Windows Network Proposal:
Project description:
Create a detailed, organized, unified technical solution given the scenario described below with a least one diagram.
Scenario:
Worldwide Advertising, Inc. (referred to as “WAI”) has hired you as an IT consultant for their Windows network services infrastructure. WAI is a new advertising firm, and they have hired staff, are established in two locations, and have a need to get their internal IT services configured. They have an IT staff, but they do not have the in-house expertise to address their current infrastructure needs.
You are required to supply WAI with a solution which addresses the integration and configuration of their Active Directory updates. Cost is not a significant concern
– WAI wishes to implement the “right” solution to address their acquisition of a new company and its Active Directory forest which is comprised of a single domain.
More specifically, WAI is based out of Houston, TX and they have a Windows Server 2012 domain that is operating at the Windows Server 2012 functional level.
They recently acquired Media Guru Group which is based out of Richmond, VA, which has a domain (running Windows Server 2008 domain controllers) operating at the Windows Server 2003 functional level.
There are several details about WAI which will have an impact on your proposal:
WAI has restructured their organization they have a total of 110 employees in their Houston and Richmond sites. Each location the following departments:
WAI will have two sites, one in Houston, TX, and one in Richmond, VA.
Executives (9 total with 5 in Houston, 4 in Richmond) – manage and run the company
Accounts and Sales Department (30 employees with 15 in Houston and 15 in Richmond) – perform market research and maintain accounts Creative, Media and Production Department (49 employees in Houston) – advertising
Human Resources and Finances (12 employees in Houston) – perform HR and financial duties
IT (10 employees with 5 in Houston and 5 in Richmond) – manage IT for the company
Networking equipment is already in place for both sites, which are separate Active Directory Domains.
Security mechanisms (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection) will be handled separately, and there is no need to describe them.
Some departments will want their data to remain private from other departments (e.g., Finances personnel will not want Production staff to see the company’s financial details). Your team may make assumptions about how data should be shared or kept private.
Assumptions can be made regarding any information not included here; all assumptions should be identified, however. At least one diagram must be included (not counted towards the minimum length described above); this could be a diagram describing Active Directory components, DHCP/DNS design, or anything else that is worth displaying graphically to enhance the reader’s understanding of the proposal.
Answer the following the questions regarding the model discussed in class in which a landlord and farmer could operate under 3 possible arrangements: fixed rent, fixed wage, or the Manorial System (shared inputs). Under a fixed rent contract: who bears the risks of a bad crop and reaps the benefits of a bumper crop?
Characterize the incentive of a farmer to exert effort while working the fields. Under a fixed wage contract: who bears the risks of a bad crop and reaps the benefits of a bumper crop? Characterize the incentive of a farmer to exert effort while working the fields. Under a Manorial System: who bears the risks of a bad crop and reaps the benefits of a bumper crop? Characterize the incentive of a farmer to exert effort while working the fields.
How specifically were manorial lands allocated between the lord and serfs? What are the predominate explanations for this peculiar system of land distribution?
Evalute these explanations.
Explain (preferably using a graph) why the number of manors grew as the population increased in medieval Europe. What happened to wages and the prices of food and land? (Again, a graphical analysis is helpful) Why did the population increase lead to the beginning of the end of the manorial system?
Do you believe the charactersitics listed above are defining features of masculinity?
