Unit 1 Assignment 1
As the number of computers in a company network grows, so does the administrative overhead involved in maintaining the computer network. DNS and DHCP can keep the overhead to a background task.
By using DNS and DHCP in concert, a site can happily grow to hundreds or thousands of nodes servers, desktop systems, laptops, printers, whatever, with minimal network/systems administrator effort. Both DNS and DHCP are essential tools in the network administrator's toolkit for managing all the IP devices on a corporate network.
DNS and DHCP can make a system administrator's life simpler and easier. Fortunately, the protocols are so flexible that they can be implemented either together or separately depending on the size and configuration of your enterprise network.

    CSN2 Unit 2 Exercise 1 DNS Scenario

    Thank you for contacting me regarding your questions, and that you trust I will do my best to assist you with your issue. From what I understand, you work at two branch offices, and have been given the responsibility of discovering where to place an Active-Directory Integrated (ADI) Domain Name System (DNS) server. You also have some questions on what type of DNS server would best meet your company’s needs. First let’s begin with the smaller branch supporting five users and or workstations, with an unusually slow network. The question with such a small branch isn’t really about what kind of DNS server you need, but if you actually need a DNS server at all. If there is a very high level of file and or data sharing, then yes perhaps you could benefit from a server, but configured in a secondary zone, such as an ADI there is not enough file and or data sharing to really warrant the presence of the server. An ADI server could potentially slow down an already sluggish system.…

    Yes, it is worth setting up DHCP for two, five, or even twenty five computers as long as the computer has a newer operating system to support it. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is an important protocol that lets network administrators manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP configurations on a computer network. The way DHCP works is that the DHCP server receives the request, assigns a new address for a specific time period and sends it to the client. I think setting up DHCP for your computers is worth doing because it has its advantages over manual configuration. These advantages include that each computer gets its configuration from a "pool" of available numbers automatically for a specific time period meaning no wasted numbers. Domain Name System (DNS) A hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most prominently, it translates easily memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of locating computer services and devices worldwide.…

    For two computers it’s not worth setting up a DHCP because when the two computers want to access the Internet, they will be provided the first available IP address. If you have five computers it would be a great idea to setup a DHCP because with setting up a DHCP you could set permissions which monitors what the other computers could access the Internet for, how long they could be logged in using the Internet and their activities. Now, if there were twenty-five computers it would be perfect to have a DHCP because each computer will have its own IP Address and the IP address would never expire. Also, with a DHCP you could get permission in what any users is able to do in their specific accounts between the network computer and you are able to monitor the daily activities of each…

    For a small branch office with 5 users and a slow link, you might be able to get away without a local DC/DNS server as long as users aren’t dependent on the ability to authenticate against the domain. Non-domain DNS servers are available to service queries in the event your site link goes down. Some DNS-enabled routers can selectively forward requests for select domains to specific DNS servers. This method eliminates the delay of failing over from a primary to secondary DNS servers per client. Maybe A READ ONLY DOMAIN CONTROLLER…

    Unit 3 Exercise 1 Company Merger Scenario

    AD relies on DNS to provide the locator service for clients on the network. This locator service provides direction for clients that need to know which server performs what function. In many cases, organizations will rely on the built-in DNS server role within Windows Server 2008 to provide the DNS name resolution for AD. Assuming the company may already have a third-party DNS service in place. You need to know that the DNS server can support SRV records. SRV records are the locator records within DNS that allow clients to locate and AD domain controller or global catalog. W/o the ability to resolve SRV records, clients will be unable to authenticate against AD. This will also let the dynamic updates keep the database current. Functional levels that will allow enterprises to migrate their AD domain controllers gradually, based on need and desire for the new functionality of the company. You can change the functional level for a single domain without requiring other domains to make the same change. This allows rolling upgrades. Another thing to do will be raising the functional levels with this Windows Server 2008, since no backward compatibility. Only Windows Server 2008 domain controllers are supported. Another thing to consider is the AD trust relationships to allow access between multiple domains and/or forests, either within a single forest or across multiple enterprise networks. This will allow the administrators from the one company to the merger one, domain to grant access to their domain’s resources to…

    static ip addressing

    The company that I am working for has been expanding and thusly has more equipment and personnel. We traditionally use static IP addressing but this is no longer sufficient. It is now time that we start using DHCP due to the fact that this will allow better functionality through the automatic addressing and leasing of IP addresses. More benefits of using DHCP are the massive amount of IP addresses that are available in DHCP and the fact that DHCP will automatically recall an IP address once the lease is up unless it is renewed. The difference in the amount of work required by network administrators is tremendous. Static IP addresses require network administrators to sit and recall or have a list of every single IP address that they have used for every computer in order to communicate back and forth for trouble shooting reasons as to where a DHCP will have that list already for you and you can even have a DNS so that way you will not have to have a list of IP addresses in order to understand which computer is where or to trouble shoot why a computer is having difficulty connecting to the network. Another big difference between the two is the how easy it is to use the command prompt in order to trouble shoot the DHCP server and from there be able to find where possible issues occur as to where static IP addresses are harder to trouble shoot and slow down the data transfer rate between systems. Another Advantage of DHCP is that network administrators can setup security protocols inside of The DHCP server in order to keep the system safer. A great example of this is one straight form our text books of how we can set up protocols to check for virus protection on computer systems so as to keep personal computers with potential viruses isolated from the rest of our network saving a lot of money, time, effort, personnel information, possible company secrets, and/or client secrets. In conclusion it is obvious that investing in a DHCP server is paramount to a growing…
