Goal In this lab the goal was to set up a Windows Server 2012 server and install AD, DNS, and DHCP on it. We were also tasked with disabling DHCP on the RHEL7 box so that it would not interfere with DHCP running on the Windows Server. We then had to go through and set the named service on RHEL to be a slave of DNS running on our Windows Server box. I had already set up and configured AD, DNS and DHCP on this server before from a previous lab but I had the services set to disabled so that they weren’t interfering with RHEL. All I really had to do for this lab was follow existing documentation to set RHEL as a slave instead of master, then allow it to transfer from Windows Server to my RHEL IP. Windows Server 2012: Username: Administrator Password: Hunter2 While assisting another student with troubleshooting zone transfers we ran into a rather odd issue. Windows Server 2012 would not transfer properly to the RHEL box when the RHEL machine was set to slave. We verified that zone transfers were allowed on the Windows box and that all information in the named.conf was set correctly. The error message that appears was something to the effect of “CNAME: and other data” being the cause of the zone transfer not going through. To troubleshoot this further we ran the dig command on the Windows server to pull the full zone file, which to our surprise, pulled correctly and looked fine. We eventual found that the error was caused by a malformed CNAME record pointing a non-existent
37) DHCP ________ are configurable parameters that determine which subnets the DHCP server will serve.
For increased performance and security a Server Core installation will be performed on all the servers. Once the servers are up and running everything can be configured by remoting into the server from your desktop. By doing this you will also be able to administer Active Directory and all other services running on the servers using a GUI making it easier to configure versus only the power shell / command prompt available in a server core environment. For efficiency and to save money only the first server, WAI Serv1, will be deployed manually and will have the Windows Deployment Service (WDS) installed onto it. WDS will allow us to remotely install the remaining servers and operating systems on all the devices by using an image file. Using WDS we can automate the process of installing Windows Server 2012, Windows 8, and even earlier versions of Windows operating systems (Server Roles).
2. What does the /etc/resolv.conf file do? What do the nameserver lines in this file do?
When you type in a web address, e.g.www.google.com. DNS associates with the domain name, translates into IP address (for example 192.168.154.70 is the IP for google.com) and directs your Internet connection to the correct website.
For DNS we need also to test how long it takes authoritative DNS servers to respond to a request for your domain or host, including the Domain, the TLD, and the Root DNS server response times. This test provides us with information to help identify possible DNS hosting performance delays resolving our domain. It can be useful when evaluating the DNS performance of hosting providers, and general troubleshooting performance of a
The digital platform is structured around two pillars: firstly, Healthify must ensure the highest standard of privacy and security in handling sensitive health information. Secondly, since the aim of doc.com is to unify all of Canada’s health care providers under one platform, Healthify must ensure redundancy, data safety, and extremely minimal down time. Should a problem similar to that affecting the Phoenix payroll software occur, the healthcare system would be crippled. In order for it to be effective, stakeholders must be confident in doc.com’s performance. Given that doc.com will handle vast amounts of personal information, the platform will be closed. Open sourcing can be beneficial for certain pieces of software,
Servers often contain sensitive data. Employee information, customer information, and proprietary business data are just a few examples of the types of sensitive data often secured on company servers. Thus, it is critical that servers are secure from infiltration and attack. One of the best ways to secure a server from attack is to maintain system updates and patches.
A directory service is a network service that stores, organises and makes resources available to users and application. Resources like e-mail addresses, computers, and devices like printers. It also makes sure the computer networks are properly secured.
Heartbleed is a name that security researchers have given to a serious bug found in a very common piece of software used by many websites. The software name was OpenSSL which is used to encrypt the information that we send to and from websites. Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL allowed attackers to get sensitive data i.e. user’s authentication credentials (login name, password) and secret keys through incorrect memory handling in TLS (Transport layer security) heartbeat extension.
I wanted to send an email before I gave you a call back. As I stated on the phone earlier, I believe the issue is a result of re-installing FlexNet while there was a current version on your system. This is what is, mostly likely, causing the error “Unable to reread license files for vendor: freefly” to be shown when importing your license file. There are options to bypass this error; the first option uses a method to import the license via the Windows Command Prompt instead of the FlexNet Graphical User Interface. The steps are below:
where ServerName is the Name of the Domain Controller you would like to view Ex- “Server15.domain15.local”
At most times, it happens that it is just not possible to get credential manager in Windows 7 so as to be able to accept an input of sign-ons, webpages and passwords. The error code that necessarily gets displayed reads as: 0x80070057 and further states that the parameter is incorrect. It becomes quite difficult for the concerned user to be able to know regarding the cause behind the fault as they occur even when no changes are made on the computer. Running the System file Checker tool fails to eliminate the fault as explained above and this is an aspect that perplexes the gamut of all concerned
Ans: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined range of numbers configured for a given network.
Furthermore, by applying a display filter in Wireshark to examine 192.168.1.30, a device on the internal network, we can see that 192 DNS packets originated from this device (figure 3).
