Sales Office Details.doc


In the sales offices, we have a number of line-of-business applications, including a Microsoft SQL Serverbased database. The local sales office updates and replicates back to the head office overnight. The SQL Server database needs access to a directory of customers. In the western region, we have three offices, each with around 100 computers. We have a routed connection back to the head office. Alan Steiner tells me that name resolution is provided by WINS and DNS, as we have a legacy NetBIOS application.

Lab Instructions: Planning and Provisioning Active Directory Domain Services

There was some talk of creating a separate name space for sales, such as Sales.Contoso.com, but we have implemented this only as an e-mail domain. The computers are all part of the Contoso.com domain. Weve had some issues in the past with security; we often have members of the public in our sales offices, and consequently, security is a critical factor. We do not always have the option of a secure computer room, and so our laptops are locked to the desks. Servers are often to be found in a closet, or small office. Each branch office consists of a number of subnets; two for hosting the sales staff laptops and another for branch network servers. Branch Office Planning Document Reference Number: GW0809/2 Document Author Date Gregory Weber September 1

Requirement Overview To determine the placement and configuration of domain controllers and related services at the western region sales offices.

Lab Instructions: Planning Group Policy Strategy

From: Sent: To: Subject: Charlotte,

Ed Meadows [Ed@contoso.com] September 15, 2011 17:30 Charlotte@contoso.com Group policy implementation

Id like you to take the lead on planning our implementation of group policy. At this time, we have only the default GPOs in place for the domain and domain controllers. Here are the requirements: Read and write access to removable drives should be blocked for all office computers, including servers. Because weve upgraded all the computers to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, this should be no problem. We must ensure that another GPO does not override this setting. Because of the creation of the three new branch offices for the Research Department, we are hiring a new person to manage those offices. Wed like the new person to be able to manage group policy for those remote offices, but not the head office. Id like to start using group policy preferences for drive mappings, rather than logon scripts. We want the drive letters to be consistent in each location, but the server names will vary in each location. Application installation and updates for the branches will be done by using group policy. In the branch offices, the sales staff and office staff will have different applications. We need to be able to roll applications out one location at a time, during initial deployment. However, later updates can be done for all branches at once. Application installation files should be stored in DFS and replicated to each branch. The computer training lab in the head office should not be subject to the restriction on removable drives. Well be using USB drives to configure these computers for various courses.

At a minimum, I need to you to determine how these can be implemented. As part of your plan, please create an OU structure and define where each group policy will be linked. Let me know if you require any clarification. Ed

Requirements Overview Determine the appropriate application delivery method to use for the Marketing departments new CRM application. Application Deployment Plan Proposals 1. What type of application configuration should be used for the CRM application? Answer: Remote Desktop Session Host presentation virtualization should be used for this implementation. Due to the spread-out nature of the users and the specific requirements of the application, this method will provide the best performance and scalability for the application while requiring relatively few new resources. 2. Where should the application host servers be located within Contoso, Ltds branch network? Answer: The application servers should be hosted in New York, where the database server is located. A large amount of network bandwidth will be required between the application servers and the database server. 3. How can the application deployment be implemented to handle the current user load and easily scale to accommodate user growth? Answer: A server farm should be created in the New York location. The Remote Desktop Connection Broker service should be installed to implement application load balancing for the farm. 4. How should the application deployment integrate with the server component of the CRM application? Answer: The applications running on the RD Session Host farm group members should be configured to connect to the CRM database server over the network. Adequate network configuration should be implemented between RD Session Host servers and the database server in

E-mail thread of correspondence with Ed Meadows:

Charlotte Weiss
From: Sent: To: Subject: Charlotte, Thanks for agreeing to head up this deployment. Ive drawn up a list of requirements for the file and print services at the first branch. Although these offices are all new, the departments based there are moving their existing server infrastructure across to the new locations. Here are the initial requirements: The marketing team has an application that stores data files at a local file server. Someone in the team then manually copies these files to a central location where they can be consolidated. We need to automate this process. There are three departments in each branch: marketing, research, and production. We need a data folder for each department. Each user account requires a home folder for personal files. Well use GPO to configure folder redirection for documents to this personal location. Users require standardized desktop settings. Well use GPO to create a folder redirection, but we need the folders that will store these desktop settings and start menus. I think the best approach is to use advanced folder redirection based on security group membership. The production team has a UNIX application. We need to host these files on the branch server. We will migrate the application to Win32 later. Theres an old Windows 2000 file server in the research department. I think we should take the opportunity to migrate the data from that. We need to implement printer locations and publish all printers in AD DS to ensure that visiting users to each branch can quickly locate the nearest printer. Storage is limited at the branch, and the department heads are happy to apportion the cost of storage, based upon departmental usage. Weve had some problems with storage being consumed by large media files. We need to resolve this issue at this new branch before it goes the same way as the head office servers.

