Jan and Kim Levering have decided to expand their IT consulting business. They have leased space in a nearby building. The following are the details:
- They will have an entire floor that has the following:
- a receptionist area
- 2 offices (one for Jan and one for Kim)
- a conference room
- an office that will accommodate 15 cubes for their consultants
- a computer room to house their server(s)
- They currently have 8 Windows XP systems set up in a workgroup
They would like you to develop a 2-phased plan. The first phase involves moving from the current office to the new office. In a 4-page report, you need to do the following:
- Diagram the network and identify the topology and components:
- Their existing equipment is as follows:
- 8 XP systems
- 1 each in Jan and Kim’s offices
- 6 systems cubes (1 per cube)
- 1 Windows Server 2008 (standard edition) system in the computer room
- 1 printer in the computer room
- 8 XP systems
- Include the following:
- IP addressing scheme (use static addressing)
- subnetting/supernetting
- subnet mask for phase 1
- Their existing equipment is as follows:
- Provide an installation guide on how to set up the Windows Server 2008 system and the network, including the following:
- illustrations of the server installation process
- a minimum of 8 Windows Server 2008 screenshots, with detailed explanations
- descriptions of the settings for the following:
- server roles
- naming conventions
- disk format (NTFS or FAT)
- joining
- security
- centralized versus decentralized administration
- a discussion of TCP/IP configuration
- a comparison of settings between workgroup and domain
- an explanation of typical installation problems/difficulties related to the following:
- hardware

The second phase, to be completed later, will be to expand their network to accommodate additional equipment.
