Assessment Study Guide - devinziegler/Devin-Tech-Journal GitHub Wiki

Detailed layout of how I am going to complete the assessment and get a 100 super easy.

Here is a diagram of the network so far:

Worked with Peyton On the Diagram

Configure Firewall:

Firewall configuration can be found here: Virtual Firewall Configuration

Lab Documentation can be found here: Lab Documenation

General Guide:

  • Firewall needs two interfaces
  • WAN and LAN interfaces must match their given hardware addresses
  • Assign IP addresses and subnets to matching interfaces
  • Assign Default Gateway
  • Assign DNS

Configure Windows 10 System:

For now I will set everything manually. Make sure the workstations interface is set to LAN

Windows 10 config:

  • Set Hostname
  • Set IP and Subnet
  • Set default Gateway
  • Set DNS

Configure Windows server:

For now I will configure everything manually like wks. Make sure the servers interface is set to LAN

Windows Server Config:

  • Set Hostname
  • Set IP and Subnet
  • Set Default Gateway
  • Set DNS

Configure Linux:

This is the last system that I need on the network. Make sure interface is set to LAN.

Linux config:

  • Remember to make new user - DONT USE ROOT FOR EVERYTHING

Configure services:

The order of service configuration will go as follows:

  • DNS + ADDS
  • DHCP
  • Group Policy

DNS + ADDS:

Lab Documentation for ADDS can be found here: Lab Documentation.

For condensed general info DSS ADDS Role Tech Journal.

  • Reminder: DHCP can be configured while things are downloading for active directory.
  • DNS is super important, don't forget to add the proper zones. If hostname can't ping it is most likely DNS.
  • Make sure to use the Domain account in active directory NOT the local user.

DHCP:

Lab Documentation for DHCP can be found here: Lab Documentation.

For Condensed general info / troubleshooting, DHCP Tech Journal.

  • If DHCPD service fails when restarting, there is an error with the dhcpd.conf file.
  • Don't forget to allow service through firewall

Group Policy:

Lab Documentation for Group Policy can be found here: Lab Documentation
