Academic integrity, plagiarism and collusion

Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity is about the honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the
work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.
As a student, you are required to:
 undertake studies and research responsibly and with honesty and integrity
 ensure that academic work is in no way falsified
 seek permission to use the work of others, where required
 acknowledge the work of others appropriately
 take reasonable steps to ensure other students cannot copy or misuse your work.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism means to take and use another person's ideas and or manner of expressing them and to pass
them off as your own by failing to give appropriate acknowledgement. This includes material sourced
from the internet, RTO staff, other students, and from published and unpublished work.
Plagiarism occurs when you fail to acknowledge that the ideas or work of others are being used, which
includes:
 Paraphrasing and presenting work or ideas without a reference
 Copying work either in whole or in part
 Presenting designs, codes or images as your own work
 Using phrases and passages verbatim without quotation marks or referencing the author or
web page
 Reproducing lecture notes without proper acknowledgement.
Collusion
Collusion means unauthorised collaboration on assessable work (written, oral or practical) with other
people. This occurs when a student presents group work as their own or as the work of someone else.


Collusion may be with another RTO student or with individuals or students external to the RTO. This
applies to work assessed by any educational and training body in Australia or overseas.
Collusion occurs when you work without the authorisation of the teaching staff to:
 Work with one or more people to prepare and produce work
 Allow others to copy your work or share your answer to an assessment task
 Allow someone else to write or edit your work (without rto approval)
 Write or edit work for another student
 Offer to complete work or seek payment for completing academic work for other students.
Both collusion and plagiarism can occur in group work. For examples of plagiarism, collusion and
academic misconduct in group work please refer to the RTO’s policy on Academic integrity, plagiarism and
collusion.
Plagiarism and collusion constitute cheating. Disciplinary action will be taken against students who
engage in plagiarism and collusion as outlined in RTO’s policy.
Proven involvement in plagiarism or collusion may be recorded on students’ academic file and could lead
to disciplinary action.

Feedback to student
Feedback on students’ assessment performance is a vital element in their learning. Its purpose is to
justify to students how their competency was assessed, as well as to identify and reward specific
qualities in their work, to recommend aspects needing improvement, and to guide students on what
steps to take.
Feedback defines for students what their trainer/assessor thinks is important for a topic or a subject.
At its best, feedback should:
• Be provided for each Unit Assessment Task (UAT)
• Guide students to adapt and adjust their learning strategies
• Guide trainers/assessors to adapt and adjust teaching to accommodate students’ learning
needs
• Be a pivotal feature of learning and assessment design, not an add-on ritual
• Focus on course and unit learning outcomes
• Guide students to become independent and self-reflective learners and their own critics
• Acknowledge the developmental nature of learning.
If students have not received proper feedback, they must speak to compliance and quality assurance
department/administration department in the RTO/person responsible for looking after the quality
and compliance services of the RTO.

Question 1: Answer the following questions:
A. Explain the features required for Network Operating System (NOS). Write your answer in
100-150 words.
B. What are the two (2) latest server applications compatibility issues and their resolution
procedures? Write your answer in 100-150 words.
A network operating system is an operating system designed for the sole purpose of
supporting workstations, database sharing, application sharing and file and printer access
sharing among multiple computers in a network. Certain standalone operating systems, such
as Microsoft Windows NT and Digital’s OpenVMS, come with multipurpose capabilities and
can also act as network operating systems. SUPPORT The first characteristic of network
operating systems is the support component. Network operating systems provide support for
the multiple processors, applications, and hardware devices that make up a network. The
systems support the users accessing the network as well as process requests for specific
documents and usage of hardware. NOSs also provide protocol requests from users,
including Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and other protocols.
Controls Support The second characteristic of network operating systems is the security
component. NOSs manage the authorization and authentication of users, computer
workstations, and other devices accessing a network. Irfan intruder tries to access a
network, the NOS blocks the unauthorized user/computer and logs the intrusion attempt
within its log files. The NOS also manages software and hardware installations to keep users
from installing unauthorized software and devices.
Setup The third characteristic of network operating systems is the user setup component.
Network operating systems create user accounts and manage the user logging into and out
of the network. The systems also manage what file and directory services a specific user has
access to, users accessing the network remotely, and how the networks graphical interface
looks to specific users.
Printing and File Services The fourth characteristic of network operating systems is the
printing and file services component. Like other operating systems, network operating
systems manage all printing, storage, backup, and duplication services for computers and
users accessing a network. The systems also control access to the Internet, local-area
(LAN) and wide-area networks (WAN), port routing, and internal web services known as
Intranet. An NOS filters documents and files through the printing/file services immediately.
More than one user can send documents and files through the network for printing, backing
up, or other types of processing.
EMAIL SERVICES The Fifth and final characteristic of network operating systems is the
email component. An NOS manages electronic mail, also known as email, for the entire
network, including users accessing the NOS remotely and from the Internet. The NOS
blocks SPAM and other problematic emails and sends/receives email, as well as lets user use.
Software compatibility can refer to the compatibility that a particular software has running on
a particular CPU architecture such as Intel or PowerPC. Software compatibility can also refer
to ability for the software to run on a particular operating system. Very rarely is a compiled
software compatible with multiple different CPU architectures. Normally, an application is
compiled for different CPU architectures and operating systems to allow it to be compatible
with the different system. Interpreted software, on the other hand, can normally run on many
different CPU architectures and operating systems if the interpreter is available for the
architecture or operating system. Software incompatibility occurs many times for new
software released for a newer version of an operating system which is incompatible with the
older version of the operating system because it may miss some of the features and


functionality that the software depends on.
Hardware compatibility
Hardware compatibility can refer to the compatibility of computer hardware components with
a particular CPU architecture, bus, motherboard or operating system. Hardware that is
compatible may not always run at its highest stated performance, but it can nevertheless
work with legacy components. An example is RAM chips, some of which can run at a lower
(or sometimes higher) clock rate than rated. Hardware that was designed for one operating
system may not work for another, if device or kernel drivers are unavailable. For example,
much of the hardware for Mac OS X is proprietary hardware with drivers unavailable for use
in operating systems such as Linux.
Resolution procedures: Using the Program Compatibility Wizard

The Program Compatibility Wizard is a simple application that detects issues on your PC
and can automatically fix them for you. Or, if the wizard detect an issue, you can
simply point it at the misbehaving application and have it do its thing, using recommended
settings or a manual troubleshooting process.
Question 2: Summarise the following network service configurations:

A. Domain name system (DNS)
B. Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)
C. File transfer protocol (FTP)
D. Mail
E. Network time protocol (NTP)
F. Proxy
G. Server messages block (SMB)
H. Web
Write 50 to 100 words for each of the configuration.
DNS: The Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the Internet. People get to data online
through space names, as nytimes.com or espn.com. Internet browsers connect through Internet
Protocol (IP) addresses. DNS makes an interpretation of area names to IP addresses so programs
can stack Internet assets. Every gadget associated with the Internet has a remarkable IP address
which different machines use to discover the gadget. DNS servers kill the requirement for people
to retain IP tends to, for example, 192.168.1.1 (in IPv4), or more mind boggling more up to date
alphanumeric IP addresses.
DHCP: Every gadget on a TCP/IP-based system must have an interesting unicast IP deliver to get to
the system and its assets. Without DHCP, IP addresses for new PCs or PCs that are moved starting


