1. Create a network plan (assuming the local
room) of how you will set up the network for
the above organization. Attach supporting
documentation which shows which protocols
you will be using and why. If your protocol
involves address ranges, you need to
choose an address range and justify your
choice.
2. Obtain specifications for the version of
Windows Server you are using and ensure
the computer you intend to install Server on
meets those requirements. Attach a copy of
the specifications to your portfolio.
3. Investigate licensing methods of Windows. If
each person were to have a computer
running XP Professional, how many CAL’s
would be required to make the computer set-
up legal? Your portfolio needs to include a
brief summary of the different licensing
methods of Windows (per server or per
user).
4. Install Windows 2003 Server.
Partition instructions:
* Allow room for bitlocker (1.5 gig)
* You need 3 partitions of approximate equal
size for your data.
Whilst Windows is installing, locate 3

different sites on the Internet which detail
vulnerabilities in Windows and/or Linux, and
summarise in your words how these
vulnerabilities work.
5. [Optional] Install Windows recovery console.
What command is used to do this?
6. Install Active Directory. Your domain name is

to be based on your name (e.g. renee.local).
Create an OU called computers, with 2 child

OUs, Desktop PCs and Laptops.
Create an OU for company employees.

7. Install loopback adaptor. Configure your

networks as follows:
Internal:
192.168.10.200+”your computer number”
External:
192.168.100+”your computer number”.0
8. Install Virtual PC on your server, and install
Windows XP as a virtual machine. Configure
VPC to use lookback adaptor.
9. Configure DHCP. Ensure XP gets valid
addresses and has proper functionality.
10. [optional] Configure DNS protocol for your
domain for www and for www2. Setup 2 IIS
websites to use these domains.
11. Join XP to the domain. Move the computer
account to the correct place in AD.
12. Install administration tools and GPMC on
your XP workstation. Create a console and
save to desktop.
13. Create a group policy and use GPMC to
import WSUS settings from our domain
controller (wilab1-dc).
What do you type to force windows to

update immediately?
14. Create home data folders for users on the D:
drive. Each division of the business requires
a folder for their division. Security
permissions MUST be configured so that
automatic folder creation with the correct
permissions occurs when adding users.
15. Create an account creation form on which
requests for user accounts are recorded.
The appropriate manager of each division
must sign off each form. You need to record
the type of access granted (which groups,
which OUs, etc). For audit purposes it is
required that you record the date on which
the account was actually created and by
whom. It is beneficial that you record the
initial password, generated by yourself, on
this form as well.
16. Create appropriate security groups

17. Requests have come in for the following
users:
payroll jim, james
accounting monte, karen
research jack, renee, jenny
manufacturing ron, dave, stephen, amy
Sales Kerrie, liz
Web Design Troy, JamesB
Fill in the appropriate forms

Create accounts (create template users
first) and place in appropriate groups.
Completed copies of ALL user account

creation forms need to be submitted in your
portfolio (scanned images).
18. Check home folders on the D: drive to
ensure each user can only access his/her
own folder.
19. Ensure each group can only access their
own folders
20. Document file system structure and
permissions for your system (e.g. where is
IIS located? Where is SYSVOL located?
Where are the active directory database
files? Where are user home and group
folders?)
21. Configure Windows auditing for the group
home folders. Access can be verified by
reviewing log files.
22. Create a software registry, auditing a
standard classroom computer hard disk. You
registry needs to be thorough, and include
details of license number and location. If any
illegal software is found, it needs to be
reported to your supervisor.
23. Download and configure a software audit
program (e.g AuditWizard, EzAudit). The
program needs to be configured to run in a
network login script. Both your server and at
least 1 workstation attached to your network
need to be audited.
Your portfolio needs to include:

• details on how you created the login
script
• A brief description of what the program

does and how it works (in your own
words)
• A screen shot of AuditWizard showing
several computers having been audited
Once completed, update Q20 (document the

file systems) to accommodate file
configuration for AuditWizard.
24. If the organization has any existing policies

or procedures for computer usage, these
need to be examined. If not, create
appropriate policies and/or procedures for:
 Virus Management
 Backup and Restore
 Desktop lockdown (e.g. company logo
on background, screensaver, mp3/wma
CD ripping, etc)
 Password security
 User management, detailing what to do
when a user leaves a company. Is the
account disabled or deleted? What
problems might exist if EFS is being
used?
 Network use policy – e.g. downloading
from the Internet, taking floppy disks
home, installing software, viewing
users’ emails.
Copies of above policies &/or procedures

need to be included in your portfolio. If no
policies exist, write some.
Where possible, use operating system

tools to enforce the above policies.
25. Create a log-on banner which advises users

that use of the system is subject to the
computer usage policy.
26. Identify and implement methods of enforcing
desktop settings (company logo on desktop).
27. Run a password audit tool (e.g. LCP504en,
LC5, ophcrack, Pro-active Password
Auditor) to check password strengths. Your
portfolio should include screen shots of this.

28. Create a backup schedule for your network.
Also provide details of media rotation
schemes.
29. Create a backup log register, which details
when back-ups were done, what was backed
up, who did the backup and the ID of the
tape or disk or DVD containing the backup.
30. Create a restore log register. This details
when a restore is made, who requested it,
why it was necessary, what was needed to
be restore and who restored it.
31. Use MS-BACKUP to create a system state
backup. Create a complete system back-up.
(Use MS BACKUP, Acronis true-image, or
Ghost to backup the C: drive to the E:).
For a more challenging experience, use

DriveImage XML and create a Bart PE boot
disk for recovery purposes.
Once you have worked out the procedure,

document it, including screen shots.
Ensure you know the difference between the

following backup types:
• Differential
• Complete
• Incremental
32. Call your facilitator now to corrupt your C:
drive, thereby necessitating a system
restore. Once you have perfected the
procedure, document it using step-by-step
instructions and screen shots if necessary.
33. Infect your computer with viruses. (ask
teacher for disk). Research each virus,
providing BRIEF details, in your OWN
words, on what it damages, how it spreads
and how to control it. Include references to
any websites used.
34. Follow removal instructions to clean your
system.
35. Install Norton Anti-Virus corporate edition on
your computer. Configure it to deploy
software and updates to workstations on the
network.
36. Prepare a disaster recovery plan for your
network. You don’t need to go into a lot of