Charlotte Weiss
From: Sent: To: Subject: Charlotte, Ive just got back from the branch offices tour. I chatted to various users and to the Research manager, Dylan Miller. Here are my findings: The users need access to all servers to which they usually connect, both in the head office and their branches. Most users work from home, but some work from customer site and from wireless hotspots. Although we provide research workers with laptops, some use their own desktop computers from home. Dylan has stressed that due to the sensitive nature of the work that his staff undertake, security of data in transit is important. Ed Meadows [Ed@contoso.com] 5 November 2011 14:27 Charlotte@contoso.com Branch Office Network Access

From a technical standpoint, Ive had a few thoughts: Just a reminder, we have deferred the IPv6 rollout, so there is currently no IPv6 at the branches or the head office. All client computers are configured by using DHCP. DHCP runs on the NYC-DC1 server at the head office. All clients should be running Windows Firewall.

Regards, Ed

Email thread of correspondence with Ed Meadows:

Charlotte Weiss
From: Sent: To: Subject: Charlotte, Dylan has told me that his department requires access to head office data. The trouble is that some of the branches have slow links to the head office and some of these files can be pretty large. In addition, they have an application that uses local data but that needs to be centrally collected. What I need you to do is look at the list of requirements and come up with a plan for configuring data access in the branch offices. Requirements: Research templates must be available from both the head office and the branch offices Data files for the research department must be collated to a central folder at the head office. Data access should be optimized for slow remote links, where necessary. Ed Meadows [Ed@contoso.com] 12 December 2011 10:12 Charlotte@contoso.com Data access for branch offices

Lab Scenario
Contoso, Ltd has a head office site located in Melbourne, Australia and state branch offices located in Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, and Hobart. WSUS is already deployed at the head office site and you want to configure a replica at the second site. This replica should inherit all approvals, updates, and computer groups from the head office site. You also want to configure WSUS to support BITS and BranchCache so that sites without replica servers minimize the amount of bandwidth that they devote to update traffic.

Lab Instructions: Planning Update Deployment

Exercise 1: Analyze WSUS Deployment Plan


Scenario
Contoso is in the process of preparing to deploy WSUS and have asked for your advice. A deployment plan has been prepared for your review and you have been asked to come up with deployment recommendations for WSUS servers. The main tasks for this exercise are as follows: 1. 2. 3. Read the Contoso WSUS deployment plan. Update the Visio diagram with your proposed WSUS deployment. Discuss your WSUS configuration plan.

Supporting Documentation
Contoso WSUS Server Deployment Plan Document Reference Number: GW1203/1 Document Author: HazemAbolrous Date: 26th January Requirements Overview Contoso, Ltd in Australia wants to reduce the number of operating system updates that are downloaded from the Microsoft Update servers on the Internet as a way of reducing the costs associated with the utilization of bandwidth. Contoso has an agreement with its Internet Service Provider that substantially discounts the cost of traffic transmitted across WAN links when compared to the cost of downloading data directly from locations on the Internet such as Microsoft Update. All branch offices have connections to the Internet as well as dedicated WAN connections. The amount of data transmitted across WAN links should be minimized. Only one WSUS server should be deployed at each site. Administrators in the Melbourne site are responsible for approving updates to computers in the Perth, Adelaide, and Hobart sites. Administrators in the Sydney site are responsible for approving updates to computers in the Sydney site. The cost of transmitting data across the Melbourne to Perth link is equivalent to the cost of downloading data from locations on the Internet such as Microsoft Update.

Task 1: Read the Contoso WSUS Deployment Plan document.


1. Read the supporting documentation.

Task 2: Update the Visio diagram, placing WSUS servers at each site.
1. 2. Open the Visio diagram that represents the Contoso Australia WSUS server. The Visio file is located on NYC-CL1 in the D:\Labfiles\Mod09 folder. Copy items representing each WSUS server type to each site. You may need to use the same item in more than one location.

Lab Instructions: Planning Update Deployment

Task 3: Discuss your WSUS configuration plan.