with one subnet then onto the next must be designed physically; IP addresses for PCs that are
expelled from the system must be physically recovered.
With DHCP, this whole procedure is computerized and overseen halfway. The DHCP server keeps
up a pool of IP locations and leases a deliver to any DHCP-empowered customer when it begins up
on the system. Since the IP addresses are dynamic (rented) as opposed to static (forever doled
out), addresses never again being used are consequently come back to the pool for reallocation.
FTP: The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard system convention utilized for the exchange of
PC records between a customer and server on a PC organize. FTP is based on a customer server
show engineering separate control and information associations between the customer and the
server. FTP clients may verify themselves with an unmistakable textsign-in convention, typically as
a username and secret phrase, yet can associate namelessly if the server is designed to permit it.
For secure transmission that ensures the username and secret word, and scrambles the substance,
FTP is frequently anchored with SSL/TLS (FTPS) or supplanted with SSH File Transfer Protocol
(SFTP). The primary FTP customer applications were direction line programs created before
working frameworks had graphical UIs, are still delivered with most Windows, Unix, and Linux
working frameworks.
Mail: E-mail (electronic mail) is the trading of PC put away messages by media transmission. (A few
productions spell it email; we incline toward the as of now more settled spelling of email.) E-mail
messages are normally encoded in ASCII content. Be that as it may, you can likewise send non-
content records, for example, realistic pictures and sound documents, as connections sent in
twofold streams. Email was one of the principal employments of the Internet is as yet the most
prominent utilize. A vast level of the aggregate movement over the Internet is email. Email can
likewise be traded between online specialist co-op clients and in systems other than the Internet,
both open and private.
System Time Protocol (NTP): It is a systems administration convention for clock synchronization
between PC frameworks over bundle exchanged, variable-dormancy information systems. In
activity since before 1985, NTP is one of the most seasoned Internet conventions in flow utilize.
NTP was planned by David L. Factories of the University of Delaware.
NTP is planned to synchronize every single taking an interest PC to inside a couple of milliseconds
of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).It utilizes the crossing point calculation, a changed form of
Marzullo's calculation, to choose precise time servers and is intended to alleviate the impacts of
variable system dormancy. NTP can as a rule keep up time to inside several milliseconds over
general society Internet, and can accomplish superior to one millisecond precision in
neighborhood under perfect conditions. Unbalanced courses and system clog can cause blunders
of 100 ms or more.The convention is normally portrayed as far as a customer server demonstrate,
yet can as effectively be utilized in shared connections where the two companions view alternate
as a potential time source.
Intermediary: In PC organizes, an intermediary server is a server (a PC framework or an

application) that goes about as a middle person for demands from customers looking for assets
from other servers.[1]A customer associates with the intermediary server, asking for some
administration, for example, a record, association, page, or other asset accessible from an
alternate server and the intermediary server assesses the demand as an approach to rearrange
and control its multifaceted nature. Intermediaries were developed to add structure and epitome
to disseminated systems.[2] Today, most intermediaries are web intermediaries, encouraging
access to content on the World Wide Web, giving obscurity and might be utilized to sidestep IP


address blocking.
SMB: In PC organizing, Server Message Block (SMB), one rendition of which was otherwise called
Common Internet File System (CIFS,/sɪfs/) works as an application-layer arrange convention.
Predominantly utilized for giving shared access to records, printers, and serial ports and random
correspondences between hubs on a system. It additionally gives a validated between process
correspondence component. Most use of SMB includes PCs running Microsoft Windows, where it
was known as "Microsoft Windows Network" before the presentation of Active Directory. Relating
Windows administrations are LAN Manager Server (for the server segment) and LAN Manager
Workstation (for the customer segment).
WEB: The Web is the regular name for the World Wide Web, a subset of the Internet comprising
of the pages that can be gotten to by a Web program. Numerous individuals accept that the Web
is the same as the Internet, and utilize these terms conversely. Be that as it may, the term Internet
really alludes to the worldwide system of servers that makes the data sharing that occurs over the
Web conceivable. Thus, despite the fact that the Web makes up a vast bit of the Internet, however
they are not one and same.
Question 3: Explain the following network service management terms:

A. Start
B. Stop
C. Restart
D. Start on boot
Write your response in 150-200 words
Start: Start is called on the frame when a script is enabled just before any of
the Update methods are called the first time. Like the Awake function, Start is
called exactly once in the lifetime of the script. However, Awake is called when
the script object is initialised, regardless of whether or not the script is
enabled. Start may not be called on the same frame as Awake if the script is
not enabled at initialisation time.
Stop: Use these functions to return a warning or error from another function.
The warning function will output a message after a function finishes, while
the stop function both stops the execution of the function and outputs an error
message.
Restart: Use the RESTART command to restart a function in the RACF


subsystem address space. The RESTART command can be used after you apply
maintenance and to recover from failures. The RESTART command ends the
current subtask and starts a new one. Only one function can be restarted with
a single RESTART command, but that function might involve multiple subtasks.
Start on boot: In computing, booting is starting up a computer or computer

appliance until it can be used. It can be initiated by hardware such as a button
press or by software command. After the power is switched on, the computer is
relatively dumb and can read only part of its storage called read-only memory.
There, a small program is stored called firmware. It does power-on self-tests and,
most importantly, allows accessing other types of memory like a hard
disk and main memory.

A. What are the five (5) essential features of network service security? Write your answer in
150-200 words.
B. What are the steps involved in configuring server firewall on Windows server 2012?
Identity
Accurate and positive identification of network users, hosts, applications,
services, and resources is a must. Kerberos, password tools, and protocols such
as RADIUS and TACACS+ enable identification.
Perimeter security
This enables you to control access to network applications, data, and services
so only authorised users and information can pass through the network.
Data privacy
Data privacy is the providing of confidential data on command to authorised
users while protecting that information from eavesdropping or tampering.
Tunnelling, encryption technologies, and protocols like IPSec provide important
protection when implementing Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
Security monitoring
You also should regularly test and monitor security preparations. By being
proactive, you can identify areas of weakness and make adjustments. When a
real security event occurs, you’ll be ready.
Policy management
It’s likely your network will grow in size and complexity. You’ll need centralised
policy-management tools that use directory services to grow with the network.
These tools define, distribute, enforce, and audit the security policy through
browser interfaces, plus they enhance the usability and effectiveness of your


network’s security solutions.
B: The Windows Firewall with Advanced Security is a host-based firewall that

runs on Windows Server 2012 and is turned on by default. Firewall settings
within Windows Server 2012 are managed from within the Windows Firewall
Microsoft Management Console (MMC). To review and set the Windows Firewall
settings, perform the following steps:
1. Open the Server Manager from the task bar.

2. On the right-hand side in the top navigation bar, click Tools and select Windows
Firewall with Advanced Security.
3. Review the current configuration settings by selecting Windows Firewall
Properties from the MMC landing page. You can access and modify the settings
for each of the three firewall profiles, Domain, Private, and Public, as well as
IPSec settings.
Question 5: Answer the following questions.
A. What are the two (2) network troubleshooting tools and techniques? Write your
response in 100-150 words.
B. What are the five (5) network diagnostic utilities? Write 30-50 words for each.


A. Ipconfig/ifconfig
One of the most important things that must be completed when troubleshooting a
networking issue is to find out the specific IP configuration of the variously affected
hosts. Sometimes this information is already known when addressing is configured
statically, but when a dynamic addressing method is used, the IP address of each
host can potentially change often. The utilities that can be used to find out this IP
configuration information include the ipconfig utility on Windows machines and the
ifconfig utility on Linux/*nix based machines. Figure 3 below shows an example of
the ifconfig utility showing the IP configuration information of a queries host.
Ping
The most commonly used network tool is the ping utility. This utility is used to
provide a basic connectivity test between the requesting host and a
destination host. This is done by using the Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP) which has the ability to send an echo packet to a destination host and a
mechanism to listen for a response from this host. Simply stated, if the
requesting host receives a response from the destination host, this host is
reachable. This utility is commonly used to provide a basic picture of where a
specific networking problem may exist. For example, if an Internet connection
is down at an office, the ping utility can be used to figure out whether the
problem exists within the office or within the network of the Internet provider.
Figure 1 below shows an example of the ping utility being used to obtain the
reachability status of the locally connected router.
B. Diagnostic Tools is a collection of generic utilities, for day-to-day

management of the system and network. The tools can be used to
troubleshoot, debug connectivity issues, packet loss and latency in a LAN
environment.
The following are the tools available in this group
Ping : Utility to determine whether a specific IP is accessible in the network. It

helps in discovery of the status of a network device; whether the device is
alive or not. Before you ping a device you can configure the ping settings like
number of packets, time to live, size, and timeout.
Ping Scan : Utility to scan a range of IP's to check if the given range of IP

addresses are accessible. The tool displays the IP Address, the response time,
and the DNS name of the discovered device. This tool uses the basic PING
function as a base to perform the scan.
SNMP Ping : Utility to check if a specific IP is SNMP enabled. It helps the

