name is easier to learn and remember than the numeric addresses that computers use to communicate over a network. Most people prefer to use a user-friendly name—for example, sales.fabrikam.com—to locate an e-mail server or Web server on a network rather than an IP address, such as 157.60.0.1. When a user enters a user-friendly DNS name in an application, DNS services resolve the name to its numeric address. What does a DNS server do? A DNS server provides name resolution for TCP/IP-based networks. That is, it makes it possible for users of client computers to use names rather than numeric IP addresses to identify remote hosts. A client computer sends the name of a remote host to a DNS server, which responds with the corresponding IP address. The client computer can then send messages directly to the remote host's IP address. If the DNS server does not have an entry in its database for the remote host, it can respond to the client with the address of a DNS server that...

Answer: B Explanation: In the scenario you should enable scavenging through the zone properties because scavenging removes the outdated DNS records from the DNS zone automatically. You should additionally note that patience would be required when enabling scavenging as there are some safety valves built into scavenging which takes long to pop.

...The Operating System – IP #2 Akeem Knight American Intercontinental University Online The installation planning issues relating to a number of servers and controllers are a bit complicated to understand for those that are not familiar with them. I will do my best to incorporate them into a manual in which the user will be able to easily see what happens through each phase of the planning, the issues that may occur, and how to deal with those issues. Domain controllers are defined as servers the reacts to authenticity security requests within a Windows server domain. These controllers deal with logging in and other system feature that may require a password. When planning and installing domain controllers, it always a good idea to install a minimum of two to three of them. By doing so, it reduces the probability of having to restore Active Directory database from the backup drives. If flexibility is necessary have, then the user should refer to putting file sharing programs and services onto the servers. After this is completed, it is recommended that the domain controllers should only be used for authenticity. When this is done, it allows the servers to run much quicker and more efficient, and it makes the computer work less hard to get the jobs you want done (Lewis, 2012). Next on the list is the DNS server. DNS stands for Domain Name System is a technology that manages internet and website domains. This system enables users to insert the name of a website into a computer...

...Simulation, and Engineering Analysis 11 Conclusion 16 Recommendations and Future Work 16 References 17 Executive Summary This report focuses on the activities that Team Rainier has made between January 11 and April 23, 2010. The team was originally updating the palletizing process for J. Lieb Foods. Currently J. Lieb Foods has a rotary operated control system that controls the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) which in-turn operates the palletizer. Team Rainier was updating the control system to a touch screen control for the operators and an upgraded PLC to control the palletizer. Through the process of economic analysis J. Lieb had selected the PanelMate 1000 as their touch screen and the quantum as the PLC. Due to recent developments with J. Lieb the project stalled and now has a different scope and direction. Team Rainier has been in contact with Dr. Allan Felsot of the Viticulture and Enology Program at Washington State University Tri-Cities. Dr. Felsot is the director of the green house at the university campus. Currently he is in need of controllers for the lighting system. The grow lights in the greenhouse are strictly on or off and are currently all controlled by simple on/off switches. With the installation of a PLC the lights will be programmable as to when they turn on and off, eliminating the need for someone to continually be present to physically turn the lights on and off.

...capabilities. They also determine which Windows Server operating systems you can run on domain controllers in the domain or forest. However, functional levels do not affect which operating systems you can run on workstations and member servers that are joined to the domain or forest. What are the DNS requirements to install active directory? When you install Active Directory on a member server, the member server is promoted to a domain controller. Active Directory uses DNS as the location mechanism for domain controllers, enabling computers on the network to obtain IP addresses of domain controllers. During the installation of Active Directory, the service (SRV) and address (A) resource records are dynamically registered in DNS, which are necessary for the successful functionality of the domain controller locator (Locator) mechanism. What are trust relationships and how are they used? In the Windows NT domain model, domains had to be bound together through trust relationships simply because the SAM databases used in those domains could not be joined. What this meant was that where a domain trusted another Windows NT domain, the members of the domain could access network resources located in the other domain. Defining trust relationships between domains eliminates the need for an Administrator to configure user accounts in multiple domains. What are the FSMO role defaults, how many there are and how the roles are used and/or transferred? Certain domain and enterprise-wide operations...