1. Discuss the following questions with the class: Under what conditions could you use BranchCache rather than a WSUS server at the Hobart site? At which site would you place two WSUS servers if you were concerned about redundancy? How would you configure Group Policy to ensure that computers at each location were directed to use the appropriate WSUS server?

Results: In this exercise, you will have planned a suitable WSUS deployment configuration for Contoso.

Supporting Documentation
Email thread of correspondence with Ed Meadows:

Charlotte Weiss
From: Sent: To: Subject: Charlotte, The Research database is currently in the head office only, although that is set to change; we're creating a distributed version of the database later this year. The distributed version will work essentially the same way, but there will be localized versions of the databases replicated among the research branch offices. It has a SQL Server back-end, and the front-end is web-based; IIS provides the front-end access. The actual database is stored on disks attached to an iSCSI SAN. The outage was caused when the web server hosting the front end suffered a power supply failure; it just started to smoke and then went offline! Hope all that helps you, Regards, Ed Ed Meadows [Ed@contoso.com] December 12, 2011 10:12 Charlotte@contoso.com Research database application

Lab Scenario
Contoso, Ltd. is deploying a three server environment to allow for the testing of new applications that are planned to be introduced into the production environment. The environment currently consists of two servers: NYC-DC1, the domain controller and NYC-SVR1, an application test server. After your initial configuration is complete, 10 more application test servers will be introduced to the test environment. Application servers will be moved in and out of the test groups as need arises, including the original application test server, NYC-SVR1. Because of the nature of the testing process, users in the application test group have been given widereaching permissions on the servers in the test group.

Lab Instructions: Planning Performance and Event Monitoring

The owner of the project wants to be able to keep track of modifications to application installation and uninstallation without having to directly monitor each server in the environment. You have been asked to plan the implementation of a monitoring and notification system that fulfills the requirements of the project owner, Ed Meadows. For this project, you must complete the following tasks: Plan the configuration of event management. Implement event subscriptions. Implement custom views. Implement event tasks.

Exercise 1: Planning Enterprise Event Log Management


Scenario
Your plan must fulfill the following requirements Ed Meadows would like to review all events related to application installation or uninstallation that occur on the test application servers. All applications use Microsoft Installer (MSI)-based installers. These events should be stored in one location, with only the relevant events in the list. Ed Meadows would also like to quickly view the relevant list for each application server on the local server. Ed Meadows would like local users on the application test servers to be notified locally when an installation-related event occurs.

The main task for this exercise is as follows:

Task 1: Answer the planning questions.


1. 2. 3. 4. 5. How will you facilitate the central collection of events from the application test servers? Where will you collect the events from the application test servers, what event subscription type will you use, and how will you determine which events to collect? How will you provide a list of only the installation-related events on each of the local application test servers? How can you effectively implement these lists on all servers, including those that will be added later? How will you implement the notification system specified in the scenario?

Results: After completing this exercise, you should have planned enterprise log management.

Exercise 2: Configuring Event Subscriptions


Scenario
You have decided to implement event subscriptions to centralize the event viewing process for Ed Meadows. According to your plan, you will centrally collect events by using collector initiated subscriptions from NYC-DC1. Both computers will need to be prepared for event subscriptions prior to creating and testing the subscription. Because the installers for the applications are using MSI, the MsiInstaller source can be used to filter the events in the subscription.

Lab Instructions: Planning Performance and Event Monitoring

The main tasks for this exercise are as follows: 1. 2. 3. Prepare all computers for event subscriptions. Create the event subscription. Test the event subscription by installing an application.

Task 1: Prepare all computers for event subscriptions.

Configure Contoso\Administrator as the user account to run the subscription under.

Confirm the status of the subscription as Active. Confirm the runtime status of the subscription as OK.

Task 3: Test the event subscription by installing an application.


1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Switch to NYC-SVR1. On NYC-SVR1, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the D:\Mod13\Labfiles directory. Run the installation program for xmlnotepad.msi and install the application. Switch to NYC-DC1. Open Event Viewer and browse to the Forwarded Events node. Check for MsiInstaller events from NYC-SVR1. Note 7. The events may take one minute or so to appear in the Forwarded Events view.

Close Event Viewer.

Results: After completing this exercise, you should have configured event subscriptions.

