Design, Installation and Configure Enterprise Network Servers.

Learning Outcomes:

This assignment is designed to assess students' knowledge and skills related to the following learning outcomes:

a. Analyse human usability in systems and documentation within the context of constantly changing modern industry requirements
b. Plan and implement various application servers for an organisation

Assignment Description

Form a group of two students and inform your lab tutor of the names and student IDs of your group members. Choose one (1) requirement scenario given in the list below. Assume that your group has been hired by the client company to develop a networked system for their required services as described in your chosen scenario. Your task in this assignment is to analyse client requirements, design the solutions, implement, configure, and troubleshoot implemented solutions, and finally to prepare a system documentation report meeting the client requirements and following a standard industry template. Detailed requirements are provided below:

1. For your chosen scenario, (i) analyse client requirements, (ii) identify and propose the required servers and server roles (services), and (iii) provide required configurations for your chosen scenario.

2. Perform the configurations using either virtually or physically installed server OS to realise the scenario. Students can use Windows Server 2008 or a higher version, or Linux server if appropriate, which will depend on the scenario chosen. Your submission should include screenshots of each important step.

3. Prepare a detailed system documentation report to cover your work done in steps 1 and 2 above, using a standard template. You have the freedom to create a template, with company name, logo, etc., for your client and use that for your documentation report. This report will serve as an important part of backup and disaster recovery documentation for the organisation in your chosen scenario, and can be used for training new IT staff in the organisation. As such, you must consider human usability factors and include the configurations using description of each important step, and screenshots corresponding to those in a way that will be useful to the target users of the document. Essential sections of the documentation are provided in the marking guide, however, you can include additional sections if deemed useful.

You must configure the domain(s) using group members' names (e.g., sajeen-joy-sam). If the chosen scenario requires a web server, the group must create a simple webpage (using html header tag only) to display the student ID numbers of the group members, which needs to be stored on and displayed from the created IIS (web server).

This documentation report (one report per group) is to be submitted on Moodle in Week-11.

4. Use your configured system to demonstrate individually the implemented scenario during your week-12 lab. Individual understanding will be tested during your demonstration.

Scenarios (Choose one only for your group to work on):

Scenario 1: Local Area Network (LAN) to support Windows Server and Client Environment

People Software is a software development company requiring the setting up of a LAN for their office located in Sydney. They have four departments: Developers, Marketing, Operations, and Finance. All objects (e.g., users, computers, etc.) belonging to these departments need to be created within their respective OU for their own department. People Software requires the following LAN services:

1) Centralised user authentication
2) Print server for users
3) All computers should acquire the IP addresses automatically from a server
4) Hosting of their own website using their own server
5) The company wants to store all the files on a separate file server and only users with appropriate access will be able to access them (not every user should have access to the files). You can assume which users/groups will have access to these files, and state your assumption clearly.

Scenario 2: Local Area Network (LAN) to support Windows Server with multiple domains

TrueColour is a paint wholesale company needing to setup a LAN for their main office which is located in Perth. They have three different departments named Operations, Sales and Marketing. All objects (e.g., users, computers, etc.) belonging to those departments should have their own OU. The Clients require the following technologies to be implemented within their LAN:

1. Two different domains. One is allocated for the administrator and the other is allocated for everyone else (users).
2. Centralised user authentication for different domains
3. All computers should acquire their IP addresses automatically from a server
4. The Company should host a website from their own server
5. Your configuration should reflect the above criteria and display different privileges assigned to the
different domain's users belonging to these domains.

Scenario 3: Local Area Network (LAN) to support Windows Sever and Linux Client Environment

With the growing base of users of Linux, People Software, a software company which was planning to create a Windows server based LAN decided to also support Linux clients to authenticate using the Active Directory. The company has three different departments named Operations, Finance and Marketing. All objects (e.g., users, computers, etc.) belong to these departments should have their own different OU. The Clients require the following technologies to be implemented within their LAN:

1. The company requires a centralised user authentication support for Linux clients
2. All computers should acquire IP addresses from a server
3. The Company should host a website through their own server
4. There should be hardware virtualisation platform

Scenario 4: Setting up technology/features for Linux Server and Windows Client Environment

A Canberra based new company is looking at setting up a LAN for their office. They have three different departments named General, Finance, and Marketing. All objects (e.g., users, computers, etc.) belonging to these departments should have their own different OU. The users require the following technologies to be implemented within their LAN:

1. The client wants to use the Linux operating system as a server side operating system with the LDAP/SAMBA service to communicate between windows client machines and a Linux server
2. Centralised user authentication for Windows clients
3. The company wants to store all the files on a separate file server and only users with appropriate access will be able to access them (not every user should have access to the files). You can assume which users/groups will have access to these files; state your assumptions clearly, as well as configure accordingly.
