Question

The Portfolio Project is due at the end of Week 8—the last week and module of the course. This assignment is a means for students to display their mastery of the material, and to provide a creative and realistic way in which to apply knowledge from ITS405. Create a detailed, organized, and unified technical solution given a scenario described in the document Portfolio Project Scenario linked inside module 8 folder. Your solution should draw on the content presented in the course. The outline below lists points/topics to cover. You are free to provide additional, related information. Provide technical and justification reasons for each choice, citing resources as appropriate. Provide rough estimates of scheduling and manpower required for deploying your solution. You may summarize the schedule and manpower at the end of the document, or include it separately for each section. The Windows Server 2016 operating system should be used for all aspects of the solution. Your solution should cover the following four numbered areas and associated bulleted items listed under each: Deployment and Server Editions How many total servers are needed? Which roles will be combined? Which edition of Windows Server will be used for each server (e.g., Standard, Data)? Should servers be virtualized using Hyper-V? Where will each of the servers be located (which of the two sites)? How will the servers be deployed? DNS DNS namespace design (e.g., domain name[s] chosen split DNS for internet/intranet, zones) How will DNS be handled for the second site? Active Directory Number of AD domains and names of those domains Will there be any Read-Only Domain Controllers? How will the second site factor into domain controller placement? How will AD sites be configured? File and Printer Sharing What shares might be needed? (Consider some of the reasoning supplied in the relevant chapter of the textbook.) How will quotas/FSRM be configured? (Consider all aspects, such as thresholds, altering, file screens, and reporting.) Will a DFS namespace be implemented?

Answer 1

1) In the problem sited let us use the solution of creating an environment for the IT infrastructure using the windows server 2016 standard edition.

2) As per the requirement let us Install a windows server first after the installation let us install the domain using the command “DC promo”.

3) While installing the domain create a new domain.

4) Provide the domain name that you want to create an example “education.com”.

5) Provide the network DNS address and install the windows server.

6) After installing the server now let us add one more server to the domain.

7) Now let us follow the steps for installing the domain in the existing domain.

8) Open server manager and click add roles and features and click on the role-based installation.

9) Now select the server that you want to add the domain.

10) After selecting the server now add the features that you want to add to the server.

11) In deployment, configuration select add a new domain to an existing forest and in the next step ignore the error message.

12) Enter the password and select the DNS and continue the installation.

13) We will include Hyper-V feature in the installation.

14) We can add active directory sites to the domain by entering into the AD sites and services click on the AD sites and services and add a new site and provide the site name.

15) For splitting the DNS first configure the external FQDN with your domain name.

16 ) For configuring these we need to go to control panel and open the zone profiles and add new zone profile and rename the zone and add IPV4 address.

17) In the next step configure the DNS internally and create the zone and after this right, the zone created and leave the namespace empty.

18) And in the next step provide the IP address and click add host.

19) And for sharing purposes we can use the file and printer sharing also.