Lab Instructions: Planning Performance and Event Monitoring

Exercise 3: Creating Custom Views


Scenario
You have decided to use custom views to provide the required event list on each application test server. You will create a custom view on NYC-SVR1. As with the event subscription creation, you can use the MsiInstaller source to filter the local events so that only the relevant events are listed in the view. You will also export this view and test the import process on NYC-SVR1. The main tasks for this exercise are as follows: 1. 2. 3. Create and test a custom view. Export the custom view. Import and test the custom view.

Task 1: Create and test a custom view.


1. 2. 3. 4. Switch to NYC-SVR1. Open the Event Viewer console. Create a custom view named Application Installation Events View that filters events based on the MsiInstaller event source. Open the Application Installation Events View custom view and ensure that the events logged during the application installation in Exercise 2 are present.

Lab: Planning and Implementing Server Deployment


Exercise 1: Planning a Windows Server 2008 R2 Deployment
Task 1: Read the supporting documentation.
1. Read the supporting documentation.

Task 2: Update the proposal document with your planned course of action.
1. Answer the questions in the Contoso Windows Server 2008 R2 Deployment Plan document. Contoso Windows Server 2008 R2 Deployment Plan Document Reference Number:CW2805/1 Document Author Date Charlotte Weiss 28th May

Requirements Overview To provide information to help plan the upgrade/migration to Windows Server 2008 R2. Additional Information Branch Office 2 supports forty client computers and two servers. Branch Office 2 is isolated from the Internet. Branch Office 2 has no server room and servers are placed in the main office space. Proposals 1. In Eds email, he recommended that Charlotte should examine the server utilization figures. Why is this significant when planning server deployment? Answer: Servers that are under-utilized could be combined to reduce the hardware footprint within Contoso. Also, you could consider using server virtualization for those servers that are currently under-utilized. 2. Ed also reminded Charlotte that some departments used servers and client workstations that are isolated from the Internet. What is the impact of this in terms of deployment? Answer: Activation from servers (and client workstations) that are isolated from the Internet must be performed manually with activation keys, or by using KMS or MAK. 3. In environments where there are isolated servers and workstations, which factors determine the activation technology that you use? Answer: The number of servers and workstations determines whether you use MAK or KMS. To use KMS, you need at least 25 servers and workstations. 4. Are there situations where virtualization is indicated? Answer: Most servers, if not all, could be virtualized. However, the servers in Branch Office 2 should be combined and virtualized because their utilization is low. 5. How would you help to improve security at Branch Office 2?

Lab Answer Key: Planning Server Deployment and Upgrade

Contoso Windows Server 2008 R2 Deployment Plan Answer: Use of Server Core could help to improve security. It supports the Hyper-V server role and could act as a platform for any virtual servers deployed at the branch. 6. Which activation method would you use at Branch Office 2? Answer: KMS is indicated. 7. All the other branches have similar server configurations to that in Branch Office 2. Assuming Contoso accepts your proposals for the branch servers at Branch Office 2, how would you propose to deploy the servers at this and the other ten branches in the New York area? Answer: Creating an image for the deployment of these servers would save time and ensure a standard server configuration. Using WDS would help to deploy the images more quickly, depending upon network bandwidth to the branches from the deployment server. Also, WDS requires DHCP. This is not shown in the datasheet as being available in the branches. Further investigation is warranted.

Exercise 1: Planning the Deployment of DHCP and DNS Servers
Task 1: Read the supporting documentation.
Read the email message and the proposal document in the main module document under Exercise 1.

Task 2: Update the proposal document with your planned course of action.
Answer the questions in the Branch Office Network Infrastructure Plan: Network Services document. Branch Office Network Infrastructure Plan: Network Services Document Reference Number: CW0711/1 Document Author Date Charlotte Weiss 25th July

Requirements Overview Specify which network services are required in each branch office and any changes that might be required in the head office to facilitate your proposals. Additional Information It is important that any router, server, or communications link failure do not adversely affect users. Branch Office Network Infrastructure Plan: Network Services Proposals 1. How many DHCP servers do you propose to deploy in the region? Answer: Assuming that the routers are all RFC-compliant, there is no need to deploy DHCP servers in each subnet. Perhaps, one DHCP server in each location would be sufficient. For fault tolerance, duplicate scopes configured at the head office DHCP server, with appropriate exclusions to support the 80/20 rule, would provide for addressing fault tolerance. 2. Where do you propose to deploy these servers? Answer: One DHCP server in each regional office 3. What name resolution services are required? Answer: Both DNS and NetBIOS name resolution are required. 4. To support the DNS name space in the sales division, how would you propose to configure DNS? Answer: There are two choices: a. Configure a subdomain for research in the existing contoso.com DNS name space. Then, create sufficient DNS servers for deployment to the region as secondary servers of the contoso.com zone. Create a delegation for the research.contoso.com zone in the contoso.com zone. Provide at least two name servers to support this delegated zone.

b.