network engineers to know the availability of a device and also provides basic
information like DNS name, system name, location, system type, and system
description. Following the SNMP discovery, if required, more details of the node
can be retrieved using SNMP Tools like SNMP walker, MIB Browser and SNMP
Graph
SNMP Scan : Utility to scan a range of IP addresses to check if the IP Addresses

are SNMP enabled or not. The tool displays the IP address, response time, DNS
name, system name, and system type.
Trace Route : Utility to record the route (route is calculated in terms of hops, i.e
number of routers it crosses) through the network between the sender's IP and
a specified destination IP. The user can configure the settings such as number
of hops, and timeout value.
A. Briefly explain the importance of the following installation media in 30-50 words each.
a. CD
b. DVD
c. universal serial bus (USB)
d. boot disk
e. network and script (automated install)
f. deployment services
B. Briefly explain boot process and diagnosing boot failures related to network server. Answer
in 50-100 words.
C. Briefly explain operating system rescue environment related to network server. Answer in 50-
100 words.
a. CD:
A compact disc is a portable storage medium that can be used to record, store and
play back audio, video and other data in digital form. A standard compact disc
measures 4.7 inches, or 120 millimeters (mm), across, is 1.2 mm thick, weighs
between 15 grams and 20 grams, and has a capacity of 80 minutes of audio, or
650 megabytes (MB) to 700 MB of data.
b. DVD:
DVD is an optical disc technology with a 4.7 gigabyte storage capacity on a single-


sided, one-layered disk, which is enough for a 133-minute movie. DVDs can be
single- or double-sided, and can have two layers on each side; a double-sided, two-
layered DVD will hold up to 17 gigabytes of video, audio, or other information. This
compares to 650 megabytes (.65 gigabyte) of storage for a CD-ROM disk.
c. universal serial bus (USB):
A Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a common interface that enables communication

between devices and a host controller such as a personal computer (PC). It
connects peripheral devices such as digital cameras, mice, keyboards, printers,
scanners, media devices, external hard drivesand flash drives. Because of its wide
variety of uses, including support for electrical power, the USB has replaced a wide
range of interfaces like the parallel and serial port.
A USB is intended to enhance plug-and-play and allow hot swapping. Plug-and-play
enables the operating system (OS) to spontaneously configure and discover a new
peripheral device without having to restart the computer.
d. boot disk:
A boot disk is a removable data storage medium used to load and boot
an operating system or utility program. Typically, a boot disc is a read-only
medium that stores temporary files on a CD-ROM or floppy disc drive. Other boot
disk mediums include USB drives, zip drives, and paper tape drives.
One of the most common uses of a boot disk is to start the computer when the
operating on the internal hard drive does not load. Generally, a boot disk contains
a full-scale operating system, and may include a small utility operating system as
well. In recent years, boot disks have become less common as original equipment
manufacturers turn to using hard drive partitions to store recovery data.
e. network and script (automated install):
A script is sometimes used to mean a list of operating system commands that

are prestored in a file and performed sequentially by the operating system's
command interpreter whenever the list name is entered as a single command.
Multimedia development programs use "script" to mean the sequence of
instructions that you enter to indicate how a multimedia sequence of
files will be presented
f. deployment services:
Windows Deployment Services is a server role that gives administrators the ability


to deploy Windows operating systems remotely. WDS can be used for network-
based installations to set up new computers so administrators do not have to
directly install each operating system (OS). If an administrators is thinking of using
WDS, Microsoft recommends having a good understanding of common networking
components and deployment technologies, including Active Directory Domain
Services, DNSand DHCP.
B) Booting or loading an operating system is different than installing it, which is

generally an initial one-time activity. (Those who buy a computer with an operating
system already installed don't have to worry about that.) When you install the
operating system, you may be asked to identify certain options or configuration
choices. At the end of installation, your operating system is on your hard disk
ready to be booted (loaded) into random access memory, the computer storage
that is closer to the microprocessor and faster to work with than the hard disk.
Typically, when an operating system is installed, it is set up so that when you turn
the computer on, the system is automatically booted as well. If you run out of
storage (memory) or the operating system or an application program encounters
an error, you may get an error message or your screen may "freeze" (you can't do
anything). In these events, you may have to reboot the operating system.
Diagnosing PC bootup problems can be the most difficult of tasks for several
reasons. Diagnosis requires logical reasoning, which in itself requires that the
person doing the diagnosis understand the system events that are supposed to
occur, and in which order. Further, many of the clues that might be available
require specialized diagnostic equipment that the average user does not possess.
Fortunately, even without the use of diagnostic tools, the most common boot-time
errors can be resolved by with a little knowledge, a few common components and
a bit of patience.
The BIOS (Basic I/O System) is the very first program run by the PC, and resides in
a ROM chip (Read Only Memory), which is also called Non-Volatile memory. The
BIOS program initializes the standard devices, such as the memory controller,
video controller, IDE controller and floppy controller. Using stored parameters, it
initializes the motherboard chipset, and sets timing parameters. It also creates an
interrupt vector table and provides a set of services, accessible through interrupts,
that allow access to the standard I/O devices. Following is a brief description of the
entire PC boot process, which can be extremely helpful in identifying and resolving
problems.
C) Rescue mode is a term used to describe a method of booting a small Linux

environment completely from diskettes.
What follows in this section may help you recover from a problem at some point?
A copy of these instructions is also available as rescue.txt on your Red Hat Linux
6.0 CD-ROM.
As the name implies, rescue mode is there to rescue you from something. In


normal operation, your Red Hat Linux system uses files located on your system's
hard drive to do everything -- run programs, store your files, and more.
However, there may be times when you are unable to get Linux running
completely enough to access its files on your system's hard drive. By using rescue
mode, it's possible to access the files stored on your system's hard drive, even if
you can't actually run Linux from that hard drive
A. Briefly explain the importance of operating system help and support utilities in network
server environment. Answer in 50-100 words.
B. Briefly explain two performance monitoring tools and tuning options related to Windows
server 2012. Answer in 50- 100 words.
C. Briefly explain two compatibility issues and resolution procedures related to Windows server
2012.
D. List and explain three high availability options for servers. Answer in 50-100 words.
E. Briefly explain file and print management in 50-100 words.
A) All computers ship with software called an operating system (O/S) to manage all
the software and hardware on the computer and to provide an interface that humans
can use to interact with the machines. A modern O/S contains much built-in software
designed to simplify the networking of a computer. Typical O/S software includes an
implementation of TCP/IP protocol stack and related utility programs like ping and
traceroute, along with the necessary device drivers and other software to
automatically enable a device's Ethernet or wireless interface. The operating
systems of mobile devices normally provide the programs needed to enable Wi-
Fi, Bluetooth or other wireless connectivity. operating system specifically designed
to run on servers, which are specialized computers that operate within
a client/server architecture to serve the requests of client computers on the network.
The server operating system, or server OS, is the software layer on top of which
other software programs, or applications, can run on the server hardware. Server
operating systems help enable and facilitate typical server roles such as Web server,
mail server, file server, database server, application server and print server.

C) Two (2) Windows Server 2016 compatibility issues and their resolution procedures
are:
Server Core installation option: When you install Windows Server 2016 by
using the Server Core installation option, the print spooler is installed and
starts by default even when the Print Server role is not installed.
To avoid this, after the first boot, set the print spooler to disabled.
Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT): If you are running a version of

Windows 10 older than the Anniversary Update, and are using Hyper-V and
virtual machines with an enabled virtual Trusted Platform Module (including
shielded virtual machines), and then install the version of RSAT provided for
Windows Server 2016, attempts to start those virtual machines will fail.
To avoid this, upgrade the client computer to Windows 10 Anniversary Update (or
later) prior to installing RSAT. If this has already occurred, uninstall RSAT,
upgrade the client to Window Anniversary Update, and then reinstall RSAT.
D)Three high availability options for servers are :
Ultra High Performance Dedicated Servers
High performance servers are high-end dedicated solutions with larger

computing capacity, especially designed to achieve the maximum performance.
They are an ideal solution to cater enterprise workloads.
A typical high performance dedicated server will consist of the following:
1. Single/Dual latest Intel Xeon E3 or E5 series processors.

