Monday, September 28
= Warm Up: = Lesson:
 * I did not get Wireless Chart turned in for either of you on Hands on day.
 * (See Lesson Below) Hands On Day Follow Up - In Word type an essay describing what you learned (or did for the first time) on the Hands on Day. Make sure to use complete paragraphs. You can get the hand out that you turned in on Friday. I expect this to be at least a 1/2 page. This is a serious assignment and I expect the writing to reflect that.
 * TS3 should have the most thorough report (Hands on Day Follow Up) that includes what was done during hands on day and the experiences you had. Your report should include
 * the installation of Windows
 * what roles and features you installed
 * the settings you modified in order to set up your domain
 * what tools you used and why you used those tools one the domain was set
 * policies you set and their result on the client computer
 * any issues you came across and how you solved those issues
 * In addition to these items, you need to also complete the activity of making a recommendation of at least 3 group policies you would set up and why. This should be done in three paragraphs. Each paragraph should include the name of the setting you would change (where that setting is located in Group Policies), a description of what the setting does and why you think it would be something you would implement on the school network. Make sure that you have applied the setting on your domain and have tested it on the client computer to make sure it does what you think it will do.
 * __**Task 1**__: The students are complaining that almost every day they are getting a prompt about Java having an update. When they try to install the update it says they don't have permission to install the update. When you put in your credentials to install the update it also fails. Look for a solution so the students will no longer see the alert for the Java update. Make sure that your solution also addresses the issue of needing to have Java updated on a regular basis (at least once per month).
 * __**Task 2**__: The Windows 7 AIK was downloaded during Hands on Day by Arianna. This software needs to be placed on the StudentDC01 server in the programs directory under Tech Support. (You will need TempAdmin credentials to copy the file to the server). In order to use this file you will also need to make it available in your domain. You should also place this file on your server so that you can install it on your client workstations.
 * Create a Folder on your server called Client Shares
 * Inside the Client Shares folder create a folder called Programs
 * Share the Programs folder with all Authenticated users with a share name called Programs (make sure that you, the administrator, can add files to this folder from your workstation computer).
 * Copy the file from the flash drive to your Client Windows 7 computer
 * Copy the file from your client computer to the server using the share you created.
 * __**Supplemental**__: Mr. Sellepack's Mac Mini needs to have Windows installed on it. This will be done using a tool on a Mac called Bootcamp. Find out how to run bootcamp and install Windows 7 on this computer.

Homework: = =
 * Complete the vocabulary for lesson 2 and be ready for a quiz
 * Begin on Test Corrections. They are due next Monday.

Wednesday, September 30
Lesson:
 * Soon you will be installing a second server into your domain. That server will be a Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Core. As such there will be no GUI to configure the server. Review the steps we took with the first server and using your book (Lesson 2 - Managing Server Core) explain how you can configure this second server so that is will be part of your domain. Make sure to include both a description of what you want to do and the command you will use. Hint: include the command as it appears in the book or then internet and then the actual command you would use in your situation. Below is some info you will need:
 * Computer Name: RyanDC02 or BradleyDC02
 * IP Address: 172.20.30.2 or 172.20.40.2
 * Gateway: Get from primary server
 * DNS: The IP of your primary server
