Introduction
My name is Francis Onwubuche and I have been in ITT- Tech for 2 years studying Networking Systems Administration.
In small easy to build network, this guide contains several parts, and will guide you through a step by step process. My name is Angelo Stevens and I have been in ITT-Tech for almost 2 years studying the various aspects of network creation, design, and application.
To get started you must select the equipment you will be required to have for your system requirements. You must be sure that the hardware you want contains the appropriate cables, falls within your budget, and meets your needs. Note that you must also have all the software you will require for the amount of systems you intend to use The Network I am building is for 150 users with a 25% upgrade reference of room left for future company expansion.
Remember to leave yourself room to expand your company, this allows you to easily assimilate new members into the fold with very little down time, and it is how most companies today operate.
Hardware
Domain Controller
A computer system dedicated to serve as the server using the installation of the Microsoft Server version 2008 R2, by adding a domain controller to the network it becomes more cost saving for the organization to have the system credentials, users, and groups as well as permission that an active directory domain provides, additionally you are able to set user definitions using the group policy matrix.