5. Will you require WINS?

Lab Answer Key: Planning Network Addressing and Name Resolution

Branch Office Network Infrastructure Plan: Network Services Answer: Possibly 6. If so, how many WINS servers will you require for the region? Answer: Probably two, configured as replicas. 7. If not, how do you propose to support single-label names? Answer: Instead of WINS, the GlobalNames zone could be used.

Task 2: Update the proposal document with your planned course of action.
Answer the questions in the Contoso Group Policy Plan document. This is located in the main module document under Exercise 1. Contoso Group Policy Plan Document Reference Number: CW0911/1 Document Author Date Charlotte Weiss 16th September

Requirements Overview To create the AD DS infrastructure required to support GPO deployment. To create GPOs and link them to the containers in AD DS. To configure filtering and loopback processing as required to fine-tune the GPO application. Proposals 1. How will you accommodate the requirement to block access to removable read and write storage devices on office computers and ensure that this setting cannot be overridden? Answer: Create a GPO with the required settings to restrict use of removable storage devices. Link this to the appropriate AD DS container. For example, if all computers in the domain must adhere to this restriction, link the policy to the domain container. To ensure that the settings cannot be overridden, configure Enforced on the new GPO. Recommended settings: Enable both Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Removable Storage Access\Removable Disks: Deny read access and Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Removable Storage Access\Removable Disks: Deny write access 2. How do you intend to allow new users in the branch offices to be able to manage branch office

Lab Answer Key: Planning Group Policy Strategy

Contoso Group Policy Plan GPOs and not head office GPOs? Answer: Create an AD DS security group and add the new user to this group. Assign the group the required GPO management permissions on the branch offices GPOs. 3. How do you propose to support the different application needs of sales and office staff in the branch offices? Answer: Create a GPO for each group at the branch offices. Use Security filtering to restrict the assignment of the GPO to the required group. For example, create a GPO for assigning a required application to the Sales team. Link the GPO to the branch office organizational unit. Modify the default GPO permissions by removing the Authenticated Users entry from the Access Control List (ACL). Add the Sales security group to the GPOs ACL with the read and apply group policy permissions. 4. What changes to you plans must you make to support the training lab requirements? Answer: The policy to apply the removable storage restriction if applied at the domain level and enforced cannot be easily bypassed; blocking inheritance is overridden by using enforcement. One solution is to apply the removable storage restriction in a GPO that is linked to all organizational units that contain office computers and not to the separate OU that contains the training lab computers. A different approach would be to use security group filtering to deny the apply policy permission to a group that contains lab computers.

Task 3: Compare your solution with the one provided in the Lab Answer Key.
Compare your solution with the suggested solution in the Lab Answer Key and be prepared to discuss your own solution with the class.

Results: In this exercise, you completed the Contoso Group Policy Plan.

Requirements Overview Determine the appropriate application delivery method to use for the Marketing departments new CRM application. Document Reference Number: CW0729/1 Application Deployment Plan Proposals 1. What type of application configuration should be used for the CRM application? Answer: Remote Desktop Session Host presentation virtualization should be used for this implementation. Due to the spread-out nature of the users and the specific requirements of the application, this method will provide the best performance and scalability for the application while requiring relatively few new resources. 2. Where should the application host servers be located within branch network of Contoso, Ltd? Answer: The application servers should be hosted in New York, where the database server is located. A large amount of network bandwidth will be required between the application servers and the database server. 3. How can the application deployment be implemented to handle the current user load and easily scale to accommodate user growth? Answer: A server farm should be created in the New York location. The Remote Desktop Connection Broker service should be installed to implement application load balancing for the farm. 4. How should the application deployment integrate with the server component of the CRM application? Answer: The applications running on the RD Session Host farm group members should be

Lab Answer Key: Planning and Provisioning Application Servers

Application Server Deployment Plan configured to connect to the CRM database server over the network. Adequate network configuration should be implemented between RD Session Host servers and the database server to avoid affecting the applications performance negatively. 5. What potential issues could arise with the current configuration? How could these issues be rectified? Answer: There is currently only one RD Connection Broker in the deployment. Failure of this server would result in the temporary unavailability of the RD Session Host servers. This could be rectified by configuring the RD Connection Broker server as a member of a failover cluster.

