Form a group of Three students and inform your lab tutor of the names and student IDs of your group members- Assume that your group is hired by a client company to develop a networked system for their required services as described in the scenario-
Your task in this assignment is to analyse client requirements, design solutions, implement, configure, and troubleshoot implemented solutions, and finally to prepare a system documentation report meeting the client requirements and following a standard industry template- Detailed requirements are provided below:
Question 1- Based on the scenario given below, -i- analyse client requirements, -ii- identify and propose the required servers and server roles -services-, and -iii- provide required configurations for the scenario-
Question 2- Perform the configurations using either virtually or physically installed server OS to realise the scenario- Students can use Windows Server 2016 or a higher version, or Linux server if appropriate- Your submission should include screenshots of each important step-
Question 3- Prepare a detailed system documentation report- This report will serve as an important part of backup and disaster recovery documentation- As such, you must consider human usability factors and include the configurations using description of each important step, and screenshots corresponding to those in a way that will be useful to the target users of the document- Essential sections of the documentation are provided in the marking guide, however, you can include additional sections if deemed useful- You should explain how documentation of network changes should be handled and how documentation can aid the troubleshooting process by keeping a record of common issues-
Question 4- Use your configured system to demonstrate individually the implemented scenario during your week-12 lab- Individual understanding will be tested during your demonstration-