2. 64 GB to 256 GB RAM
3. 8 to 24 TB SATA II HDD with RAID 10


4. Energy efficient and redundant power supply & cooling units
5. Offsite Backups
Real World Applications:
One of our existing customers was looking for a high-end game server to host
flash games with encoded PHP and MySQL server as a backend.
To achieve the highest availability, they demanded 2 load balancers with failover.
Each of them contains 2 web servers and a database server
Load Balancing
The process of distributing incoming web traffic across a group of servers efficiently
and without intervention is called Load Balancing. A hardware or software appliance
which provides this load balancing functionality is known as a Load Balancer. A load
balancer sits in front of your servers and routes the visitor requests across the
servers. It ensures even distribution, i.e., all requests must be fulfilled in a way that it
maximizes speed and capacity utilization of all servers and none of them is over or
under-utilized.
E)Print servers are used provide access to printers across the network. They offer an
added level of manageability for network printing and allow an administrator to
control when print devices can be used by scheduling the availability of printers,
setting priority for print jobs and configuring printer properties. An administrator can
also view, pause, resume, and/or delete print jobs and manage printers remotely and
by using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), which allows an
administrator to manage components like print servers and print devices from the
command line.
File servers are used to store data in a central location, so they must be kept secure
to ensure that only those who are authorised are able to use the files. The volumes
on a file server should be formatted with NTFS to allow file and folder permissions to
be set and the Encrypting File System (EFS) should be used to guard against
unauthorised users and malicious programs. Although encryption and decryption can
be complex, EFS file encryption is completely transparent to the user. However, you
cannot encrypt system files and you cannot share encrypted. Encrypted files cannot
be compressed and compressed files will be decompressed when you encrypt them.
File servers allow users to store their files remotely, rather than on their local hard
disks, and share them with other users. When a file is saved to a file server, clients
who have access to the relevant directory can access it remotely. File servers are
also important when multiple employees use network-accessible applications and
data may need to be saved to a shared database, spreadsheet or other type of file


The Distributed File Service (Dfs) can be implemented to enable users to access
shared files. Dfs allows data located on different volumes, shares or servers appear
as if everything resides in the same location. This makes it easier for users to find
data as they do not need to search through multiple locations to access the files they
require. Files that are being printed may also require protection

A. Explain user authentication and directory services for the network server. Answer in 50-100
words.
B. Explain the steps you will follow to implement backup and restore functions on the network
server. Answer in 150-200 words.
C. In your own words, explain error and event logging and reporting. Answer in 50-100 words.
D. Briefly explain file systems and disk partitioning schemes in 50-100 words.
User authentication is performed in almost all human-to-computer interactions

other than guest and automatically logged in accounts. Authentication
authorizes human-to-machine interactions on both wired and wireless
networks to enable access to networked and Internet connected systems.
Traditionally, user authentication has typically consisted of a simple ID and
password combination. Increasingly, however, more authentication factors are
added to improve the security of communications.
In computing, directory service or name service is a mapping between the

names of resources in a network and their respective network addresses. It is a
shared information infrastructure for locating, managing, administering and
organizing everyday items and network resources, which can include volumes,
folders, files, printers, users, groups, devices, telephone numbers and other
objects. A directory service is a critical component of a network operating
system. A directory server or name server is a server which provides such a
service. Each resource on the network is considered an object by the directory
server. Information about a particular resource is stored as a collection


of attributes associated with that resource or object.
A directory service defines a namespace for the network. The namespace is
used to assign a name (unique identifier) to each of the objects. Directories
typically have a set of rules determining how network resources are named
and identified, which usually includes a requirement that the identifiers be
unique and unambiguous. When using a directory service, a user does not
have to remember the physical address of a network resource; providing a
name locates the resource. Some directory services include access
control provisions, limiting the availability of directory information to
authorized users.
 C) Windows reporting: Windows reporting is a crash reporting technology

introduced by Microsoft with Windows XP and included in later Windows
versions and Windows Mobile5.0 and 6.0. Not to be confused with
the debugging tool which left the memory dump on the user's local machine,
Windows Error Reporting collects and offers to send post-error debug
information (a memory dump) using the Internet to the Microsoft or stops
responding on a user's desktop. No data is sent without the user's consent.
[2]
When a dump (or other error signature information) reaches the Microsoft
server, it is analysed and a solution is sent back to the user when one is
available. Solutions are served using Windows Error Reporting Responses.
Windows Error Reporting runs as a Windows service and can optionally be
entirely disabled. If Windows Error Reporting itself crashes, then an error report
that the original crashed process produced cannot be sent at all. Windows
event logging: MS Windows 2000, XP and 2003 typically maintain three Event
Log files: Application, System, and Security. They are generally found in the
C:\Windows\system32\config directory. Server versions of the OS may maintain
additional Event Logs (DNS Server.evt, Directory Service.evt, File Replication
Service.evt) depending upon the functionality of the server.
Each log file consists of a Header record and the Body. The body again consists of
Event records, the Cursor record and unused space. The body could form a ring
buffer, where the cursor record will mark the border between the oldest and the
newest event record. Unused space could be empty, slack and padding
D) A file system is a process that manages how and where data on a storage
disk, typically a hard disk drive (HDD), is stored, accessed and managed. It is a
logical disk component that manages a disk's internal operations as it relates
to a computer and is abstract to a human user. Regardless of type and usage,
a disk contains a file system and information about where disk data is stored
and how it may be accessed by a user or application. A file system typically
manages operations, such as storage management, file naming,
directories/folders, metadata, access rules and privileges.
Commonly used file systems include File Allocation Table 32 (FAT 32), New
Technology File System (NTFS) and Hierarchical File System (HFS)
Disk partition is really only a logical separation from the whole drive, but
it appears as though the division creates multiple physical drives. Some terms
you'll see associated with a partition include primary, active, extended, and
logical partitions. More on this below. Partitions are also sometimes called disk
partitions and when someone uses the word drive, they usually mean a
partition with a drive letter assigned. Dividing a hard drive into partitions is

helpful for a number of reasons but is necessary for at least one: to make the
drive available to an operating system.
For example, when you install an operating system like Windows, part of the
process is to define a partition on the hard drive. This partition serves to define an
area of the hard drive that Windows can use to install all of its files. In Windows
operating systems, this primary partition is usually assigned the drive letter of "C".
In addition to the C drive, Windows often automatically builds other partitions

during installation, even though they rarely get a drive letter. For example, in
Windows 10, a recovery partition, with a set of tools called Advanced Startup
Options, is installed so you can fix problems that might occur on the main C drive.
B)About Backing up Data

All data is critical and has to be backed up. There is no data which can be considered non-critical
and hence not be backed up. Network Integrity backs up the following information:
• Database information
This type of data is database driven or database specific. Following are the database information
types:
o Network Integrity tablespaces: contains information on configuration, scans, and
discrepancies along with Network Integrity configuration. This information can be viewed using
the Mbean console.
o ESS tablespaces: contains information on scheduled jobs for scheduler or blackout.
o ESS metadata store: contains the Applcore database repository for storing scheduled job
definitions. For example, startscanjob, blackoutjob, and stopscanjob.
o WebLogic persistent store: contains information responsible for persisting the scan,
discrepancy, and assimilation of jobs (if a job failure such as a server failure, it ensures that the job
is resumed and completed.)
• Domain configuration
This type of data contains information about the following:
o Connection pool sizes (database, SNMP JCA)
o Workmanager (thread pools) for cartridges
o Security configuration (SSL), security providers (embedded LDAP or Oracle Internet
Directory)
o Other J2EE resources (JMS queues, topics, cluster configuration, and loadbalancing etc)
 Work managers
 GC parameters
 Domain configuration files (set Domainenv.sh and so on)
 Data sources
 Java Message Service (JMS) resource configurations
 Installed applications
• Security provider
This type of data contains users/roles in LDAP provider (embedded LDAP or Oracle Internet
Directory). If you use embedded LDAP, data is backed up as part of WebLogic domain backup. If
you use external LDAP or any other system, you must follow the backup mechanism specifically
mentioned in that software.


