...Virtual Lab 1 1. Open the Server Manager console on your Windows Server 2008 computer. What selections are available to you in the left pane? The selections available to me include: Roles, Features, Diagnostics, Configuration, and Storage. 2. Using the Windows Help option, describe any roles and features that are currently installed on this server. There are currently no Roles or Features installed on the server. 3. Explain in your own words why it is a best practice to configure a server, such as a DNS server, with a static IP address rather than allowing it to obtain an IP address using DHCP. To put it simply, if the IP address of the server is consistently being changed by DHCP, then the ports that were opened up to allow the server to work through the firewall are going to be remain opened on the server’s old address, and not necessarily on the new one. This could cause applications to not run properly or at all, but worse, could create security vulnerabilities for the network. A static IP address allows other workstations on the network to easily keep track of the server. 4. Explore the netsh command menus. Record three commands that you can issue from the command line using netsh, and describe what each command does. 1. Exec- runs a script file 2. Add- adds a configuration entry to a list of entries 3.

...University of Maryland University College Shiv LLC will greatly benefit from using Windows Server 2012 to manage their network. Windows Server 2012 brings great updates to security and functionality over past editions of Windows. In this proposal, the major areas I will cover are Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, File Services, Remote Services, and WSUS (Windows Server Update Services). These major roles have features that will make Shiv LLC Company’s infrastructure run smoothly. Active Directory Shiv LLC will have sites across a large geographic location. Because of this, a regional domain model should be used. Domains will be broken down into where users are working. For example, currently Shiv LLC has three locations, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Houston. This means there will be three domains, representing each of these cities. This strategy will make sure the network can be maintained by regional administrators, who will only worry about users in their area of the network. With this style of deployment, it can be difficult to decide what will be the forest root domain. The main staff for the company is in two cities, Dallas and Houston. This makes it difficult to make one of these sites the forest root domain. To make this decision neutral, a dedicated forest root domain can be suggested. This domain will be created only to function as the forest root. It will not contain and users, except for service administrator accounts for the forest root. It will not represent...

...Lab 1.2 - Assignment 1) What does DACL stands for and what does it means? DACL (Discretionary access control list) is one of the most popular ACLs (access control lists). It allows or denies trustees access to computer and network resources. It identifies group permissions and determines whether to allow access a securable object or process 2) Why would you add permissions to a group instead of the individual? Because it’s more easy to handle a group than individual employees. Once you have the group setup with the permissions, you add or remove employees to there and you don’t have to do anything else 3) List at least 3 different types of access control permissions available in Windows Read, Write, Full Control, or No Access 4) What are the least permissions that you need in order to view the contents of a folder? Read 5) What are other available Password Policy Options that could be enforce to improve security? a) Strong and complex passwords: * Letters (capital and lower case) * Numbers * Symbols b) Educate users * Do not write passwords in front of the computer * Do not share passwords with friends and family * Do not use common names (friends, spouse, pet, etc) c) Administrators should follow best practices * Force employees to change passwords every 90 days * Do not let them use old passwords * Force employees to use minimum 8 characters 6) Is using the option to “store password using reversible...

...Understanding Group Policy Objects – There are 3 subheadings listed as Local GPOs, Domain GPOs, and Starter GPOs. The differences between these groups are explained here. 2. B – Ch16 – Page 463 – Under – Viewing the Group Policy Container - By default, installing Active Directory Domain Services on Windows Server 2012 creates two GPOCs, corresponding to two default GPOs: Default Domain Policy and Default Domain Controller Policy. The two GPCs are named using globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) assigned to the GPOs during their creation. 3. D – Ch16 – Page 482 – Under – Create Local GPO – After logging on to a Windows Computer using an account with Administrative privileges, the Server Manager Console appears and the steps to create Local GPO, then Secondary GPO, then a Tertiary GPO and the policy settings for each GPO are outlined here. 4.
