Over to You!
You’ve recently started working as a technician at Gift Ltd. Your new employer approaches you one Monday morning and says, “Look, I want you to spend as little time as possible configuring computers on the network, okay? We need efficiency!”
They add, “And I’m fed up with typing http://192.168.1.123 to access our intranet!”
It seems as though your predecessor might not have gotten on so well with your boss—they didn’t leave you much to go on. So all you have is a few notes:
Addressing plan: 172.16.1.0/26.
Internet Service Provider router: 172.16.1.62.
Intranet IP: 192.168.1.123.
The number of client computers: 20.
Choose the correct edition of Windows Server for your company and install this operating system on a virtual machine.
Name your server and configure it within the company’s network. Configure your server with the last IP address available from this subnet, and suggest 20 addresses for client computers at the start of the range with the appropriate service.
Once you finish, configure your server so that you can access the intranet.
Next, create the following files:
A 2-3 slide presentation describing how your server operates.
An Installation documentation covering your approach to configuration and presenting a rationale for your technical choices as part of an introduction.
Check Your Work
Make sure you understand the documentation choices and that you can present how it works to your manager using the slides.
To make sure you’ve done what was asked of you correctly, run the following checks:
Using the presentation, you can easily inform your manager about changes without wasting any time (straight to the point).
The documentation clearly explains what you did and is coherent and complete.
