Purpose: Consolidate systems administration procedures written for Labs 1, 2, 3, and 4 into a System Administration Procedures manual.

Objectives

1. Develop a System Administration Manual using procedures written during the four labs in this course.

2. Professionally edit and format a business document containing cybersecurity direction and guidance.

3. Revise and correct procedures using feedback from the course instructor.

Overview

For this assignment, you will prepare a professionally formatted manual containing the system administration procedures written by you as part of the four labs in this course. Your manual will contain a title page, table of contents, preface, three groups of procedures, and a reference list (Bibliography is optional).

As you build your manual, you should revise the individual system administration procedures using feedback provided to you by your instructor. Note: you will not have instructor feedback for the lab 4 procedures since these are due at the same time as the manual.

Deliverable

Submit your system administration manual in MS Word format (.docx or .doc file types) using the corresponding assignment folder entry (in LEO). You must also submit the file containing your manual to TurnItIn for originality checking.

Instructions

1. Using the grading rubrics and other feedback from your instructor, refine your step-by-step procedures.

2. Download and review the template file (Course Resources > System Administration Manual Template). You may use this template file or design your own manual.

3. Complete the following sections in your Manual

a. Title Page

b. Table of Contents

c. Preface (this is an introduction to the manual – who it is for and how they will use it)

d. Section 1: Technical System Administration Procedures (paste in the procedures from lab 1 and lab 2)

e. Section 2: Procedures for User & Group Policy Administration (paste in the procedures from lab 3)

f. Section 3: Procedures for Security Configuration Baseline Management (paste in the procedures from lab 4)

g. Bibliography (optional – remove if not used)

h. References (provide a consolidated list which includes the references used in the individual procedures)

4. Each procedure document must begin at the top of a new page in your manual. Use a page break to separate each procedure from the next procedure (page breaks are already in the template file).

5. Adjust the section heading formatting and paragraph formatting so that your document has a neat and professional appearance.

6. Update the Table of Contents before you save your file.

7. Submit your file to TurnItIn for Originality Checking.

8. Submit your file as an attachment to the LEO Assignment Folder entry for this assignment.

Notes

1. If you did not complete a lab earlier in the course, you should take this opportunity to write the missing procedures and include them in your manual.

2. Work completed for this assignment will only count towards your grade for this assignment and must meet the requirements of this assignment. The grades previously assigned for your work for each lab assignment will not be revised or adjusted.

3. Captions are not required for images included inside the step-by-step procedures.

4. Your instructor will be checking the TurnItIn report to verify that your manual is primarily your own original work and that the procedures themselves were not copied wholesale from other sources. It is expected that the overall match score will be higher than usually allowed due to the repetitive nature of step-by-step procedures and the use of standard phrasing that TurnItIn’s filters do not exclude. Matches to common phrases will not count against the student.