About Restore in Network Integrity
Restore is a method whereby lost data can be recovered completely. Network Integrity has a
restore feature that works as a recovery strategy for outages that involve actual data loss or
corruption, host failure, or media failure where the host or disk cannot be restarted and are
permanently lost. This type of failure requires some type of data restoration before the Oracle
Fusion Middleware environment can be restarted and continue with normal processing.
Restoring In a Cluster Environment
In a cluster environment, if a Network Integrity adaptor is installed on the Administration server
and the server fails, restore the entire server using a backup.
If a Network Integrity adaptor is installed on a managed server and the server fails, follow these
steps to restore the server:
1. Add a new managed server to the cluster on the same system.
2. Deploy all Network Integrity components on this managed server.
Question 9: Explain the processes involved in managing the project including the following:
A. Documentation skills required for networks
B. Task management
C. Task scheduling utilities.
Write 100-150 words for each in your response.
Create a network documentation policy
A network documentation policy should detail what aspects of a network need to

be documented, especially each server. A documentation policy also
communicates to each administrator exactly what is expected of them regarding
the documentation process.
Create a network topology diagram
Ideally, you want this map of the network's topology to include each network
segment, the routers connecting the various segments, and the servers, gateways
and other major pieces of networking hardware that are connected to each
segment. For larger networks, you may have to create a general segment map and
make more specific maps of each individual segment.

Document server names, roles and IP addresses
While the information included in a network topology diagram is not necessarily

specific, there is certain information that you should include for each server, even
if that information has to be placed in an appendix. For each server, list the
server's name, its IP address and the role that the server is performing (DNS,
DHCP, mail server, etc.). Keep in mind that a server may be assigned multiple IP
addresses or have multiple NICs, so you should document that information too.
Create a change log for each server
When a server fails, the failure can often be traced to a recent change. As a part of
the network documentation, consider making a log book for each server for
documenting changes such as patch and application installations and modified
security settings. Not only will the log help you troubleshoot future problems, it
can help you rebuild the server in the event of a catastrophic failure.
Document software versions and proof of licenses
Document the applications and their versions running on each server. You might
also include a copy of the software license or a receipt within this documentation
just in case your customer becomes involved in a software audit.
Document hardware components
I have talked about documenting individual servers, but it's equally important to
document switches, routers, gateways and other networking hardware. The
documentation should include information such as:
 How is the device connected to the network?
 How is the device configured?
 Does a backup of the configuration exist?
 What firmware revision is the device running?
 Is the device configured to use a password? (Don't include the actual


password, but you can include a password hint or a reference to the password
being written in a notebook that is stored in the safe.)
Document the Active Directory
few things that should be consider for documenting:
 The names of the domains in the forest.
 The Active Directory site structure.
 Where the various servers exist within the Active Directory hierarchy.
 The location and contents of each group policy.
 Any external trusts that may exist.
Document your backup procedures
Backup is your customer's best defense against a catastrophe, but it will do little
good if nobody can figure out how to use it. Be sure to document the backup
software used and its version (very important). You will also want to document the
tape rotation scheme, a general description of what's included in each backup job
and where the backup tapes are stored.
B) Task management is the process of managing a task through its life cycle. It
involves planning, testing, tracking, and reporting. Task management can help
either individual achieve goals, or groups of individuals collaborate and share
knowledge for the accomplishment of collective goals. Tasks are also
differentiated by complexity, from low to high. Effective task management
requires managing all aspects of a task, including its status, priority, time,
human and financial resources assignments, recurrence, dependency,
notifications and so on. Managing multiple individuals or team tasks may be
assisted by specialized software, for example workflow or project management
software. In fact, many people believe that task management should serve as
a foundation for project management activities.
Task management may form part of project management and process
management and can serve as the foundation for efficient workflow in an
organization. Project managers adhering to task-oriented management have a
detailed and up-to-date project schedule, and are usually good at directing
team members and moving the project forward


A. Task scheduling utilities:
Task Scheduler is a component of Microsoft Windows that provides the

ability to schedule the launch of programs or scripts at pre-defined times or
after specified time intervals: job scheduling (task scheduling). It was first
introduced in the Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95 as System Agent[1] but was
renamed to Task Scheduler in Internet Explorer 4.0 and Windows 98.
The Windows Event Log service must be running before the Task Scheduler
starts up. This service should not be confused with the scheduler that
allocates CPU resources to processes already in memory. Task Scheduler
was introduced with Windows Vista and included in Windows Server
2008 as well. The redesigned Task Scheduler user interface is now based
on Management Console. In addition to running tasks on scheduled times or
specified intervals, Task Scheduler 2.0 also supports calendar and event-
based triggers, such as starting a task when a particular event is logged to
the event log, or when a combination of events has occurred. Also, several
tasks that are triggered by the same event can be configured to run either
simultaneously or in a pre-determined chained sequence of a series of
actions, instead of having to create multiple scheduled tasks. Tasks can also
be configured to run based on system status such as being idle for a pre-
configured amount of time, on tart up, logoff, or only during or for a
specified
time. XPath expressions can be used to filter events from the Windows Event
Log. Tasks can also be delayed for a specified time after the triggering event
has occurred, or repeat until some other event occurs. Actions that need to be
done if a task fails can also be configured. The actions that can be taken in
response to triggers, both event-based as well as time-based, not only include
launching applications but also take a number of custom actions. Task
Scheduler includes a number of actions built-in, spanning a number of
applications; including send an e-mail, show a message box, or fire
a COM handler when it is triggered. Custom actions can also be specified using
the Task Scheduler API. Task Scheduler keeps a history log of all execution
details of all the tasks. Windows Vista uses Task Scheduler to run various
system-level tasks consequently, the Task Scheduler service can no longer be
disabled (except with a simple registry tweak.
A: What is the importance of consultation with the key stakeholders and how does it help to
effectively coordinate the task? Write your response in 100-150 words.
B: What is the importance of the Work Health and Safety (WHS) processes and procedures at a
workplace? Write your response in 100-150 words.
The main importance of consultation with the key stakeholders are given below:
 Firstly, decision making will be more informed and in tune with those who the actions will affect.
 Secondly, there will be greater satisfaction from stakeholders with the outcome. Through the
engagement process, those who decisions will affect will feel they have inputted into the final
outcome and that everyone’s views have been taken into account. Depending on the method of
consultation, they will also understand that their perspective may not be shared by all and that there


is a need for compromise.
 This in turn will lead to a greater chance of a successful implementation of the initiative.
Stakeholders will feel ownership of the venture, and are therefore more likely to want the venture to
succeed.
 Finally, consulting with people who will be affected by a development is an example of best practice
It represents good governance and transparency, demonstrates a desire to engage in meaningful
two-way communication, and recognises the important contribution stakeholders at all levels can
make to future changes which will directly or indirectly affect them.
B) Health and safety are two words people tend to take rather seriously – and
understandably so. They play a vital role in your well-being and overall quality
of life. When it comes to the business world, health and safety protocol should
be at the top of any executive priority list. These processes are just as
important as sales and marketing to the successes and failures of any
company.
Regardless of industry, the possibility of accidents is always present. Some

fields of work present more potential than others but the bottom line is that
there need to be distinct protocols in place for workplace health and safety.
This can be accomplished by investing in certification courses for your current
WHS staff members.

