Project 2 - Setting Up the Network File System
Description
As the network administrator of a private midwestern college, you are asked
to set up the network file system using the guidelines shown below. Logon script and documentation procedures will also be implemented.
Guidelines
Context and Directories
All Directory operations should be performed on your Windows Server 2019 classroom computer.
Create the following directories:
- D:\PROJECT\SHARED
- D:\PROJECT\SHARED\FACULTY
- D:\PROJECT\SHARED\STAFF
- D:\PROJECT\APPS
- D:\PROJECT\APPS\SS
Copy C:\WINDOWS\WRITE.EXE here and rename to SS.EXE.
- D:\PROJECT\APPS\WP
Copy C:\WINDOWS\WRITE.EXE here and rename to WRITE1.EXE.
Copy C:\WINDOWS\WRITE.EXE here and rename to WRITE2.EXE.
- D:\PROJECT\USERS
Create home directories for each user in this folder.
- D:\PROJECT\SETUP
Setup and documentation file storage for the network administrator
- D:\PROJECT\TEMP
Temporary file storage for the network administrator.
Plan your file system security following the guidelines below:
- Sketch out the directory structure FIRST and show trustee assignments.
- The SHARED directory should be available to all faculty, staff and students.
Students should not be able to change anything in the SHARED directory.
Faculty and Staff should be able to create and delete only their own files and folders.
- SHARED\FACULTY should only be available to faculty to create and delete ALL files
and folders.
- SHARED\STAFF should only be available to staff and the Business Department Chair
to create and delete ALL files and folders.
- All faculty and staff should be able to run the WRITE2.EXE word processor.
- All students should be able to run WRITE1.EXE.
- The council should be able to run both WRITE1.EXE and WRITE2.EXE.
- All faculty, staff and students should be able to run SS.EXE.
- Only the network administrator should have access to SETUP and TEMP.
Implementation
- Implement your file system security plan by assigning permissions
- Create and test a LOGON_P.BAT script to create the following drive mappings.
- Assign drive letter H: to each user home directory.
- Assign drive letter S: to the Shared directory for each user.
- Assign drive letter P: to the Apps folder for each user.
- Using Group Policy Object management for the HC Organizational Unit, implement the logon script.
Testing
- Log on as different users to test your drive mappings and file system security.
- Run WRITE1.EXE and/or WRITE2.EXE and SS.EXE from your APPS directories out to the Windows desktop and try running them as different users.
Documentation
Start a documentation file called PROJECT.TXT (Windows Notepad) in D:\PROJECT\SETUP.
Include your file system security sketch and a copy of your finished LOGON_P.BAT.
Hand In
- Nothing to hand in. Be sure PROJECT.TXT and LOGON_P.BAT are in D:\PROJECT\SETUP.
