You have been hired as a consultant for a new company with 35 users. You have determined they should use Windows Server 2019 with Windows 10 clients. One of the servers will provide centralized authentication and use Group Policy. Which of the following is a crucial question that you must answer before you can install these features on this server? a. What file sharing protocol should be used? b. What domain name should you use? c. What folders need to be shared? d. What CPU are the client computers using?

Joe's Brokerage House currently has 25 standalone computers and five laser printers distributed evenly across two floors of a building. A print-sharing device enables users to share the laser printers, but the computers don't connect to each other. Because of good profits, the network administrator plans expansion and upgrades. The company founder, Joe, thinks that all the computers should be able to communicate but doesn't want to spend a lot of money. He does, however, want an easily expandable network design. Wiring closets are available on both floors and have conduit between them. The computers must share sensitive data yet control access to files. Aside from new brokerage software, which runs on the server, the computers will run standard word-processing and spreadsheet programs. Based on the above scenario, answer the following questions: 1. Will the network be peer-to-peer or server-based? Justify your answer. [2] 2. If it's server-based, how many servers will be attached to the network? Justify your answer. [2] 3. Give the protocol suite that would be appropriate for the network. [2] 4. Determine the best network topology or topology combination for the company. [6] 5. Give a sketch of the network design you think best suits Joe's needs.

Exercise 1-2. As the IT administrator for a small organization with 60 Windows clients, you are tasked with introducing a new server running Windows Server 2019. This new server should provide single sign-on for the users in your network, as well as host a third-party app that stores its data within a Microsoft SQL Server database. What considerations must you keep in mind when planning the requirements of this new Windows Server 2019 system from a software and hardware point of view? Create a one-page memo that lists these considerations.
You are the Cybersecurity Analyst for a mid-size retail company. Your company has just acquired a rival company and has discovered that its security practices are deficient and need to be updated to be compliant with your company's standards. The acquisition's primary network uses Microsoft Active Directory with Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 on the desktops. In addition, the point of sale (POS) system is on its own network and consists of four Linux servers with Oracle 11g databases running on top of them. There is a plan to merge the two networks, but they do not want to proceed until they are sure that all systems have been sufficiently hardened. Management has asked you to supply hardening recommendations only for the following systems: - Windows Server 2019 - Domain Controllers - Web servers (Intranet mainly) - Oracle Linux (POS Servers) - Windows 10 - Users using the POS software - Users not using the POS software The domain controllers and POS servers need extra security, as do the Windows 10 machines running the POS software, so use Level 2 controls for them. Use Level 1 controls for the rest. Using the CIS Controls and Benchmarks, craft a basic hardening guide for all five groups of systems. The benchmark documentation for these systems is extensive, so just pick a few that you feel would be important enough to include in your recommendations.