Task 3: Compare your solution with the one provided in the Lab Answer Key.

Exercise 1: Planning File Services
Task 1: Read the supporting documentation.
Read the email and the Branch Offices File and Print Service Deployment Plan document in the main module document beneath the exercise 1 scenario.

Task 2: Update the proposal document with your planned course of action.
Answer the questions in the Branch Offices File and Print Service Deployment Plan document. Branch Offices File and Print Service Deployment Plan Document Reference Number:CW0111/1 Document Author Date Charlotte Weiss 1st November

Requirements Overview Implement file and print services in the branch offices. Migrate data from legacy systems running UNIX and Windows 2000 Server. Support the data storage needs of the three departments at the branch offices including: Home folders for each user. Departmental shared folders. Folders to store departmental Start Menu and Desktop settings. Automatic consolidation of marketing team data to central location each evening. Deploy print services to support the branch users. Proposals 1. Which file services role service will you deploy to support the needs of the branch office users? Answer: Distributed File System can be deployed to support a number of data consolidation or distribution configurations; it could be used to help to consolidate the marketing data. Services for Network File System will support the needs of the users of the UNIX application in the production team. File Server Resource Manager will enable you to manage storage more effectively at the branch, including managing quotas, implementing file screens to prevent storage of media files, and producing reports for department heads for charging purposes. 2. Which folder structure do you envisage to support the needs of the branch offices? Answer: Answers will vary, but may include a folder structure as shown below.

Lab Answer Key: Planning File and Print Services

Branch Offices File and Print Service Deployment Plan

3. Which folder permissions do you envisage configuring on these folders? Answer: Answers may vary, depending upon the folder structure planned. However, the general principles are: Grant Modify NTFS permissions for a departmental security group on each departmental data folder. Grant Full Control NTFS permissions for each user on their own home folder. 4. Which shared folders will be required for the branch offices? Answer: Answers may vary, depending upon the folder structure planned. However, a suggested solution is: Share each departmental folder as a separate share. For example, create a shared folder called, Marketing, for the marketing data folder. Create a single shared folder for all users. For example, share User Data. Users can map a network drive through the user account properties to a subfolder on this parent shared folder. 5. Which permissions will you configure on these folders? Answer: The default permissions (Everyone Allow Read) are inappropriate. Remove this entry and then grant Authenticated users Full Control. This results in the NTFS file system permissions determining the effective permissions through the share. 6. What must you consider when planning to migrate files from the Windows 2000 Server? Answer: A legacy server cannot be migrated by using the migration wizard and you must use FSMT to migrate the data. 7. How will you meet the needs of department heads to determine storage usage? Answer: Implement quotas and use reports to determine usage. 8. How will you restrict file types that can be stored on the new server? Answer: Implement a file screen that prevents the storage of media file types.

Read the email message and the Branch Office Network Access Plan document in the main module document under Exercise 1.

Task 2: Update the proposal document with your planned course of action.
Answer the questions in the Branch Office Network Access Plan document. Branch Office Network Access Plan Document Reference Number: CW0611/1 Document Author Date Charlotte Weiss 6th November

Requirements Overview Plan a remote network access solution for Research department users based in branch offices. Proposals 1. What remote access solutions would you consider to support the branch offices users? Answer: A VPN solution would address the requirement of allowing users to connect to all their usual servers and resources. DirectAccess is not applicable because there is no IPv6 infrastructure available in the branches or the head office at present. 2. What network access technologies are suggested by the fact that some users access the Contoso network resources from public access points and from their own computers at home? Answer: Users home computers are unmanaged devices. Connecting laptops through public access points poses a security risk if the laptops do not have appropriate security measures in place, such as a host-based firewall, anti-malware software, and recent security patches and updates. Consequently, implementing NAP would help mitigate these risks. 3. Dylan is concerned about the security of data in transit. What could you do to alleviate his legitimate concerns? Answer: Implement strong encryption and a rigorous authentication protocol for the VPN. For example, implement MS-CHAP v2 or EAP with strongest encryption. 4. How would you propose to allocate IP configurations to remote access clients? Answer: The Routing and Remote Access role service supports either a static pool for IP address configuration or a DHCP server configuration. To be conformant with the Contoso policy, DHCP should be selected. 5. What is your remote network access solution? Provide details including server roles required to support the configuration. Answer: Answers might vary slightly, but the solution should include: Deploying the Network Policy and Access Services role on NYC-EDGE1 to support Routing

Lab: Planning and Implementing Data Access


Exercise 1: Planning Data Access
Task 1: Read the supporting documentation.
Read the email message and the Data Access Plan document in the main module document under Exercise 1.

