 INFORMATION SHEET 1.1

NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM

The term network operating system is used to refer to two rather different
concepts:

 A specialized operating system for a network device such as a router,

switch or firewall.

 An operating system oriented to computer networking, to allow shared

file and printer access among multiple computers in a network, to enable
the sharing of data, users, groups, security, applications, and other
networking functions. Typically over a local area network (LAN), or
private network. This sense is now largely historical, as common
operating systems generally now have such features included.

TYPES OF NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM

1. Peer-to-peer network
In a peer-to-peer network operating system users are allowed to share resources and files located on thei

The advantages include:

 Ease of setup
 Less hardware needed, no server need be acquired
The disadvantages include:

No central location for storage


 Less security than the client–server model
2. Client/Server Network
Network operating systems can be based on a client–server
model (architecture) in which a server enables multiple clients to share
Date: Module: Setting-up Computer Server Page
Version 7
resources. Client-server network operating systems allow networks to
centralize functions and applications in one or more dedicated file servers. The
server is the center of the system, allowing access to resources and instituting
security.

The advantages include:

 Centralized servers are more stable.

 Security is provided through the server.
 New technology and hardware can be easily integrated into the system.
 Hardware and the operating system can be specialized, with a focus on
performance.
 Servers are able to be accessed remotely from different locations and
types of systems.
The disadvantages include:

 Buying and running a server raises costs.

 Dependence on a central location for operation.
 Requires regular maintenance and updates.

Managing Domain User Accounts

The next part is dedicated to helping you plan, manage, and administer
user accounts in a secure and efficient manner. Microsoft Windows operating
systems have come a long way since the early days of Windows Server and you
have many options for managing users in Windows Server.

Types of Users

It is a good idea to have a solid grasp of fundamental concepts that

underpin the managing of users. In the first part of the tutorial, describe the
types of users Microsoft Windows Server defines.

User: In Windows Server 2008, you can have local user accounts or
domain user accounts. On a domain controller, local users and groups are
disabled. In Active Directory, the domain user account contains user name,
password, the groups of which the user is a member, and other descriptive
information, such as address and phone numbers, as well as many other user
descriptions and attributes, such as security and remote control
configurations.

Network Testing Tools

What is network testing?

Network testing is a process that is used to quantitatively or qualitatively

measure the performance of an IT infrastructure. It is a primitive level of fault
identification that does not require tons of historical data.

What are network testing tools?

Network testing tools are a collection of tools that aid in measuring the
performance of various aspects of a network. These tools range from ping,
SNMP ping, traceroute to WMI query tool and more. Network testing tools help
network admins make quick and informed decisions.

Why are network testing tools important?

The elemental purpose of a network is to share resources efficiently. It is

crucial to establish periodic network testing with reliable network testing tools
to:

1. Understand the network's state

2. Ensure the configuration changes work as expected
3. Detect crippling network attacks
4. Provide a top-notch end-user experience

Dynamic Host Connection Protocol (DHCP)

What is DHCP?

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client/server protocol

that automatically provides an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address
and other related configuration information such as the subnet mask and
default gateway.

Why use DHCP?

Every device on a TCP/IP-based network must have a unique unicast IP

address to access the network and its resources. Without DHCP, IP addresses
for new computers or computers that are moved from one subnet to another
must be configured manually; IP addresses for computers that are removed
from the network must be manually reclaimed.

With DHCP, this entire process is automated and managed centrally. The
DHCP server maintains a pool of IP addresses and leases an address to any
DHCP-enabled client when it starts up on the network. Because the IP
addresses are dynamic (leased) rather than static (permanently assigned),
addresses no longer in use are automatically returned to the pool for
reallocation.

The network administrator establishes DHCP servers that maintain TCP/IP

configuration information and provide address configuration to DHCP-enabled
clients in the form of a lease offer. The DHCP server stores the configuration
information in a database that includes:

 Valid TCP/IP configuration parameters for all clients on the network.

 Valid IP addresses, maintained in a pool for assignment to clients, as

well as excluded addresses.

 Reserved IP addresses associated with particular DHCP clients. This

allows consistent assignment of a single IP address to a single DHCP
client.

 The lease duration, or the length of time for which the IP address can be
used before a lease renewal is required.

Simple Step : Configure Folder Redirection in
Window Server 2012 R2
Source: https://mizitechinfo.wordpress.com

As a Server Admin, you can use GPOs to deploy scripts to users and
computers.

You also can redirect folders that are included in the user’s profile to a
File Server. These features enable you to configure the users’ desktop settings
more easily and, where desirable, to create a standardized desktop
environment that meets your organization’s needs.

So, what is Folder Redirection?

You can use the Folder Redirection to manage data effectively and, if you
choose, to back up data.

By redirecting folders, you can ensure user access to data regardless of

the computers from which a user logs in.

So let’s go through a simple step on how to configure Folder Redirection…

1 – 1st, make sure that you have share folder for this step, for this demo, i had
my shared folder created previously (MCT Docs – OSI Branch 01)…
2 – Next, we need to create a new GPO and link it to the IT OU (you can use
any OU you prefer)…

– On the Group Policy Management console, right click your OU

(Organizational Unit) and then click Create a GPO in this domain and Link it
here…

3 – In the Name box, type Folder Redirection, and then click OK…

4 – Next, expand IT OU, right-click Folder Redirection, and then click Edit…
5 – In the Group Policy Management Editor, under User Configuration, expand
Policies, expand
Windows Settings, and then expand Folder Redirection…

– Next, right-click Documents, and then click Properties…

6 – In the Document Properties dialog box, on the Target tab, next to Setting,
click the drop-down
arrow, and then select Basic – Redirect everyone’s folder to the same location…

– Ensure the Target folder location box is set to Create a folder for each user
under the root path…
– In the Root Path box, type \\dc01\MCT Docs – OSI Branch 01, and then
click OK…

7 – In the Warning dialog box, click Yes…

8 – Next, lets try test the folder redirection settings, switch to your client PC
and log in as any of your domain user, right-click the desktop, and then click
Personalize…
9 – In the navigation pane, click Change desktop icons…

10 – In Desktop Icon Settings, select the User’s Files check box, and then click
OK…
11 – On the desktop, double-click Steve Winfield folder…

– Right-click Documents, and then click Properties…

12 – In the Document Properties dialog box, verify that the location of the
folder is now the network
share in a subfolder named for the user…
OK, that’s it for now..