 A title, spoken language what it's that you simply wish the consumer or
govt to approve (a style set up, a form, a templet etc.). A relevancy the role
this document can play in AN over-all project or system.
 A description of what's being united to together with an outline of what has
been reviewed.
 A rationalization of however any later changes to the documentation could
also be handled once the shape has been signed.
 In cases wherever work has been done beneath contract, particularly for AN
agreed-to deliverable, permission to issue AN invoice may also be enclosed.
 Space for linguistic communication and chemical analysis.
B) The factors to be consider whereas designing consumer report are as
Agree before you write- Establish report temporal order and content at the
beginning of your consumer engagement. each engagement are completely
different. For long comes, your consumer might like a monthly telephony, weekly


email summaries, and a quarterly report. Some purchasers might want a brief
weekly report and a additional comprehensive monthly report. Establish up front
the frequency, method, and detail of communications.
Write a powerful Summary- Even with up front agreement, some purchasers,
notably senior level managers, might not have time to scan the complete report.
Use AN “executive summary” format that may simply stand alone to speak the
numerous components of the report, together with onerous facts and figures
Maximize Readability- Even with up front agreement, soe purchasers, notably
senior level managers, might not have time to scan the complete report. Use AN
“executive summary” format that may simply stand alone to speak the numerous
components of the report, together with har facts and figures
Keep it simple- The reports should be as long because it have to be compelled to
be. It should not be too lenthy. a transparent language should be use.
Customize with temperament- The report should align with the consumer culture
however mirror personality of own complete. Report writing doesn't got to be
empty of the temperament to be skilled
Writing for audience. The report should be written on the idea what the audience wish
or wish to scan. The question they need are answered or not should be taken under
consideration.
Question 12: Answer the following Questions:
A. What are the factors to consider while preparing the documentation for server
configuration and operational changes? Write your response in 100-150 words.
B. What are the benefits of cleanup and restoration of an ICT worksite as per client’s
satisfaction? Write your response in 150-200 words.
Answers: The server documentation tool XIA Configuration discovers your Windows
machines and documents their configuration. This helps organizations retain
information about environments, transfer knowledge, and save time otherwise
spent performing these tasks manually.
 Scan Active Directory to detect and inventory computers on your domain

 Continuously generate always up to date documentation
 Check that your servers follow best practices and security standards
 Audit Windows machines with the reporting feature
Detect changes to a server's configuration and compare items to expose

incorrectly configured Windows machines or security vulnerabilities.
Utilise features such as version control, PDF output, PowerShell support and more.

B) A server room can be considered one of the most important aspects of an IT

environment. Most of these rooms utilize large amounts of cables and without
adequate care, they could get entangled over time. In this case, traditional clean
up practices will not work well on sensitive electronics. Cable entanglement is not
only the problem you will face as excessive accumulation of dust is another issue
too.
Over time, innumerable amounts of dust can pile up within any exposed hardware
which may also affect the performance of certain systems. These common server
room situations should be avoided from the start and it is pertinent that you keep
the room clean, tidy and organized. Here are some of the best ways to go about it.
If the old feather duster is unable to tackle those hard-to-reach spots in the server
room, you should opt for compressed gas canisters as well as a modern electric
duster instead. The latter is able to tackle large scale environments like a server
room. It is recommended that you go for electric dusters that come with a 500-
watt motor to blast dust off crevices and fans in the most effective manner. You
will also quickly notice that your investments for such equipment will pay off for
itself.
If you plan to utilise some sort of AC vacuum device within the premises, you may
want to plug the device into an outlet that’s away from the server room. Although
this sounds like some kind of superstition, let’s play it safe by not disturbing
equilibrium of a server environment.
Reckless usage water is not recommended in a room full of sensitive and

expensive electronic equipment. You might want to engage the assistance of a
professional cleaning service that has adequate experience and skills to actualize
the clean-up plan. Speaking of which, you will want to be mindful of where you
install any electronic gear such as air conditioning units as they can drip water.
A. What are the steps included in validating changes for a system? Write 100-150 words.
B. Explain the importance of server testing? Write your answer in 30-50 words.
Controlling the changes is the process of managing how changes are introduced


into a controlled System. Change control illustrates that even after the changes
has been made system remains under control. Change Control systems are a
favorite target of regulatory auditors because they vividly demonstrate an
organization’s capacity to control its systems.
Some important steps included in validating changes for a system are:
1. Request the Change:
The System Owner formally requests a change to the system.
2. Assess the Impact of the Change:
Before the change is made, the system owner and other key stake holders,
including Quality, determine how the change will affect the system.
3. System Development in a Safe Environment:
Changes should be initially made away from the validated system. For computer
systems, this can mean testing in a Sandbox environment. For equipment, process
or method validations, this usually means implementing the change during a
period when manufacturing has shut down.
4. System Testing/Re-Validation:
Before changes are accepted, the system is validated to ensure system accuracy,
reliability and consistent intended performance.
5. Implementation of the Change:
The changed system is released to the site and users are trained on changes to
the system. For computer systems, this means pushing the changes out to general
users. For equipment, process or method validation, this means introducing the
system into the larger production process.
B) Server testing is important to see how new software will affect network because
if it damage the network with it being in the test network that won’t the real
network. It involves the overall testing of a complete server of many subsystem
components or elements. The system under test may be composed of hardware,
or software, or hardware with embedded software, or hardware/software with
human-in-the-loop testing. Server Testing consists, initially, of the "process of
assembling the constituent parts of a system in a logical, cost-effective way,
comprehensively checking system execution (all nominal & exceptional paths),
and including a full functional check-out. “Following integration, system test is a
process of "verifying that the system meets its requirements, and validating that
the system performs in accordance with the customer or user expectations.

Solve error process are:
Step 1: Generate a verbose log file named msi*.log in the %temp% directory
the next time the setup package is executed. (Click here to know more ways to
generate log). Know more about the command-line switches here.
msiexec /i <msipath>setup.msi /l*v c:\temp\msi.log

Step 2: Open the verbose log in a text editor such as notepad and search for
the string “return value 3”. In nearly all cases, this will take us to the section in
the verbose log that lists the action that failed that initially caused setup to
rollback.
Step 3: Review the contents of the log file immediately above the “return value 3”
string to determine which custom action or standard action failed. Depending on
which action is failing, We will need to proceed to more detailed debugging from
here.
Question 15: Explain the process of error reporting in Microsoft Windows Server? Write your
answer in 100-150 words.
In addition to data flexibility and persistency, a platform-as-a-service (PaaS)
offering managed by Azure was more appealing than the alternatives for the
Microsoft Error Reporting team. Microsoft Error Reporting already made
extensive use of other Azure services, such as Azure SQL Database, Azure Blob
storage, and Azure Queue storage, so consolidating on Azure with the move to
Document DB helped the Microsoft Error Reporting team simplify its
management. It also allowed the team to move away from on-premises
hardware.
In the past, the Microsoft Error Reporting team had to invest heavily in costly,
space-consuming, and energy-consuming on-premises servers. Embracing
Document DB has enabled the Microsoft Error Reporting team to greatly simplify
its architecture, paring down one key component from 30 servers in the recent
past to a single web endpoint today. This simplified architecture directly translates
into efficiency for the Microsoft Error Reporting team. Previously, the team relied
on SQL Server gurus to carefully curate Microsoft Error Reporting data and on
database administrators to continuously maintain the databases on the internal
servers. Handing all of its database management over to Azure has freed up the
team’s resources to focus on development. It has also made it easier for the team
to try new things: rather than IT management being a bottleneck for experiments,
the Azure PaaS offering enables the Microsoft Error Reporting team to experiment
with more agility, such as by incorporating new types of data into its analyses.

Question 16: What are the seven (7) factors to consider while analysing and documenting the data
migration requirements? Write your answer in 100-150 words.
Factors to consider during a data migration project include how long the migration will take;
the amount of downtime required; and the risk to the business due to
technical compatibility issues, data corruption, application performance issues, and missed
data or data loss.
 Host-based software is best for application-specific migrations, such as platform

upgrades, database replication and file copying.
 Array-based software is primarily used to migrate data between like systems.
 Network appliances migrate volumes, files or blocks of data depending on their
configuration.
 Understand what data you are migrating, where it lives, what form it's in
and the form it will take at its new destination.
 Extract, transform and deduplicate data before moving it.
 Implement data migration policies so data is moved in an orderly manner.
 Test and validate the migrated data to ensure it is accurate.

