...Tone Rogers IT 221 Research Assignment Part 2 & 3 11/16/11 The purpose for Global Names Zone in Windows Server 2008 DNS is to aid retirement WINS. Keep in mind that it is not a replacement for WINS. Also it is not intended to support the single-labeled name resolution of records that are dynamically registered in WINS, records which typically are not managed by IT administrators according Microsoft wizard. According to Microsoft TechNet with RODC organizations can easily deploy domain controllers in locations. Which security can be guaranteed. It differs by having better security, faster login time, and more efficient access to resource on the network. Background loading is a new feature on Windows Server 2008. When this service starts, it creates one or more threads of execution to load the zones that are stored in Active Directory. After the Global Names zone is deployed, when a Windows Vista-based DNS client attempts to resolve a single-label name, it appends the primary DNS suffix to the single-label name and submits the name query request to its DNS server. IPv6, which has been covered in previous editions of this column, is a new suite of Internet standard protocols. IPv6 is designed to address many of the issues of the current version—IPv4—such as address depletion, security, auto configuration, and the need for extensibility. One difference in IPv6 is that its addresses are 128 bits long, while IPv4 addresses are only 32 bits. IPv6 addresses...

...Research Assignment 1. Explain the function of the following Windows Server 2008 Services: A. Active Directory Federation Services B. Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services C. Active Directory Certificate Services D. Active Directory Rights Management Services AD FS is composed of three different server components: Federation Server, Federation Proxy server, and ADFS Web Agents. A federation server is the main AD FS component, which holds the Federation Service role. These servers route authentication requests between connected directories. A federation proxy server acts as a reverse proxy for AD FS authentication requests. This type of server normally resides in the demilitarized zone (DMZ) of a firewall, and is used to protect the back-end AD FS server from direct exposure to the untrusted Internet. The Web Agents component of AD FS hosts the claims-aware agent and the Windows token-based agent components that manage authentication cookies sent to web server applications. The Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services server role is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol directory service. It provides data storage and retrieval for directory-enabled applications, without the dependencies that are required for Active Directory Domain Services. Active Directory Certificate Services provides customizable services for issuing and managing public key infrastructure (PKI) certificates used in software security systems that employ public key technologies...

The HBWC’s Office of Grants Giveaway (OGG) provides for the distribution of federally supported medical grants. OGG uses a Microsoft Access database program called Small Hospital Tracking System (SHGTS) to manage the medical grant distribution process. A risk assessment of SHGTS was conducted to evaluate vulnerabilities and establish a baseline of potential threats. This document will outline an ISMS plan for HBWC and provide recommendation of additional steps needed to implement and maintain this plan. Use of the ISO 27000 series certification process will provide a framework for the ISMS.