Task 2: Update the proposal document with your planned course of action.
Answer the questions in the Data Access Plan document. Data Access Plan Document Reference Number:CW0112/1 Document Author Date Charlotte Weiss 1st December

Requirements Overview To plan a suitable data access plan for the branch offices. Proposals 1. What server role will you implement to support the requirement for automated data collection from the branch offices? Answer: DFS. 2. What data access scenario would you recommend? Answer: Data collection. DFS technologies can collect files from a branch office and replicate them to a hub site, allowing the files to be used for several specific purposes. Critical data can be replicated to a hub site by using DFS-R and then backed up at the hub site by using standard backup procedures. 3. What technology would you implement to support the slow link requirement? Answer: BranchCache. 4. How will you ensure that the client-side settings for this technology apply only to relevant computers?

Answer: Configure a GPO with the required settings and then link it to a suitable AD DS container, such as an OU. 5. There is a local server installed at each branch office. How would you configure the branch data access technology to support this? Answer: BranchCache with hosted cache; this mode operates by deploying a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 as a host in the branch office. 6. To support the database applications, what type of storage would you recommend? Answer: If the majority of documents that users must access are file-based, NAS solutions provide the most effective and low-cost networked storage solution. On the other hand, if

Lab: Multi-Site WSUS Deployment


Exercise 1: Analyze WSUS Deployment Plan
Task 1: Read the Contoso WSUS Deployment Plan document.
1. Read the Contoso WSUS deployment document. Contoso WSUS Server Deployment Plan Document Reference Number: GW1203/1 Document Author Date HazemAbolrous 26th January

Requirements Overview 1. Contoso, Ltd in Australia wants to reduce the number of operating system updates that are downloaded from the Microsoft Update servers on the Internet to reduce the costs associated with the utilization of bandwidth. Contoso, Ltd has an agreement with its Internet Service Provider that substantially discounts the cost of traffic transmitted across WAN links when compared with the cost of downloading data directly from locations on the Internet such as Microsoft Update. All branch offices have connections to the Internet as well as dedicated WAN connections. The amount of data transmitted across WAN links should be minimized. Only one WSUS server should be deployed at each site. Administrators in the Melbourne site are responsible for approving updates to computers in the Perth, Adelaide, and Hobart sites. Administrators in the Sydney site are responsible for approving updates to computers in the Sydney site. The cost of transmitting data across the Melbourne to Perth link is equivalent to the cost of downloading data from locations on the Internet such as Microsoft Update.

3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Task 2: Update the Visio diagram, placing WSUS servers at each site.
1. 2. Open the Visio diagram that represents the Contoso Australia WSUS server. The Visio file is located on NYC-CL1 in the D:\Labfiles\Mod09 folder. Copy items representing each WSUS server type to each site. You may need to use the same item in more than one location.

Task 3: Discuss your WSUS configuration plan.


1. Discuss your solutions with the class including the impact that WSUS configuration decisions, such as whether updates are downloaded before approval, will make on upstream and downstream servers. Consider the following answers to the questions posed in the student handbook: You would use BranchCache at the Hobart site if all computers at the site were running the Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 Enterprise, and Windows 7 Ultimate edition operating systems. If clients were running Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2008 operating

Lab Answer Key: Planning Update Deployment

systems, BranchCache would be inappropriate because these clients would be unable to take advantage of the technology. You would place two WSUS servers at the Melbourne site because all the other sites except Perth are likely to use the WSUS server at the Melbourne site as a source of updates. You would apply group policies at the site level to assign computers in each site to the local WSUS server.

Results: In this exercise, you planned a suitable WSUS deployment configuration for Contoso.

