Nt1330 Unit 1 Case Study
ANSWER 1
The version of Windows Server 2012r2 that can be recommended for the company is the Datacenter edition because of following reasons:
1. The company’s Marketing Department uses large amount of user database and so the Datacenter edition can support more users (approx. upto 1000 users).
2. The company also uses the databases from other catalogues sales companies and from internet. So therefore they will require large amount of user space which can be provided by Datacenter.
3. The company’s computer also operates very slowly as they are running out of the space. By using Datacenter the company will get more number of users and their computer will also not operate slowly. The server roles and features that would be recommended for the company are as follows:
1. Active Directory Domain Services: It stores directory data and …show more content…
manages communication between users and domain including user logon processes and authentication.
2. Active Directory Certificate Services: It provides encryption for files, mails and network traffic.
3. DHCP server: It is use to assign IP addresses automatically.
4. DNS: It is used for resolving the host name to an IP address.
5. Windows Deployment Services: It enables to deploy windows operating systems. It is use to set up new computers by using a network-based installations.
6. File Services: It provides technologies that help manage storage, perform backup and recovery task, manage shared folders and enable file replication.
7. Web Server (IIS): It allows to share information with users on the internet.
8. Print and Document Services: It enables centralize print server and network printer tasks. It is also use to receive scanned documents from network scanners and route the documents to a shared network resource or email addresses.

I
Windows Deployment Services role will enable the company to do the mass installation quickly and efficiently.

Setting up WDS involves performing the following steps:
1. WDS is install using Add Roles and Features Wizard and then selecting the Windows Deployment Services role.
2. An operating system deployment transmission is prepared on the WDS server.
3. The media access control (MAC) addresses of Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE)-compliant network adapters are made available to the WDS server.
4. The computers that are targets of the transmission boot using their PXE-complaint network adapters.
5. These computers locate the WDS server and begin the operating system setup process. If the WDS server has been provisioned with an answer file, the setup complete automatically. If the WDS server has not been provisioned with an answer file, an administrator must enter setup configuration information.

Yes the capability can be used to install Windows 10 on the 24 new client workstations arriving soon.
WDS enables us to deploy operating systems, including but not limited to Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2010, and Windows Server 2012r2, to computers over the network.
WDS sends these operating system across the network using multicast transmissions, which means that multiple computers receive the same operating system image while minimizing the use of network bandwidth.
When we use multicast transmission, the same amount of traffic crosses the network independently of whether we are deploying Windows Sever to 1 computer or 50.
So, by using WDS capability the IS manager and the Management Team upgrade to Windows Server 2012r2 and it will also enable them to do the mass installation quickly and efficiently.

Advantages of developing Web applications on an application server are:
1. Improved interoperability: Web based applications make it possible to rapidly integrate enterprise systems, and improves work flow.
2. Adaptable to increased workload: The capacity of web based applications can be increased by clustering or running the software on several servers simultaneously. As workload increases, new servers can be added to the system easily.
3. Web applications on application server ensures universal access, as every modern computer, laptop, tablet has a browser.
4. Managing, maintaining, and modifying applications is easier, since only the web application on the server-side needs to be updated.
5. Developing web applications is a low-cost and rapid process with more reusable components.
6. Security: Web applications are typically deployed on dedicated servers, which are monitored and maintained by experienced server
administrators.
7. Easier installation and maintenance: Installation and maintenance becomes less complicated. Once a new version or upgrade is installed on the host server, all users can access it straight away. There is no need to upgrade each client PC.
8. Easily customisable: The user interface of web applications is easier to customise. This makes it easier to update the look and feel of the application, or to customise the presentation of information to different user groups.
