Windows Server and NRPT Assignment Instructions

Overview

A common task for system administrators is to configure critical services. This project requires that you work in a CybrScore shell with a virtual installation of Windows Server that will be promoted to a Domain Controller as well as configuring several aspects of DNS on that server.

Instructions

You will include a reflective paper of at least 1,000 in current APA format that details the installations, configurations, challenges, and solutions to complete the following systems administration project:

1) Install a virtual instance of Windows Server inside your Cybrscore Lab shell.

2) Configure the Server as a Domain Controller. Guiding steps for this can be found at Microsoft’s TechNet.

3) Using PowerShell, add a Name Resolution Policy Table rule that configures the server at 10.1.0.1 as a DNS server for the namespace abcd.com. Guiding steps for this can be found via Microsoft Docs.

4) Using PowerShell, retrieve the Name Resolution Policy Table rule that is configured on the server.

The paper must utilize appendixes to reference screenshots along the way. Screenshots must identify a unique piece of information on the user’s computer such as a picture and include the system date and time in each screen capture. At the minimum, screenshots must exist of a few key steps during the installation of the operating system, key steps during the installation of AD DS, and key steps during promotion of the server to a DC.

Refer to rubric for detailed requirements.
