Tonight – Finishing off workshop
Unit 27 NOS Assignment 2 - Task 2 – Implementation of your NOS design.
Virtual Box is installed on these PC’s and I have pre-installed images for Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10. Or use the lab. Practical help docs on website.
Screenshot and document the implementation process
Test that the network works correctly using a test plan.
Unit 27 NOS Assignment 2 - Task 3
Test performance and security of the network. Could add on to test plan.
After testing explain any improvements you’ve made
Create a user guide for the network and it’s various features
Create an evaluation which include an analysis and recommendations of improvements

2. Unit 27 NOS Assignment 2: Task 2– Guide
2.1 Implement network taking screenshots. Document and explain this process. Elements should include a minimum of user accounts and group policy to set user access levels. Use and follow your design document.
2.2 – 2.3 Testing the NOS Functionality
Create a table like below. Include everything you have installed or configured on Windows Server. Include tests at the client end to check services and features have been set up correctly. Screenshot’s ideally should be used as evidence.

3. Unit 27 NOS Assignment 2: Task 3 – Guide
3.1 - You need to establish and justify a performance baseline and monitor the performance of the network against this baseline. (U27 4.1, 4.2)
Essentially testing your networks performance. Test initial boot up times, login time, network transfer speeds(Lan speed test), internet access download and upload speeds(speedtest.net), backup times, virus and malware detection, disc space and usage speeds, firewall(Including internet filtering) etc. Then test average speeds when under heavy load over a period of time. A table such as above could be used. Use the checklist on my website to check security elements have been implemented. Check security configurations. Log changes and improvements that you make.
3.2 – Justify the performance optimisation and update to the NOS. (U27 4.3)
Based on 3.1 explain the improvements you have made to the network, justifying any expense or changes with evidence when possible.
3.3 – Manage the network security solution applied. (U46 4.1)
Explain the security software or hardware you have installed (e.g. anti-virus, firewall, physical security.). How do you use them to manage the network? Create documentation which would show the network manager how to use the security features you have implemented. Include username, passwords, IP addresses and a user guide on configuring software and devices.
3.4 – Analyse (U46 4.2)
Think about the strengths and weakness of the network and its creation. Could be merged with 3.5 to include improvements.
3.5 – Recommend potential changes that you could make to the security. (U46 4.3)
