...NT1230 6/29/15 NT1230 – UNIT 1. EXERCISE 1. UPGRADING TO: Valerie Bernier, Dentist RE: Can I upgrade the office? Hello Ms. Bernier, Thank you for writing to me with detailed information about your computer’s operating system configuration. I am assuming that your present operating system (Windows XP) runs on 32-bit (x86) computers. I am also assuming that each of your machines have 16 GB of available hard disk space. From your systems’ configuration, it looks like your machines meet the minimum hardware requirements for an upgrade to Windows 7. For a 32-bit computer, the system needs to have the following configurations to meet the requirements for Windows 7 upgrade: Processor speed : 1 GHz or faster System Memory : 1 GB Available hard disk space : 16 GB Hardware compatibility with Windows 7 : DirectX 9 graphics adapter with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver From the information you have shared with me, it seems like your machines meet almost all the requirements to upgrade your operating system to Windows 7 Professional. With Windows 7 Professional, you will be able to participate in a Windows Server domain, it also allows you to increase your random access memory (RAM) up to 192 GB. Other add-ons that come with Windows 7 Professional are location aware printing, file system encryption, and the ability to back-up to a network location. You should note that you are upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 Professional, you may probably experience hardware...

...Stephanie McFadden NT1230 Unit 8 Assignment 1 The Just Legal Company in Figmont, Nebraska has acquired a new internet address - www.justafigmont.com. They want to set up a DNS server. What would a basic DNS file look like? Describe the file. The DNS or (Domain Name System) names the number mappings on your computer. For example www.justfigmont.com could be the number 160.92.3.6. This is achieved through the DNS. The DNS is a hierarchy. There are a small number of root domain name servers that are responsible for tracking the top level domains and who are under them. The root domain servers between them know about all the people who have name servers that are authoritative for domains under the root. A basic DNS file may look like this: C:\>nslookup Default Server: vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net Address: 4.2.2.2 > set type=mx > bellcs.com Server: vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net Address: 4.2.2.2 Non-authoritative answer: bellcs.com MX preference = 0, mail exchanger = bellcs.com bellcs.com nameserver = ns2.server766.net bellcs.com nameserver = ns.server766.net bellcs.com internet address = 66.78.26.7 "Setting up a Basic DNS Server for a Domain."

...Client-Server Networking I_V1.0 Module 2 Analysis Troubleshooting Graphics Drivers The problem is that graphics adapters are much more complex drivers making them more problematic because the device driver is likely to be revised more often, the device driver is less likely to be included with the operating system, and it is more likely to cause compatibility or functionality problems. When you update a device driver in Windows 7 it is not uncommon for new drivers to cause more problems than they solve. If the device involved is a graphics adapter, a bad driver could prevent the system from functioning. To troubleshoot hardware or driver problems, here are some techniques: • Open the Properties sheet for the device and check the Device Status box on the General tab. If the device is malfunctioning, this tab informs you of its status and enables you to launch a troubleshooter. • Open the Device Manager and delete the device entirely. Then restart the system and allow Windows 7 to detect and install the device over again. This process will cause Windows to re-allocate hardware resources to the device, which could resolve the problem if it was caused by a hardware resource conflict. • If the device or driver malfunction prevents the system from running properly, as in the case of a bad graphics driver that prevents an image from appearing on the screen, you can start the computer in Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key as the system starts. Safe Mode loads the operating system...

Without any network data, you wouldn’t be able to browse the web, view email, applications, etc… Data networks is what makes a smart phone possible. • Landline phones are used by voice networks because it needs to be directly plugged in, in order to function. The voice network for landline phones will always have good signal since is always plugged in. This is why landline use voice networks. • SMS / Text Messages is used with network data. To send out a SMS Text Message you’ll need network coverage. Depending on what type of phone sometimes you don’t need data to send out a text but you do need signal to do so. • Fax Machines uses the voice network in order to function. With voice network you can send out a fax by just dialing the number to your destination. This is how voice network is used with fax machines. • Pagers are used with network data.

...1a. The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) is the nonprofit corporation responsible for managing Internet number resources IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for Canada, many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands and the United States. Because Internet addresses must be unique and because address space on the Internet is limited, there is a need for some organization to control and allocate address number blocks. IP address management was formerly a responsibility of the IANA, which contracted with Network Solutions Inc. for the actual services. In December 1997, IANA turned this responsibility over to ARIN, which, along with Reseaux IP Europeans (RIPE), APNIC, LACNIC and AfriNIC, now manages the world's Internet address assignments and allocation B. .The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is a department of ICANN responsible for coordinating some of the key elements that keep the Internet running smoothly. Whilst the Internet is renowned for being a worldwide network free from central coordination, there is a technical need for some key parts of the Internet to be globally coordinated, and this coordination role is undertaken by IANA. Specifically, IANA allocates and maintains unique codes and numbering systems that are used in the technical standards (“protocols”) that drive the Internet. IANA’s various activities can be broadly grouped in to three categories: Domain Names IANA manages the DNS Root, the .int and .arpa domains, and an IDN practices resource. ...

What would happen if wireless devices were not governed by the WIFI Alliance and each vendor had its own standards and protocol? What impact would this have on your personal life or business communications? If the governed was not WIFI Alliance then each company will lose it customers because if you set a standard in just buying your product then you’re not going to go any farther than just a couple of months in selling them. This will lose interest in buying the product because then I would not know if it is safe or not. Lab 3.1 Review 1 1.

...NT1230 The workstations will require Windows 7 Professional to provide the necessary features needed to satisfy the small businesses needs. Reason number one is the need for backing up the workstations data. With Windows 7 Professional you can backup to the local hard drive (HDD), a DVD, or the network. With home editions you can only backup to the local HDD or to a DVD. With Professional workstations can also be scheduled to automatically backup to the server, which cannot be done with the home versions. The second reason is the ability to encrypt important files. With encryption, even if someone were to take your files, they would not be able to view them without the encryption key. The final reason is that you cannot connect to the server without Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate. Professional and above are the only versions of Windows 7 capable of connecting to a domain server. Professional is the least costly of the editions that will provide the necessary features, therefore the most cost efficient. A clean install using a migration will be required to upgrade. This is because this is the only way to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. This leaves you with two options: migrate your files to Windows 7 from XP using the built in feature or make sure all files are backed up to the server before the installation. With a migration, all user data and preferences are transferred eliminating the need to manually change the settings on each workstation. Needless to say,...