Task 2: Update the proposal document with your planned course of action.
Answer the questions in the High Availability Plan document. High Availability Plan Document Reference Number:CW01312/1 Document Author Date Charlotte Weiss 13th December

Requirements Overview To provide a high-availability solution that ensures that the failure of any single component will not cause the Research database to become unavailable. Proposals 1. In the current system, which component(s) is a point of failure? Answer: The back-end database; the front-end web servers; the storage that hosts the database; and the supply of power to all systems. 2. For each component, how will you propose to prevent a system failure resulting from a component failure? Answer: The back-end database. Implement Failover Clustering; this is required because the database is statefulthat is, it contains data that changes, and each client computers view of the system is different at a point in time. The front-end web servers. Implement Network Load Balancing; the front end is stateless, and contains no changing data. Client computers are indifferent as to which web server they connect through. The storage that hosts the database. Consider implementing a RAID solution for the storage that hosts the database. The supply of power to all systems. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) does provide some uptime during a power failure, and often enough time to properly shut down a database to avoid corruption. 3. Which Windows Server 2008 role or feature can help provide for each of these proposals? Answer: Windows Server 2008 provides the Network Load Balancing and Failover Clustering features. Although disk fault tolerance can be provided through the software, it is usually more appropriate to implement a fault-tolerant array through hardware. 4. After implementing the roles or features proposed, is there any remaining component that

Lab Answer Key: Planning High Availability

High Availability Plan represents a single point of failure? Answer: Loss or unavailability of a data center. 5. Have you any recommendations regarding this component(s)? Answer: Ed Meadows mentioned that the database is to be replicated among the branches. This will provide a contingency in the event of link-failure.

Task 3: Compare your solution to the one provided in the Lab Answer Key.

Lab Answer Key: Planning Performance and Event Monitoring

Lab: Planning and Implementing Event Log Management


Exercise 1: Planning Enterprise Event Log Management
Task 1: Answer the planning questions.
1. How will you facilitate the central collection of events from the application test servers? Answer: Events should be centrally collected by using event subscriptions. 2. Where will you collect the events from the application test servers, what event subscription type will you use, and how will you determine which events to collect?

Answer: Because of the transient nature of the application test servers, NYC-DC1 should be used to collect the events. A single collector initiated subscription on NYC-DC1 specifying the source application test servers would work best in this case as application servers can be added or removed from the list of computers on the subscription as they are moved into an out of the environment. Because the installers for the applications are all MSI-based, you can use the MsiInstaller source to catch all events that are logged by the installers. 3. How will you provide a list of only the installation-related events on each of the local application test servers?

Answer: On the local application servers, a custom view can be created to display only the MsiInstaller events. 4. How can you effectively implement these lists on all servers, including those that will be added later?

Answer: After a custom view for the MsiInstaller source has been created, it can be exported, stored in a network location, and then imported on each additional application test server that is introduced to the environment. 5. How will you implement the notification system specified in the scenario?

Answer: Using Task Scheduler, a task can be created to run whenever an MsiInstaller event is logged in the Forwarded Events log. This task should create a pop-up notification on the application server that the event has occurred. Results: After completing this exercise, you should have planned enterprise log management.

Contoso Disaster Recovery plan Document Reference Number: GW1203/2 Document Author Date Kim Akers 1st April

Proposals Contoso has asked you to accomplish the following objectives in developing a disaster recovery plan.

1.

What steps should you propose to meet the objective of being able to recover up to 7 days of data on each server? It will be necessary to have a local backup storage device attached to each server. A USB 3.0 device provisioned with appropriate storage attached to each server would accomplish this goal.

2.

What steps could you take to back up the virtual machines by using Windows Server Backup? Answers will vary, but you could create virtual volumes on each virtual machine, storing the VHD files these volumes on the backup storage device. Backups could be written to these virtual disks.

3.

What steps should you propose to meet the objective of ensuring that any branch office site can be recovered in the event of full site loss?

Lab Answer Key: Enterprise Backup and Recovery

Contoso Disaster Recovery plan Backup data must be moved once a week to the DR site to ensure that data is available in the event that the site itself is lost. Once a week, it will be necessary to copy the contents of the backup storage devices to an additional device, such as another disk, and transport that device physically to the DR site. 4. What infrastructure would you provision at the Dandenong disaster recovery site to meet disaster recovery objectives? A server running Hyper-V and that has 32 GB or more of RAM will be able to temporarily host all of the servers that are present at any specific site. This will allow servers to be available until replacement hardware can be appropriated. 5. What infrastructure would you provision at the head office site to ensure that you can continue to provide services in the event that a single server fails completely? A server running Hyper-V that has 16 GB or more of RAM will be able to provide service at the head office site in the event that any single server fails completely. 6. What backup schedules would you configure for servers at the head office and branch office sites? Configure backup to occur every 3 hours at the head office site and once a day at the branch office sites.
