Systems Administration And Network Services

Installing and configuring key services on Windows Server 2012 was a breeze thanks to its intuitive GUI. My favorite part of this lab was the feeling of control over the network from a single machine. Instead of switching to a different VM, I was able to simply switch to a different window. Windows Server 2012 made it easy to push changes across the network, allowing me to set up the same network configuration in far less time. Even working with only 7 VMs, I can clearly see why tools like Active Directory are all but necessary in a large enterprise network. Using a centralized controller like Windows Server 2012 would save hundreds of man-hours over time, increasing efficiency and profitability for the company. I look forward to working with Windows Server 2012 further and learning more of its capabilities in the labs to

Before sending to each store, clothes are ironed in advance and packed on hangers, with security and price tags fixed beforehand. This system helps staff in Zara utilize their time efficiently with the inventory during busy periods.

The objectives of this lab were to install essential services such as Active Directory, Dynamic Host Configuration Service, Domain Name Service and Network Time Service on a Windows Server Platform. I used windows server 2016 technical review version 3 and successfully installed all the mentioned services on it. In this lab we used all services on windows as primary and I configured the services on Linux as secondary services.

Yes, Jeff did a great job and performed as I expected him to. He was very welcoming when I joined CapTech. Any questions I went to him with he was able to answer and if he wasn’t he made sure to point me in the right direction to get an answer.

I created generic containers, OUs, and Group Policy objects. I have performed backup and recovery of Active Directory and after learning and performing these skills in the lab, I continued using many of them in the production environment as a member of the Windows Server engineering and deployment teams. Active Directory, users, and systems within Active Directory utilize DNS as a mechanism to locate domain controllers. Additionally, the namespace of the Active Directory domain structure is built on top of DNS naming structures (Microsoft, 2014). As a result, a functioning DNS is required in order to install and configure Active Directory. In support of the Active Directory installation for the Windows Server lab, I installed and managed DNS with Active Directory integrated zones. I configured forwarding with the corporate production DNS infrastructure. I created, edited and deleted static host [A], alias [CNAME] and reverse [PTR] records for Non-Windows hosts. I installed and managed DHCP in the Windows Server lab, and managed scopes and IP reservations for servers. I also implemented Distributed File System [DFS] services to create software installation shares that were available in each of the lab’s local environments. DFS provides a mechanism to share files that are distributed in multiple locations across a network in a manner that

Only the primary and backup Network Administrator can create new accounts. The Security Administrator, Human Resources (HR), and the Help Desk will be automatically notified by the system when new accounts are created. A third-party software will be used to notify the Security Administrator, the Network Administrator, and the Help Desk of account privilege escalation, changes to the membership of Administrator Groups, and account deletions. To improve auditing, generic administrator accounts are prohibited. Administrators must use their own user IDs to access information systems. Accounts that are not used for more than 30 days should be disabled automatically and reviewed

Identify 5 to 10 expected ongoing management tasks that might help the organization to prepare to administer the network operating system:

The main goal for this lab exercise was to implement a Windows 2012 Data Server onto the virtual network used by the previous labs. Sever services including DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), DNS (Domain Name Service), AD (Active Directory), and Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer. DNS also known as Domain Name Service is a network service used for distributing domain names and mapping IP addresses to them and keeping track of connections on the local level. DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used to assign IP addresses to network devices connected to the server. An Active Directory is used to authorize and check the credentials of the users and machines connected to the network. The process for

Systems administration and network administration are, in many respects, very similar jobs. Both positions are highly involved in maintaining the computer systems in an organization, and, in some smaller firms, the position may be handled by the same individual. However, while there are significant similarities between systems administration and network administration, there are differences in the roles as well. Basically speaking, system administration focuses on computer systems and networks, while network administration looks at maintenance and upkeep of the hardware and software that composes the network (Entrance Exams 2012, 2012). Because there is obviously an overlap between the two different job descriptions, it can be difficult to understand why it is so important for information technology professionals to differentiate between network and systems administration. However, when one understands the different roles of the two different positions, it becomes clear that, why they might overlap, and why a single individual might be able to handle the position in a small organization, there are actually substantial differences between the two positions. Particularly in a large organization, the two jobs may need to be handled by different professionals with different skill sets. It is because of these different skill sets that the industry has been so adamant about differentiating between systems and network

Physical media is what physically connects the computers connected on the internet. For this network two physical media will be used to allow access to the application layers of the system. The coaxial cables will be used to create a WAN. While a wireless protocol will be used in allowing users to roam within the network. A LAN will be represented as follows;

Microsoft has equipped the organizations with the Windows server operating system and other server tools like Exchange Server, SQL Server, SharePoint Server, etc. In addition, there are inbuilt server tools like DNS Server, DHCP Server, File Server, and Active Directory to create a complete networking infrastructure inside an organization. However, the server and networking management using the traditional Microsoft tools become obsolete at a level. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how these tools fail to serve the purpose and why the need of using third party tools arises.

There are various stages which we used to execute and planned in client and server system through virtual machine (Windows XP & Centos). Executions of a framework which i made as a private entry sort out in the time of openvpn (Vpn server) and access the affiliation possessions through Vmware workstation and the affiliation was secured in both client and server. The report plots DHCP, DNS Suffix, Nagios and open vpn setup approach of linux server, dissects some outline organizations with accomplishment results.

Management is one of the most important human activities and has critical impact on life, growth, development or destruction of an organisation. In an organisation, managers with any rank or status should understand their basic duties i.e. maintaining a sustainable conductive environment where people can fulfil their commitments and objectives through collaborative approach. (Akhtar, 2011) A manager is responsible to achieve the business’s goals, visions and objectives by planning, organising, leading and controlling. Dubrin (1994) stated that in every organisation each member of staff must plan, organise, make decisions, and control the resources they need to accomplish the results expected

Here are the print screens of how I have run this program first input 1 to add data. My input was 25, 80, 10, 5, 40. When I input 20 so there would be another number waiting to go in the Que. Then I entered 2 to remove data being 25, it removed 25 but did not replace the last number 20
