Quastion 1: Why did network map fail to appear? Since computer is a member of domain controller.

The default settings of Group Policy on domain controller contoso.com are set to prevent drawing a full network map for workstations. Quastion 2: Could the current state of the advanced sharing settings be the reason why the network map fails to appear? No.

Quastion 3: Why does the RWDC01 computer not appear on the Network Map display? Because it is not set up to be on the same network. Quastion 4: How did the computer obtain these settings? How can you determine this? DHCP server is available on the Network. ipconfig /all showed DHCP server. Quastion 5: What is the result of this command? ipconfig/release command reset IP configuration settings to 0.0.0.0 Quastion 6: Which of the parameters in the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties sheet would you have to omit for your computer to be

unable to resolve a computer name into its IP address? DNS parameters. Since DNS is responsible for resolving computer name into IP address.

Quastion 7: How does the ipconfig display differ from the first time you ran the ipconfig /all command? DHCP is now set to No. And there is no DHCP Server Ip address entry. Quastion 8: What is the result? Ping utility successfully examined loopback address 127.0.0.1 Quastion 9: What does this result prove about the computer's network connectivity? This proves that TCP/IP protocol is enabled and working properly. Quastion 10: What would be the result if you unplugged your computer's network cable before executing the ping 127.0.0.1 command. The result will be the same. Since 127.0.0.1 is a loopback address and is refered to itself. This procedure is usually used to test if computer can communicate on the network and that TCP/IP protocol is enabled and working correctly. Quastion 11: What is the result of the ping test, and what does it prove? Ping test successfully reached RWDC01 server. This proves that this computer

can comunicate on the network. This also proves that DNS server is working correctly. Quastion 12: What is the IP address of RWDC01? 10.10.0.2 Quastion 13: How was the computer able to resolve the name RWDC01 into its IP address? DNS server is configured on RWDC01 and contains entry that RWDC01 is 10.10.0.2 Quastion 14: What was the result of the test, and what does the result prove? Success. This proves that both computers can communicate on the network. Quastion 15: What was the result of the test, and what does the result prove? Success. This proves that both computers can communicate on the network. Quastion 16: Was it necessary to perform this last test? Why or why not? Yes, the test was necessary to perform to make sure computers can still communicate with each other when statically assigned with IP addresses.