Question 17: Explain the following terms in 30-100 words for each:
A. Business problems
B. Opportunities
C. Scope
D. Budget
A. Business problems
 Uncertainty concerning the long run

Being able to predict client trends, market trends, etc. is important to a
dynamic economic climate, however not each chief operating officer has
Warren Buffett-like prognosticative powers. transportation during a advisor
trained in reading and predicting those all-important trends may well be the
distinction between a bright future and a murky one.
 Financial management
Many CEOs i do know are concepts people; meaning they’re nice at the
massive image and unquiet thinking, however less sensible with things like
income, profit margins, reducing prices, financing, etc. little and medium
businesses might not need a full-time corporate executive, however would
do higher to use a money advisor United Nations agency will step into the
role as required.
 Monitoring performance
Using an important set of rounded performance indicators that offer the
business with insights concerning however well it's playing is essential.
Most business individual’s i do know aren't consultants in the way to
develop KPIs, the way to avoid the key pitfalls and the way to best
communicate metrics so they inform decision-making. In most cases
corporations admit too straightforward finance indicators that simply
occlude the company reportage channels.
 Regulation and compliance

As markets and technologies shift, so do rules and rules. reckoning on your
trade, it will create rather more sense to herald a advisor to assist with
these areas instead of making an attempt to know the complexities yourself
— and risk fines or worse for non-compliance.
B. Opportunities

It is an appropriate or favourable time or occasion: Their meeting afforded
an opportunity to exchange views. a situation or condition favourable for
attainment of a goal. a good position, chance, or prospect, as for
advancement or success. It is simply a chance to have something that we
have been trying to during the life. People get opportunity to do business or


to know new things. And they are successful in using hat opportunity in the
right way, they will obviously be a successful person in their life.
Opportunity might be in the field of education, sports, music, others.
 C.Scope
Its means an application of something in the market. Suppose we are about
to start a business, then we have to know the scope of that business in the
present situation or future. People consider something to do after knowing
the scope of that particular activity in their life. At present situation every
people concerns about scope of any things they do in their life. Another
meaning of the scope is it is an instrument or device that is used by military
person in the gun, sniper etc.
 D.Budget
A budget is normally called capital over a specified future period of time. It
is also a revenue or expenses for certain business. It is compiled and re-
evaluated on a periodic basis. Budgets can be made for a person, a family,
a group of people, a business, a government, a country, a multinational
organization or just about anything else that makes and spends money. At
companies and organizations, a budget is an internal tool used by
management and is often not required for reporting by external parties. In
general, traditional budgeting starts with tracking expenses, eliminating
debt and, once the budget is balanced, building an emergency fund. But to
speed up the process, you could start by building a partial emergency fund.
This emergency fund acts as a buffer as the rest of the budget is put in
place, and should replace the use of credit cards for emergency situations.
The key is to build the fund at regular intervals, consistently devoting a
certain percentage of each paycheck toward it and, if possible, putting in
whatever you can spare on top. This will get you to think about your
spending, too.

A. What is meant by prototype design? Write your answer in 50-100 words.
B. What are the factors to consider for the network server installation checklist for the quality
assurance? Write your response in 100-150 words.
 In software system development, a model may be a rudimentary operating

model of a product or data system, sometimes designed for demonstration
functions or as a part of the event method. within the systems development
life cycle (SDLC) Prototyping Model, a basic version of the system is made,
tested, then reworked as necessary till an appropriate model is finally
achieved from that the whole system or product will currently be developed.


 In prototype-based programming, a model is an explicit object; new objects
area unit created by repetition the model.
In hardware style, a model may be a "hand-built" model that represents a

factory-made (easily replicable) product sufficiently for designers to envision
and check the look
 B) The factors to consider fo the network server installation checklist for the
quality assurance are as follows:
1. Hardware Test (if applicable)
2. Install the OS
3. Configure the OS. Pay special attention to:
 Network configuration
 Domain or other remote login service
 Local user accounts
 Necessary software for the server's role
 OS Patches
4. Rack & Stack. Make sure to verify:
 Adequate power/cooling
 Network connectivity
 Adding the machine to any asset management system(s)
 Adding the machine to any patch deployment system(s)
 Adding the machine to any monitoring system(s)

A. What is meant by patching the operating system and applications to enable maximum security
and reliability? Write your answer in 50-100 words.
B. Explain the different options involved in the configuration of automatic updates for Windows
Server 2016. Write your answer in 200-150 words.
 Six steps for security patch management best practices
 Patch management is a complex process, and I can't cover all the variables


here. But I can distill the process into six general steps. The importance of each
stage of the patch process--and the amount of time and resources you should
spend on it--will depend on your organization's infrastructure, requirements and
overall security posture.
 Step 1: Develop an up-to-date inventory of all production systems, including

OS types (and versions), IP addresses, physical location, custodian and function.
Commercial tools ranging from general network scanners to automated discovery
products can expedite the process (see Resources, below). You should inventory
your network periodically.
 Step 2: Devise a plan for standardizing production systems to the same

version of OS and application software. The smaller the number of versions you
have running, the easier your job will be later.
 Step 3: Make a list of all the security controls you have in place--routers,
firewalls, IDSes, AV, etc.--as well as their configurations. Don't forget to include
system hardening or nonstandard configurations in your list of controls. This list
will help you decide how to respond to a vulnerability alert (if at all). For example,
let's say you learn that OpenSSH has a vulnerability that may allow a buffer-
overflow attack, but from your list of controls you know you don't allow the SecSH
protocol through your firewall. If nothing else, that knowledge gives you more time
to react.
 Step 4: Compare reported vulnerabilities against your inventory/control list.

There are two key components to this. First, you need a reliable system for
collecting vulnerability alerts. And second, you need to separate the vulnerabilities
that affect your systems from those that don't. Some companies have staff


dedicated to managing this process; others use vulnerability reporting services.
 Step 5: Classify the risk. Assess the vulnerability and likelihood of an attack
in your environment. Perhaps some of your servers are vulnerable, but none of
them is mission-critical. Perhaps your firewall already blocks the service exploited
by the vulnerability. In general, to classify and prioritize the risk, consider three
factors: the severity of the threat (the likelihood of it impacting your environment,
given its global distribution and your inventory/control list); the level of
vulnerability (e.g., is the affected system inside or outside perimeter firewalls?);
and the cost of mitigation and/or recovery.
 Step 6: Apply the patch! OK, so now you have an updated inventory of
systems, a list of controls, a system for collecting and analysing vulnerability alerts
and a risk classification system. You've determined which patches you need to
install. Now comes the hard part: deploying them without disrupting uptime or
production. Fear not, there are several tools that can help you with the actual
patch process (see Resources, below). Evaluate these tools in terms of how well
they fit your environment and budget. In some cases, manual patch maintenance
may be more cost-effective. But in most cases--particularly for multiple servers or
server farms distributed across multiple locations--some type of automated patch
system will more than pay for itself.
B) Automatic updates are only for critical updates. They do not include security patches,
service patches, drivers, or other updates. It is recommended you set up your computer
to do critical updates automatically, even though they are also included in the standard
Windows Updates. You must perform all updates to secure your system. To set up
automatic critical updates:
 Click Start > Control Panel > Security if using Windows Vista or higher
 Assure that the option for automatic updates is turned on.
Windows Security, Service Patch, Drivers, and Other Updates
In addition to setting your computer to do critical updates automatically, you must also
check for and install security and service patch updates. It is recommended that you do
this procedure at least weekly.


 Using the Internet Explorer browser, click Tools > Windows Update
 In Windows Vista or Windows 7, click Safety > Windows Update
 Select the Express option. A check will be performed and you will be presented
with a listing of updates.
 Always select and install security and service patch updates. Driver or other
updates should be installed if they apply to your particular system and needs.
MACINTOSH UPDATES
You must be connected to the Internet to perform updates.
1. Open Software Update by clicking the System Preferences icon in the dock.
2. Select Software Update.
3. Click Update Now.
4. You will now connect to Apple's website and retrieve the latest updates. You will
see a list of updates. Check the items you wish to install and click Install.
5. If asked to accept a software license agreement, read the agreement and
click Accept.
6. Sometimes new components will ask you to restart your computer. If so, you will
see a Restart button. Save your work and close any open programs before
clicking Restart.
7. If the Software Update did not find any new components, you will be so informed
and you may exit

A. Explain network services in your own words. In 50-100 words.
B. List any five network services and network connectivity devices.
In computer networking, a network service is an application running at the

network application layer and above, that provides data storage, manipulation,
presentation, communication or other capability which is often implemented
using a client-server or peer-to-peer architecture based on application
layer network protocols.
Each service is usually provided by a server component running on one or


more computers (often a dedicated server computer offering multiple services)
and accessed via a network by client components running on other devices.
However, the client and server components can both be run on the same
machine.
B
The list of the five netwok services are
 Directory services
 e-Mail
 File sharing
 Instant messaging
 Online game
Network conictivity are

 The Network Interface card (NIC)
 The hub.
 The switch.
 The bridge.
 Transceivers.

