...Active Directory structure and Domain Controller configuration: DHCP We will be using DHCP for wireless devices. All other devices (servers, printers, lab PCs, switches) will receive static IPs as they will all be permanent fixtures. I have DHCP enabled on both DC’s with a split-scope configured for the wireless address pool. This will help with load-balancing and will ensure that if DC1 goes down, wireless devices will still be able to receive an IP address from DC2. Active Directory Users and Computers User Groups are located under the Users container. All users will be in the Domain Users group, and then will be added to Domain Admins, Server Admins, Faculty, or Students based on role. Guest users will be added to Domain Guests. User accounts are generated with first initial, last name, and a number to distinguish duplicates (e.g. Anthony Matthews becomes amatthews001) Domain Controllers will remain in the Domain Controllers OU, Servers will be in the Servers OU, and workstations will be under the workstations OU in the OU that corresponds to their physical location (i.e. lab 1-3) This will allow us to apply GPOs to all devices based on location and role. Domain Controllers are WestSideDC01 and WestSideDC02, Lab machines are named with Lab name and an assigned number (e.g. Lab1PC1) Group Policy Management Currently I have the following options configured with group policy: Server Admins – adds the Server Admins security group to the Administrators group...

People become wealthy so they can buy the stuff that we will eventually be able to get later in our lives. Without rich people, we wouldn’t have all the stuff that we have now. If it wasn’t for innovators like John D Rockefeller, Steve Jobs, or Bill Gates, we would not have the stuff that we have now like cars or computers or iPads. “Income inequality in a capitalist system I truly beautiful because it provides the incentive for creative people to gamble on new ideas and it turns luxuries into common goods.” (Washington Post)....

...Has your back ever hurt from having carried so much stuff on your back? Have you ever seen your backpack start to tear from all the stuff in your bag? Have you started to see yourself hunching when you walk? If we had lockers in middle school it would solve all these problems. Lockers would make a big difference in middle school. Reasons we should have lockers are having a place to keep our stuff, personal space, and less to carry on our backs. Having a place to keep our stuff makes it easier to move from one class to another.It would be a place to keep other school supplies and even things that we just want to look at everyday. It would make it easier to move from one place to another because we have to pack and unpack after every class,...

...history 11 DBQ In the early years of the industrial revolution and the many inventions that would shape this time one was steel and the Bessemer process this also helped get and build stuff faster. They also could then help prevent fires like in cities like Chicago. But other then that three other things that helped the industrial boom like the railroads, immigration, and new technology. Some of the thing with the railroads like the miles of railroad they built from 1860 to 1900 it went from about 30,000 to about 190,000 miles (doc 2) of train track so they could move supplies from one side of the country to the other side so farmers could get there stuff to the big market. One other thing that the railroad help make possibly help make political parties and stuff like that making taxes off the railroads they would also work with some of the people that helped run the railroads. Immigration was a big part of the industrial boom with the people that it brought in to the country. It would help the nation in many different ways one of those ways is that they would get these immigrants as they would use these people of for cheap labor. This would also help with getting stuff made in these factories made it more possible for people to get cheap stuff and so everyone could get cheap stuff also they would be helped by the republicans with they helped support for more immigration. This would help give them easier ways to get into the country (doc 3). This will help the boom...

...Hoarders being attached to their stuff are benefitting the environment because they refuse to let their things leave the house. “Things become externalized parts of themselves—their memory, their plans, their feelings. To discard objects intended to future use…feels like dashing hopes, losing opportunities, squandering potential” (Chocano). They put memories into the items they buy, which is why they get anguished when someone throws it out or when they are being asked to throw it out themselves. It means so much value to them that it is hard for them to let their junk go. Although they lack the discipline of putting a limit to their buy, they should be praised for not adding onto the depletion of...

...The Right Stuff Many careers require a special type of person to perform. Other careers require not just for a special person, but a person that can go above and beyond what are considered the normal standards just to not get left behind. This beyond special type of person is considered to have the right stuff. The right stuff is a difficult term to categorize. The right stuff can be physical or it can be mental or it can be anything in between. To be part of the elite some of the qualities of a person that has the right stuff are physical fitness, mental attitude and high ethics. There is no doubt however; to be part of the elite one must have the right stuff. In the military, especially in the special operation forces, physical fitness is not just something you can work up to. Physical fitness in the sense of physical talent is necessary. Having the ability to swim ten thousand meters is something which can be worked up to but being able to swim ten thousand meters while being timed is a different story. Physical fitness is important; being left behind is not an option. Being left behind in the arena of Special Forces can mean certain death to the individual that does not have the right stuff. Hand in hand with physical fitness is mental attitude. Without the proper mental attitude the proper level of physical fitness cannot be met. To be elite the individual most have the heart to run that extra mile, swimming that extra lap and lift that extra pound. Good mental attitude...

...Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff Abstract This book report is about Richard Carlson’s book, “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff…and it’s All Small Stuff”. The book explores how small the small things can cause stress to people, and gives advice on how to combat those small things. Carlson (1997) describes different ways to calm down during the hectic, day-to-day life, and how to remove stress by changing your perspective about things. Carlson offers 100 different sections of advice, organized in chapter formats. Carlson teaches the reader to look at life another way and gives relevant examples on how to do this to eliminate daily stress. Carlson gives such advice as to “live in the present moment” and “to make peace with imperfection”, among other stress reliving advice. Carlson’s main objective is to shift the reader’s paradigm on what is really important in the day-to-day life and how changing your thinking can greatly impact your life. The book “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff…and it’s all Small Stuff” by Richard Carlson was a very profound book to read. It was both eye-opening, and an effective reminder that negative or bad things that happen to us can’t always be taken too seriously. We go about our lives and react to things, treating things as a constant emergency and don’t stop to think what that reaction may cause. This is the biggest point that Carlson tries to makes in the book, in that how we relate to our problems...

...of the biggest online auction website in the world, Ebay.com. Mavis and her husband Darnell moved to Missouri a while ago and bought a new house there because Darnell got a new job. Darnell is not a big fan of Mavis’ shopping-on-Bay-thing. According to him, they can not afford all that stuff, because the still have not sold their old house yet, and now also with all Mavis’ shopping on eBay, it does not make it easier for him to afford two houses. However Darnell does not notice everything Mavis buys, because everything looked familiar for him, or he would think that it was things from her other life she lived. So while Darnell kept working to make money to afford two houses, he let Mavis do the paper stuff at home such as bills, which leads to that he actually never sees what Mavis uses the money on. Lost auctions on stuff that she felt belonged to her, nagged her. One of the reasons why Mavis cannot stop buying things on eBay, is because moving so much makes her feel incomplete. She wants to get the stuff she feels that belongs to her, to feel settled. Mavis is pretty much lonely all the time. She has not met anyone in her new neighborhood, so when Darnell is gone for work, the only thing she can do is to sit on the computer and buy things on eBay. One day, Darnell takes Mavis out to a restaurant called The Pig Out BBQ. The plant manager had reserved a room for all his supervisors. Even though she knew that she would get outbid on...

...The things you buy can make you live in a place you don't want to, just to get a high-paying job. You feel the desire to move to an area you might not be too fond of just because you could make more money from a job in that location. Your stuff can make you keep a job you don’t like, just for the money to pay the bills. You need the money to buy your possessions, that you don’t need which makes you have to keep a job you don’t want. Your stuff could make you pay for a storage facility or buy a larger house, just to keep a roof over it. You might amass so many things that just sit there. Only buy things you know you will use on a regular basis. Your stuff could make you take on a second job just so when people come to your house, they will be impressed buy how much money you wasted. Your stuff could force you to work until you're dead, no retirement for you. Your stuff might cost so much every month that you cannot take your family on a vacation. You need to buy necessities. You are NOT what you own, that is not what defines you. Just because you own expensive items or have a lot of things, that isn’t something to be proud of. You need things to keep you alive. You need to work to buy things. The more things you buy, the more you need to work. The more you work, the less time you have to use the things you buy. It's an endless cycle. You're slowly...

...“The Story of Stuff” is a short video created by The Story of Stuff project in 2007. In the video, writers Annie Leonard and Jonah Sachs describe the process of turning natural resources into consumer goods, then into waste. The writers describe a seemingly linear five-step process: extraction, production, distribution, consumption, and disposal. Leonard and Sachs describe a carefully-scripted culture of unsustainable consumption and waste. The extraction phase of “The Story of Stuff” refers to the removal of natural resources such as timber, natural gas, coal, oil, and water. The writers emphasize the unsustainability of this phase, especially in the United States. The video states that the United States holds 5% of the world’s population but uses 30% of the world’s natural resources and creates over 30% of the world’s waste. This is a staggering statistic. Four percent of the United States’ forests remain. FOUR PERCENT. How much longer will it be before trees are things read about in storybooks (digitally printed of course, as there are no more natural resources to harvest.) The production phase is described as the addition of toxic chemicals to natural resources in order to produce the “stuff” we want. Please note the use of the word “want,” not “need.” The authors note that over 100,000 synthetic chemicals are commercially available today and are regularly used in production. Of those 100,000 synthetic chemicals, very few have been tested in a significant way to measure...
