SYS255 Lab 5 - Robertsegee/TechJournals GitHub Wiki

9/29/20 Lab 5 ADDS: In this lab we once again visit the active directory however this time we are messing with group policy and how we can use those policies. To set up a group policy we first need to establish some OUs in the Active Directory Users and Computers. Once the OUs are set up set up accounts for the accounts OU. Then drag the workstation from the domain.local computers folder to the new OU folder. Within the groups OU folder create a new global security group and add the designated members. Then go to Group Policy Management which is located in tools in the upper right of active directory application. Select the parent OU for the other OUs and create a GPO. You can then right click it and edit who this is applied to via the security filtering section. Then right click the policy and edit it. Depending on the policy go to the designated section and make the change needed. If it is a user setting then just re log on to the account but if it is a computer setting then re boot the system. Once logged on the setting should be applied, this can be checked with the gpresult /r command in Windows PowerShell.

My plan to study for the assessment is to divide it up into sections:

• Configure Firewall: I plan to go through the first lab where we messed with pfsense and practice going through the steps without instructions and mess with different settings on the console.
• For Domain Controller I am going to also practice navigation the Active Directory along with creating domains and configurations to the ad01/wks01 so that DNS can be managed. Along with also looking more into lookupzones, PTR, and A/AAAA.
• For DHCP server I am going to practice with setting up the network settings and remote access to the dhcp server. Along with also practicing commands illustrated in the lab.
• For joining a workstation to the domain and network via DHCP I am going to practice connecting the workstation to the domain along with navigating the linux folders and files. Also practicing how to use text editors in powershell.
