Course Requirements:
The intention of this course is to familiarize the student with Network
Infrastructure with a focus on using Windows 2003 Server to provide these
services. Knowledge will be applied via coursework, labs, and exams. The course
material builds on itself. Missing or not understanding some of the material
may have an effect on what is learned later in the semester. Please notify the
instructor if you are having difficulty understanding the material.
Academic honesty:
Credit for this course is based upon individual achievement and
demonstrated skills. You will be required to demonstrate your ability to
use basic software features covered in the assignments and quizzes; therefore, doing
your OWN work on assignments and quizzes is crucial. All work
submitted should be the product of your own personal efforts unless the
instructor specifically authorizes a group assignment or project.
Discussion of assignments and quizzes is encouraged, but submitting someone
else’s work as your own is not permitted. Gaining answers on projects or
exams through any dishonest method or providing such assistance to others is
cheating and disciplinary action may be taken as stated in the student
handbook.

Classroom etiquette:
Follow classroom lab rules and network usage policies.
Be considerate of your classmates and your instructor
Minimize classroom disturbances
Do not print during lectures. Turn off cell phones/pagers, or set to vibrate mode. If you must enter class late or leave early, do so as quietly as possible. If you are late, wait until the end of class to check with the instructor about attendance. Work quietly on assignments
Do not attempt to get assistance on projects from other students or to gain answers for quiz questions dishonestly. Silence during exam and project class periods is expected.

The
final project consists of building 3 fully functional interconnected networks
in the lab which will demonstrate students knowledge of Windows XP, Windows
2003 Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, WINS, TCP/IP, NAT,
Routing, IIS, and networking concepts. Each student is expected to work on one
server as their portion of the class project and to work with the other
students on making it all work together. Each individual student will receive a
grade for his or her own work as well as a grade for the overall class project –
these grades will be averaged for the student’s final project grade.
The class will be required to diagram and explain the network in a class presentation for a panel of computer professionals before construction of the network begins.
Network 1 will simulate a corporate environment.
It will contain one internal server that will act as an Active Directory domain controller – it requires Active Directory, DNS, and WINS. AD must contain at least 3 unique security groups in their own OUs representing different aspects of a corporate environment. Each group must contain at least 2 users in their respective OU. Each OU must contain at least 1 non-default group policy object. Students will also be required to create a second server to be used as a web server and provide NAT (w/ DHCP) between internal clients and the outside network. One Windows XP Professional client will be required as a domain client.
Network 2 will simulate a home user.
It will contain one Windows 2003 server that will represent ISP services by providing DHCP and DNS and host a single website. One Windows XP client (Professional or Home) will be required to get its DHCP and DNS from the server.
Network 3 will simulate a web server on the internet.
It will be required to host at least 2 websites using IIS.
Other information:
Each DNS server on all 3 subnets will be required to contain A, CNAME, and MX records for all of the web servers on all of the networks. A core router will be provided by the instructor to route traffic between each of the networks. All Servers and XP Clients must be able to connect to all of the websites on all 3 networks. This project is subject to change during the semester.
Optional Final Exam:
A student may choose to take the comprehensive final exam during the finals period which will replace one of the student’s semester exams in their average.
