Windows Server and NRPT Assignment
This assignment had four tasks to complete. Task one was to install a version of Windows
Server 2016 on a CybrScore lab shell. Task two, we were asked to create a server as a domain
controller with a namespace as “abcd.com”. Task three, we were asked to use PowerShell to add
an NRPT rule to configure the server at “10.1.0.1”. The final task was to use PowerShell to
retrieve the NRPT rule.
Task one: The process of installing the server manager was simple and straightforward
and I did not encounter any errors. (Picture not provided due to walking away from computer
during installation and afterwards not remembering to screenshot it). Here is a step-by-step of
how I installed the program. I launched CybrScore labshell and chose appropriate boot option for
DVD. I chose to install Windows Server 2016 Standard (with desktop experience). I chose
“Custom” install option and chose the disk 0 partition. When installation finished and I set up
Admin password.
Task two: When configuring the Server as a Domain Controller I did not encounter any
errors. I followed the guideline from Microsoft's TechNet. I named my server “TESTSERVER1”.

Task three: Using PowerShell, I added a Name Resolution Policy Table rule that
configures the server at 10.0.0.1 as a DNS server for the namespace abcd.com. I know the
assignment was to configure the server at 10.1.0.1, however, due to following the step-by-step
guideline on Microsoft Docs, I did not configure accordingly.
Task four: Using PowerShell, I retrieved the Name Resolution Policy Table rule that is
configured on the server. The command was “Get-DnsClientNrptRule” which can be found via
Microsoft Docs. I followed the instructions on the Microsoft Docs site and didn't encounter any
