...Unit 1 - Assignment 1 - Windows 2008 Network Services If you have a routed local area network and high-speed links that are fairly reliable, you might be able to use one DNS server for a larger, multiple sub-netted network area. If you have a high number of client nodes on a single subnet design, you might want to add more than one DNS server to the subnet to provide backup and failover if the preferred DNS server stops responding. When determining the number of DNS servers you need to use, assess the effect of zone transfers and DNS query traffic on slower links in your network. Although DNS is designed to help reduce broadcast traffic between local subnets, it does create some traffic between servers and clients that should be reviewed, particularly when used in complexly routed LAN or WAN environments. Consider the effects of zone transfer over slower speed links, like those typically used for a wide area network (WAN) connection. Although the DNS Server service supports incremental zone transfers and DNS clients and servers can cache recently used names, traffic considerations are sometimes still an issue, particularly when DHCP leases are shortened and, as a result, dynamic updates in DNS are performed more frequently. One option for dealing with remote locations on WAN links is to set up a DNS server at these locations to provide caching-only DNS service. With most installations, you should have at least two server computers hosting each of your DNS zones for fault tolerance...

...Catalog roles in Active Directory During installation of Active Directory on a Windows Server 2000/2003/2008 all FSMO roles will automatically be installed on the first server. But Best Practice dictates to move some of theese Flexible Single Master of Operation (FSMO) roles to seperate servers. If you only have one domain controller (not recommended), there is nothing to do since all roles must be on this server, but if you have multiple servers you should move some of theese roles on to more servers. It is also important to be aware of what servers are Global Catalog servers, especially if you have more than one domain and even if only one domain, they will be prefered by applications like Exchange server. It is recommended to place the forest roles on one Domain Controller (DC) and the domain roles on another server. If not all Domain Controllers are Global Catalog servers, it is also important to place the infrastructure master on a server that is NOT a Global Catalog server. Recommended Best Practice setup of FSMO roles. Domain Controller #1 Place the two forest roles on this server. * Schema Master * Domain Master Domain Controller #2 Place the domain roles on this server. * RID Master * Infrastructure Master * PDC Emulator If more domains exist in the forest, place the domain roles on a server in theese domains like Domain Controller #2 Global Catalog configuration.

...Unit 1 Research Project – Overview of Windows Server 2008 Features CIS 245 – Windows Client and Server Unit 1 Research Project Abstract – The objective of the Unit 1 research project was to provide an overview on two of the five topics that were listed in the assignment page. The overview is designed to give a general understanding of the topic, the function it provides, when it would be used, what benefit it provides, and any other pertinent information. For this assignment I chose Network Access Protection (NAP) and Client Access Licenses (CALs). Network Access Protection - Network Access Protection, or NAP, is a tool that allows network administrators to manage the access to network resources, as well as monitor real-time events on the network (Palmer, 2011). It has features that ensure all clients have the proper security protocols in order to remain connected to the network. If something is missing, it will automatically update the computer so that it matches the requirements for network access. It also performs continuous monitoring even after access has been granted to make sure they remain in compliance. As a security protocol, if a computer is found to lack the proper settings, NAP will quarantine it to limit what parts of the network it can use, or if it is found that it does not meet any of the requirements, it will quarantine it completely until it becomes compliant. Nap is also used when clients are connected to the network for the first time. It will...

...Unit 9 Assignment 1 GPO Planning Scenario To Junior IT Admin: You can use Windows Server 2008 Group Policy to manage configurations for groups of computers and users, including options for registry-based policy settings, security settings, software deployment, scripts, folder redirection, and preferences. Group Policy preferences new in Windows Server 2008, are more than 20 Group Policy extensions that expand the range of configurable policy settings within a Group Policy Object (GPO). In contrast to Group Policy settings preferences are not enforced. Users can change preferences after initial deployment for information about Group Policy Preferences. By using Group Policy, you can significantly reduce an organization’s total cost of ownership. Various factors such as the large number of policy settings available, the interaction between multiple policies, and inheritance options can make Group Policy design complex. By carefully planning, designing, testing, and deploying a solution based on your organization’s business requirements, you can provide the standardized functionality, security, and management control that your organization needs.

...Unit 1. Exercise 1. IP Addressing Scenario Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes In this Exercise, you will explain IP address components, contrast classful and classless IP addressing, and explain the function of DNS and DHCP. Assignment Requirements Respond to the following scenario with design considerations and recommendations: You are an IT Administrator for a newly founded company and have been tasked with designing an IP addressing scheme and a plan for allocation and management of IP addresses. The company will currently have a single, physical location with approximately 145 hosts (computers, printers, etc.). IT plans should accommodate 50% growth within the next two years. At a minimum, address these specific questions, in addition to any other concerns/considerations: 1. What subnet range/s should be used? 2. Should IP addresses be dynamically or statically assigned? 3. Should one or more network/subnets be used? 4. If DHCP is used, should a router, firewall or Windows Server be utilized and why? Respond in detail, justifying your recommendations. In your response, consider future growth and design considerations. Submission Requirements 1-2 pages, Microsoft Word, double-spaced, 12 pt. font In response to your question I would use a classless addressing and start at 172.16.0.0 for your network address with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This gives you 254 hosts per subnet which will easily cover your 50% growth over the next...
