Depending on the seriousness of the case, penalties can vary from a written warning or zero marks to exclusion from the course or rescinding the degree. Students should make themselves familiar with the full policy and procedure available at: http://www.mit.edu.au/about-mit/institute-publications/policiesprocedures-and-guidelines/Plagiarism-Academic-Misconduct-PolicyProcedure. For further information, please refer to the Academic Integrity Section in your Unit Description. Description: This assignment is to be discussed every week about half-an-hour during lab hours with the tutors. Students are required to choose one case from two cases given below. Students need to configure the domain with using either his own/group member’s name. Also, they must create a simple webpage (Using header tag only) using the student ID to display using IIS. Case 1 (Windows Sever 2008/2012 R2 and Client Environment) “ABC” is a Melbourne-based IT company. It has around 100 employees working in 4 different departments such as HR, Sales, Finance and Engineering. The management of the company needs to set up an intranet for the company with following requirements.  Configure Active Directory Server for Centralized user authentication.  Install and configure SMTP and send a test email.  Network Drive share  Profile Portability  One DHCP server to issue IP addresses for all computers.  An IIS web server for hosting company’s website with default (Index page). What to do: You are required to set up an intranet system for “ABC” company. You will first design a system that satisfies company’s system requirements. You need to show your design using diagrams and explain the functionality of each component (e.g. Domain Controller Server, DHCP server, file server, workstations, etc.). Before any hardware implementation, you would like to test the proposed system using virtual machines (Virtual box). You will be using Windows Server 2008/2012 R2 as server operating system, and Windows XP as the workstation operating system.3 Prepared by: Navneet Kaur Moderated by: Dr. Fariza Sabrina April, 2017 Using Virtual box, you will build a domain controller (DC), a DHCP server, an IIS web server and a file server. You will also need to build a few Windows XP workstations to conduct testing/configuration. There is only one domain in the system, with an OU for each department. You will need to create a number of user accounts and a few example groups in the active directory (AD). You will configure servers and make sure that they work as expected. You will need to write a report to document all your work (including system design and all practical testing/configuration. The report must be organised in an appropriate format for technical reports. You will need an Introduction section to provide background information and set up the scene for your project. You will need a few core sections to describe your design and implementation. You may want to use screenshots to show your results in the report. You will need a Summary section to conclude your report and summarise what you have done in the project. You will list any references you quote in your report using IEEE referencing style. Case 2 (Set up a Backup Domain Controller (BDC)) “XYZ” is a Sydney based IT company that has 3 departments such as Sales, Finance, and HR. The company needs to increase the efficiency of its LAN by adding a backup domain controller (BDC) to avoid any interruption in work in case of failure of Primary Domain Controller (PDC). Both PDC and BDC should be synchronised with each other to accomplish this task. BDC should be able to display the change made in PDC to provide evidence that they are working as expected.  Configure Active Directory Server for Centralized user authentication.  Set up Group Policy Management Console for users’ access privileges.  Install and configure Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server and send a test email.  One DHCP Server for assigning IP addresses to all computers.  An IIS web server for hosting company’s website with default (Index page). What to do: You are required to set up an intranet system for “XYZ” company. You will first design a system that satisfies company’s system requirements. You need to draw Network Diagram and explain the functionality of each component (e.g. Domain Controller Server, DHCP server, file server, workstations, etc.). Before any hardware implementation, you would like to test the proposed system using virtual machines4 Prepared by: Navneet Kaur Moderated by: Dr. Fariza Sabrina April, 2017 (Virtual box). You will be using Windows Server 2008/2012 R2 as server operating system, and Windows XP as the workstation operating system. Using Virtual box, you will be required to build a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and Back up domain controller (BDC), Implement Group Policy (assign some roles to users), a DHCP server, an IIS web server to host company’s website with default web page with header tag only and a STMP server. You will also need to build a few Windows XP workstations to conduct testing/configuration. There is only one domain in the system, with an OU for each department. You will need to create a number of user accounts and a few example groups in the active directory (AD). You will configure servers and make sure that they work as expected. You will need to write a report to document all your work (including system design and all practical testing/configuration. The report must be organised in an appropriate format for technical reports. You will need an Introduction section to provide background information and set up the scene for your project. You will need a few core sections to describe your design and implementation. You may want to use screenshots to show your results in the report. You will need a Summary section to conclude your report and summarise what you have done in the project. You will list any references you quote in your report using IEEE referencing style. Submission Guideline: Your assignment should be completed according to the General Guidelines for Presentation of Academic Work. 1. Write a report on the chosen scenario, which should include the following: a) A short introduction using 4-5 lines b) Design of the Network diagram (any software can be used such as Visio, Netsim etc.) c) Configuration of the project. d) Proper labelled Screenshots from implementation e) Any extra feature that you have added in your project or any difficulties you faced during your project, if any. 2. Documentation should follow the standard submission guidelines as follow: a) Front page - indicating your Group members’ names and student IDs, teaching staff (Lecturer’s and tutor’s name), a statement of what has been completed and acknowledgement of the names of all assisted5 Prepared by: Navneet Kaur Moderated by: Dr. Fariza Sabrina April, 2017 you. b) List of references used (IEEE style) – Reference sources must be cited in the text of the report, and listed appropriately at the end in a reference list. Only IEEE referencing style is acceptable for this assignment. 3. The assignment must be submitted using Moodle only. The page numbers of the assignment must be clear on each page. 4. 15 minutes per demonstration in Lab, which will cover all the features mentioned within the scope of the given scenario. All the group members will have to demonstrate. If any member of the group fails to demonstrate, he/she will lose the demonstration marks. Marking Criteria for Assignment 2: Tasks Description Marks Report Documentation of the project which should include design (Network Diagram), testing, configuration, screenshots, summary of the project, IEEE referencing. 15 Demonstration Practical configuration of server and client computers with proper technical details. The whole scenario should work. 35 Poor writing Inadequate structure, careless presentation, poor referencing technique or not using at all. -5 Total 506 Prepared by: Navneet Kaur Moderated by: Dr. Fariza Sabrina April, 2017 Marking Rubric for Assignment 2: Student Name: Student Id: Submission Due: …./…../2017 Date Submitted: .…/…/ 2017 Marker’s Name: Mark Achieved in report: /50 Grade Mark HD 40-50 DI 35-44 CR 30-34 P 25-29 Fail <25 Excellent Very Good Good Satisfactory Unsatisfacto ry Report /15 All topics are pertinent and covered in depth.
