Assignment Description Six scenarios are furnished below, choose a scenario and form the list and following are your tasks: Find your group mates who have selected the same scenario, each group should not be more than three members, two are acceptable. Realise the scenario during demonstration using either virtually or physically installed OS. A demonstration report (actual demonstration or screen shots demonstration) has to be submitted within 12th Week lab, based on the group’s implementation of the scenario. Same report must also be submitted on Moodle. This report should contain: The important steps of how the scenario was implemented / configured. Students need to configure the domain using either his/her own name or a group member’s name. Also, they must create a simple webpage (Using header tag only) using the student ID’s of the group, which shall be displayed using the IIS. Scenarios: Scenario 1: (Windows Sever and Client Environment) There is a company called “ABC” needs to setup a LAN for the main office which is located in Melbourne. They have three different departments named Operations, Finance and Marketing. All objects belonging to these departments should have their own different OU. The Clients require the following technologies to be implemented within their LAN: Centralised user authentication Roaming Profiles for users All computers should acquire the IP addresses from a DHCP Server The Company should host a website as well, so a separate IIS server is also required The Company also wants to store all the files on a separate file server and only users with appropriate access will able to access them. Scenario 2: Implementation of BDC (Backup Domain Controller) There is a company called “MNO” needs to increase the efficiency of its LAN by adding a backup domain controller (RODC/BDC), so it can provide all the services in case of failure of the primary domain controller (RWDC/PDC). In order to implement this, there should be auto synchronisation between the RWDC/PDC and the RODC/BDC. Centralised user authentication All computers should acquire an IP addresses from a DHCP Server The Company should host a website, so a separate IIS server is also required BDC should be able display the change made in RWDC/PDC. Scenario 3: (Windows Sever and Linux Client Environment) There is a company called “XYZ” that needs to setup a LAN for the main office, which is located in Melbourne. They have three different departments named Operations, Finance and Marketing. All objects belong to these departments should have their own different OU. The Clients require the following technologies to be implemented within their LAN: Centralised user authentication Roaming Profiles for users All computers should acquire IP addresses from a DHCP Server The Company should host a website, so a separate IIS server is also required The Company also wants to store all the files on a separate file server. Only users with appropriate access will be able to access files on this separate file server. Scenario 4: (Linux Server and Windows Client Environment) There is a company called “DEF” that needs to setup a LAN for the main office, which is located in Melbourne. They have three different department named Operations, Finance and Marketing. All objects belonging to these departments should have their own different OU. The Clients require the following technologies to be implemented within their LAN: The Client wants to use the Linux operating system as a server side operating system with the LDAP/SAMBA service to communication between windows client machines and a Linux server. Centralised users authentication Company also want to store all the files on a separate file server. Only users with appropriate access will able to access these files. Scenario 5: (Windows Server with multiple domains) There is a company called “GHI” needs to setup a LAN for the main office which is located in Melbourne. They have three different departments named Operations, Finance and Marketing. All objects belong to those departments should have their own OU. The Clients require the following technologies to be implemented within their LAN: Centralised user authentication for different domains. All computers should acquire their IP addresses from a DHCP Server The Company should host a website, so a separate IIS server is also required 4. There will be two different domains. One is allocated for the administrator and the other is allocated for everyone else. Your configuration should reflect the above criteria and display different privileges assigned to the different domains. Scenario 6: (Windows Server and clients using hardware router and switches) There is a company called “JKL” needs to setup a LAN for the main office which is located in Melbourne and another office located in Sydney. They have three different departments named Operations, Finance and Marketing. All objects belonging to these departments should have their own different OU. The Clients require the following technologies to be implemented within their LAN: Centralised user authentication All computers should acquire their IP addresses from a DHCP Server The Company should host a website, so a separate IIS server is also required The Company also wants to store all the files on a separate file server. Only users with appropriate permissions will able to access these files. The Clients in the Sydney office are connected via a router and switch to the Melbourne  Marking criteria: Example of marking criteria is shown in following table.
