...Aaron Battaglia NT1330 UNIT 2. EXERCISE 1. DNS SCENARIO It is not required to put a DNS server in such a small location for only five users and snail like network connectivity doesn’t justify the amount of money it would cost to install a server(s) in that area. One exception would be if there is a great amount of file sharing, or other information that would need to be accessed daily by other spots on the network. This sometimes but rarely happens but we could have a situation where we put it in the in the server but we set it up as a secondary or Active Directory Integrated zone type. I recommend installing the servers in the location where you have 30 users and fast internet connection. You could do this also, try storing all the files from either location in the bigger office, and in the smaller location you could remote connect through Virtual Private Network. When we do this all the information from the smaller sight is stored off site. The sight with five users can be run with a cheap router and the server that has thirty users at the office will be set up as the primary zone; since this is utilizing the fast internet connection and has more users this is our MAIN BASE which you can call home. =) If you were to run Domain Name System on domain controllers there are Active Directory Integrated zones and Active Directory Integrated zones. In classical Domain Name Systems the zone data is stored in text files which sit on the Hard Drive; which of course is protected...

...IP Troubleshooting Small Group Exercise Activity Overview: This is a small group activity consisting of an IP troubleshooting exercise consisting of five scenario based questions. The exercise begins with a review of a recommend IP troubleshooting procedure and continues with five scenario based questions. Simplified IP Troubleshooting Procedures: Host: * Verify layer-1 and layer-2 * Physical connectivity to the host to connected. Ethernet connection should indicate electrical connectivity with some type of LED indicator light. * Verify OS detecting network interface correctly by verifying drivers installed correctly and OS display the interface as “connected” * If you have access to switching infrastructure ensure that host is assigned to the proper VLAN with the correct interface switching type (access or trunk) * Verify layer-3 * Verify IP address assignment configuration with “ipconfig /all” command on MS Windows OSs * IP address and mask correctly assigned? * Default gateway; is the host on the same IP subnet as the default gateway? * Attempt to ping default gateway, * If successful host has layer-3 connectivity to directly connection network * If unsuccessful attempt to ping other host on directly connected IP subnet * If host is having issues with pinging hosts on directly connected network, verify ARP resolution by using the command ”arp –a” command.

...Unit 2 Exercise 1 DNS Scenario Hello, I have received your email, and will do my best to help you out with the tasks put before you. First, let me say that a good rule of thumb to go by for DNS as far as users, and computers is if you have 10 or more. Seeing that you have 5 it is not a must have, but if your company has the money allocated for this project than go ahead. They might have growth in mind for the near future. If that is the case then the zone you would want the 5 employees in would be secondary if not possibly try setting up a VPN virtual private network to a server at the larger office. As far as the branch office with about 30 users I would definitely use a DNS server. You would put this branch in the primary zone. Another zone or setting that could be used is Active Directory Integrate Zone. The Active Directory Integrated zone stores its data in Active Directory and it does not need DNS zone files. It is in fact an authoritative primary zone and the data gets replicated to other domain controllers as part of Active Directory’s replication process, and a benefit of this type of zone is that it uses the security features of Active Directory. Active Directory will automatically replicate DNS information to other DNS servers that are installed on Active Directory Domain Controllers. I do hope that the information I provided was helpful, and if you have any further questions please feel free to contact me...

...NT1330-Unit 2 Exercise 1 DNS Scenario Dear junior IT, Thank you for contacting me regarding your questions, and trust that I will do my best to help you. From what I understand, you work at two branch offices, and have been given the responsibility of discovering where to place an Active-Directory Integrated DNS server. You also have some question of what type DNS server would best meet your company’s needs. First let’s begin with the smaller branch supporting perhaps five user/workstations, with an unusually slow network. The question with such a small branch isn’t really about what kind of DNS server you need, but do you need a DNS server at all. If there is a very high level of file/data sharing, then yes perhaps you could benefit from a server, but configured in a secondary zone, such as an ADI. However, if there is not enough file/data sharing to really warrant the presence of the server, an ADI server could potentially slow down an already sluggish system. Now let’s move on to the second, much larger branch supporting around thirty users. You stated that this branch has a much better network connectivity than its smaller counterpart. In this case, I would recommend a DNS server set up in the primary zone. The primary zone is the primary source of information within this zone. I would also further suggest moving your servers from the smaller branch to your larger branch. All files from the smaller branch could be accessed via a “VPN” remote link. This would allow...

...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...

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.

...agencies to meet staffing needs. Holliswood Care Center (HCC), a 300 bed nursing home, with five residential floors, located in Hollis, New York is not exempt from such staffing challenges. In fact, according to Yves Pascal, Director of Nursing (DNS) at HCC, “Usually, 2-3 LPN’s per shift are required daily” (Y. Pascal, personal communication, December 15, 2013). Agency nurses are approved to work at HCC once they submit a current physical and complete an in-house facility orientation. During this orientation, agency nurses receive New York State mandated in-services, such as patient abuse and HIPPA. The nurses also receive specific instruction regarding emergency procedures, medication policy, employee conduct and procedures. However, specific unit policies and procedures, location of specific supplies are not included in the general orientation. Upon completion of the orientation, the agency nurse receives no further orientation or precepting. Thus when an agency nurse enters HCC for their first shift they are functioning independently and with limited knowledge. This is clearly a problem, which varies in degree of potential danger to patients based on the specific unit assignment. For instance, on the 7-3 shift there are 2 nurses per floor, a charge nurse and a secondary nurse. In this situation, new agency nurses have an opportunity to work in close cooperation, ask questions and seek guidance from a more seasoned and knowledgeable nurse. In contrast, the 3-11 and...

...IP Addressing Scenario Unit 1 Exercise 1 ITT Technical Institute Floyd Washington Jr. April 4, 2015 When setting up a network that will consist of many host computers, one of the first things that an administrator must do is to determine what class of networks that they must administer to a given business. This is the point where every administrator must know how to implement classful and classless IP addressing. A classful network is a network addressing architecture used in the internet from 1981 until the introduction of Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) in 1993. Classful IP addressing divides the addtess space on the internet into five address classes. Each class is coded in the first four bits of the address. Today the classful network concepts remain in play only limited scope of the default configuration parameters. There are 32 bits contained in any IPv4 IP address. A Class A network has eight bits in the network number field and 24 bits in the rest of the field and covers a range of 0-126 in the leading field. There are 128 Class A networks with 16,777,216 hosts capability per network. The range of the Class A networks are 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255. A Class B network has 16 bits in the network number field and has 16 bits in the rest of the fields and covers a range from 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255. There are 16,385 Class B networks and each network has the capability of having 65,536 network hosts. A Class C network has 24bits in the network number...
