...30, 2011 Windows Server Proposal For Worldwide Advertising Inc. Below is a project for my Windows Server Administration Course. This was the first course of the kind I have taken. Let me know what you think. Summary Servers are the backbone of an organization. The implementation and configuration of a server network can determine the prosperity or failure of a business. After reviewing the needs of Worldwide Advertising Inc., I have come up with what I think is the best solution. I will be covering infrastructure server roles such as: DHCP and DNS, which work behind the scenes, to the application servers which give life to your advertising dreams. I have prescribed an active directory schema that will require effortless management. I have proposed a File and Sharing implementation that suites a growing enterprise as well as state of the art data storage. I have also noted some preliminary estimates of scheduling and manpower required for the solution. Deployment and Server Edition Throughout the infrastructure the most advanced server operating system, Windows Server 2008 R2, will be used. Enterprise edition will be leveraged on all servers, because it has 4 virtual licenses per OS. To increase reliability and security Server Core will be on all servers. There will be a total of 10 servers for the Worldwide Advertising Inc. internal network. The majority of the servers will be managed from the Los Angeles main office while four servers will be located...

...1.0 INTRODUCTION The dawn of the information and communication technology (ICT) in a business enterprise is inevitable. Companies that follow with the traditional way of doing business and cannot adapt with the times will be left behind, losing market share, facing operational and financial constrains and eventually fold up as a last resort. The company, One2One Wedding Planners Sdn. Bhd. that we are to develop the B2B, is no exception. Therefore the whole wedding planner concept needs to be revolutionalized through the E-business to promote the sale of the company’s products and services, to react to the present fast and ever changing business environment, and to capture a substantiate slice of the market share. Precisely, we are going to propose to the Company to make use of the capabilities of the computer and the Internet to sell its products and services to the general public. By having a web site in the internet, managers and staffs of the Company will be able to manage their daily business activities in an open environment. This means that the internet allows managers and staffs to interact with the company’s customers anytime and anywhere without having to meet up personally. 2.0 FIVE ADVANTEGES OG HAVING BUSINESS TO BUSINESS (B2B) 1. Removes location and availability restrictions The internet reaches across the world and spans all time zones. That means that when businesses take their operations online, they have the same capabilities. With a physical store...

...8, ASSIGNMENT 2Ireti Kayode Strayer University | | CIS 175 Dr. William McConnell12/03/2013 | | | | | Ocper, Inc. Server Proposal Given Ocper, Inc.’s expanding network scenario there is a clear need to maximize the available resources between employees then it is appropriate to add additional servers to facilitate the sharing of files as well as the configuration of remote access services to allow for remote and secure working. In order to complement the existing network scenario this proposal is based around the configuration and deployment of Microsoft Windows Server 2012 as the network operating system. This is a stable and secure server environment which will allow the designated services to be configured and will equally allow for scalability while at the same time decreasing the overall maintenance and administration to support the network and associated servers. Given the size of the current organization and the IT systems at present, Windows Server 2012 Standard edition would be the most appropriate version for deployment as this will also keep the up-front costs down to a minimum – there is no requirement for the Enterprise Edition whose features will not be required in this implementation. One of the critical roles for the new server implementations will be that of a File Server capability – this can be easily configured within the Ocper, Inc. network through a Static IP address being assigned to this machine and then the File...

...RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL PREPARED FOR SIMPLE GETAWAYS, INC JANUARY 1, 2015 Table of Contents Section 1: Introduction3 Section 2: Current Software & Hardware4 Overview of Challenges4 Section 3: Proposed Software & Hardware Solution 5 SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) document is to identify the software arrangement and business process that will allow Simple Getaways to address their change management needs as well as streamline their internal processes most effectively. Section Two: Current Software and Hardware As of today, Simple Getaways is utilizing a Windows Server fileserver to maintain login credentials specific to each of their twelve offices. Each office has their own Microsoft Exchange server to handle e-mails. As such, Simple Getaways effectively has 12 environments to maintain, both hardware and software license-wise. Communication via offices is not streamlined; while documents can be emailed, internal documents are still handled with physical paper, even though each of the employees have a Windows-based system with the Microsoft Office suite at their disposal. Overview of Challenges Current limitations of their software solution cause the largest issue to be incorrect data being propagated through the company. Because of a lack of change management tracking within their current software set, it is possible for key stakeholders to be working concurrently on a document while being...

...Worldwide Advertising, Inc. has hired our IT consulting company for their Windows network services infrastructure needs. With the recent acquisition of Media Guru Group, WAI will need many advanced Windows features and roles setup on their existing network in order for it to work properly with the new company. It is our goal to mitigate any issues that arise during the merger so that employees and IT staff do not experience any downtime or interruption. Although it is not absolutely necessary since a domain functional level of 2003 will work with a domain controller running Windows Server 2012 we would like to have both servers on the same platform. To do this the first thing that will need done is to raise the forest functional left of the server running Windows Server 2008 within Media Guru Group. In order to do this we will run adprep /forestprep to update the Active Directory schema. We will then need to run adprep /domainprep to prepare the domain.

...Windows Network Proposal Travis Allan Parrish 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...