Scenario: -
Delta International College is a globally-recognised education institution, specialising in providing

international students with vocational education training in a supportive and caring environment.
Due to the progressive success of the institute, it has been decided by the IT department and the
Academics department to have the centralised system for the management of the students’ records,
both the academic progress and the personal information.
For this purpose an online academics management system has already been approved and is set to
be implemented across the institute. The system is known as the MOODLE and will make the
students to do their assessments online on the premises of the institute. This system will also help
the trainers to check and assess these assessments online. Also, an in house developed Student
Information Management System is to be implemented to record the personal information and
documents of the students along with their accounts/fees management.
For, this IT department lead by Neil, IT Manager will supervise the implementation of the network
server so that these systems can be implemented and can be used on the network of the institute.
While Rob, the System Administrator will be responsible for setup of a network server for the
implementation of the MOODLE and Student Information Management System on it.
The network server will be online and can be accessed from anywhere in the college using the
network connected computers. Also, the network is comprised of computers, scanners, printers and
a WiFI access point enabling the laptops and hand held devices to be connected with the network
and can access the network server. Note, the network server can only be access within the LAN of
the institute that means it cannot be access remotely or using the internet.

Create a test plan


1. If you haven't already, sign up for VSTS, create your project, and create your backlog.
2. In VSTS, open your project.
3. Go to the Test Plans tab of the Test hub. Create a test plan for your current sprint.
4. Name the test plan. Check the area path and iteration. Then choose Create.
Add a test suite and select backlog items to test
1. Now add test suites for the backlog items that need manual tests. (These backlog items
could be user stories, requirements, or other work items based on the setup of your
project.)

You use requirement-based suites to group your test cases together. That way, you can track the
testing status of a backlog item. Each test case that you add to a requirement-based test suite is
automatically linked to the backlog item.
2. Add a clause to filter by the iteration path for the sprint. Run the query to view the
matching backlog items.
3. Select the backlog items that you want to test this sprint. Add them as requirements to
your test plan by creating test suites from them.

Now you've created a requirement-based test suite for each backlog item.
 Work Health and Safety processes and procedures
A procedure sets out the steps to be followed for work activities. You must consult with affected
workers when developing procedures for:
 resolving work health and safety issues
 consulting with workers on work health and safety
 monitoring workers’ health and workplace conditions
 providing information and training.
Procedures should be in writing to provide clarity and certainty at the workplace and demonstrate
compliance. They should clearly set out the role of health and safety representatives, and any
other parties involved in the activity. The procedures should be easily accessible, for example by
placing them on noticeboards and intranet sites.
In the context of issue resolution where procedures are agreed to, the Work, Health and Safety
Regulations 2011 include minimum requirements including that these procedures are set out in
writing and communicated to all workers to whom the procedure applies.
Many workplaces are required by law to have health and safety committees, which help develop
standards, rules and procedures for health and safety that are to be followed or complied with at
the workplace. According to the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011, when it comes to risk
management, a procedure is a form of ‘administrative control’ that means a method of work, a
process or a procedure designed to minimise risk.

The Work Health and Safety Act (2011) states that while at work, a worker must co-operate with
any reasonable policy or procedure of the person conducting the business or undertaking (PCBU)
relating to health or safety at the workplace that has been notified to workers.
 Backup of the system for the installation procedures
To create and implement a backup and recovery plan. You’ll need to figure out what data needs to
be backed up, how often the data should be backed up, and more. To help you create a plan,
consider the following questions:
How important or sensitive is the data on your systems?
The importance of data can go a long way toward helping you determine if you need to back it up
—as well as when and how it should be backed up. For critical data, such as a database, you’ll
want to have redundant backup sets that extend back for several backup periods. For sensitive
data, you’ll want to ensure that backup data is physically secure or encrypted. For less important
data, such as daily user files, you won’t need such an elaborate backup plan, but you’ll need to
back up the data regularly and ensure that the data can be recovered easily.
What type of information does the data contain?
Data that doesn’t seem important to you might be very important to someone else. Thus, the type
of information the data contains can help you determine if you need to back up the data—as well
as when and how the data should be backed up.
How often does the data change?
The frequency of change can affect your decision on how often the data should be backed up. For
example, data that changes daily should be backed up daily.
Can you supplement backups with shadow copies?
Shadow copies are point-in-time copies of documents in shared folders. These point-in-time copies
make recovering documents easy, because you can quickly go back to an older version in case a
document is deleted or overwritten accidentally. You should use shadow copies in addition to
standard backup—not to replace backup procedures.
How quickly do you need to recover the data?
Time is an important factor in creating a backup plan. For critical systems, you might need to get
back online swiftly. To do this, you might need to alter your backup plan.
Do you have the equipment to perform backups?


You must have backup hardware to perform backups. To perform timely backups, you might need
several backup devices and several sets of backup media. Backup hardware includes tape drives,
optical drives, and removable disk drives. Generally, tape drives are less expensive but slower than
other types of drives.
Who will be responsible for the backup and recovery plan?
Ideally, someone should be a primary contact for the organization’s backup and recovery plan. This
person might also be responsible for performing the actual backup and recovery of data.
What’s the best time to schedule backups?
Scheduling backups when system use is as low as possible will speed the backup process. However,
you can’t always schedule backups for off-peak hours. So you need to carefully plan when key
system data is backed up.
Do you need to store backups off-site?
Storing copies of backup tapes off-site is essential to recovering your systems in the case of a
natural disaster. In your offsite storage location, you should also include copies of the software you
might need to install to reestablish operational systems.

TASK 2:
Once the testing of the integrated server solution is done, you need to prepare a report on the
following in terms of the documentation of the network design and the installation. The report must
include the following:
 Changes made to the server including the following changes:
o Configuration changes
o Operational Changes
 Also complete this report including the server status and at the end you need to complete
the sign off the implementation process initiation from the General Manager and Chief
information Officer.
Template for Report on Network Server:
Background: To prepare the report on the basis of Network server, documentation of the
network design and the installation.
Configuration Changes:
May include a reliable way for knowing when, who, what, and how your device configurations
have changed. This will help you detect out-of-process and rogue changes, reconcile changes to
valid change requests, and ensure that actual changes were properly made. Look for solutions
which can detect config changes (in real-time if needed), permit configurable alerting options,
as well as show what changed in a config and who made the change. Also look for the ability to
create automated actions that self-correct and maintain a history of all changes and details.
You can verify whether or not the mapping is successful by one of the following methods:
1. Viewing the configuration spreadsheet from the Server Configuration tab. If the
mapping is not successful the problem information appears red for the particular server.
2. Viewing the Server Configuration Status from the Administration tab. If the mapping is
not successful, a message appears indicating that the server configuration is not valid, or the
server information is not complete. You are prompted to view the configuration spreadsheet to
determine where the problem occurs.
Operational changes to server:
May include the following:
Always know what devices are on your network, what devices are under management, and
what devices are under maintenance. Look for solutions that auto-discover devices, offer


customizable device profiles and track lifecycle metrics, including support and maintenance
eligibility, security alerts, warranty updates, and end-of service and life dates.
Multi-user access. Multi-user access means more than a pretty web UI. It also means that roles
and permissions can be securely delegated to individuals. Look for a solution which offers user
management (or integration with a directory service), the ability to assign users to roles, the
ability to associate roles with devices, and granular permissions to perform actions on
associated devices. Also look for workflows to manage communication and coordination
between users.
Server Status:
Check by using the flowing and include in report:
To find or view the log files that are generated by IIS, you must locate the folder that is used to
store these files. To find the folder and location for a log file, follow these steps:
1. Log on to the integration server computer as Administrator.

2. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
3. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Internet Services Manager.
4. Click Properties to open the extended properties dialog box.
5. Click the General Properties tab. View the bottom of the window. IIS displays the format
and location of the log files that are generated. You can open and view the file and
viewed with WordPad, Microsoft Word, or another text file viewer.
