Lab Scenario

The first batch of Windows 7 computers has arrived. As part of the deployment process, you need to migrate user settings from existing Windows XP computers to the new Windows 7 computers.

You are rolling out Windows 7 to the computers in your organization. To do this you are creating a reference image of Windows 7 that can be applied to other computers. The image is generalized by using Sysprep.

You are performing a manual test of the deployment process for new images. Eventually, this process will be automated. In this test run, you are ensuring that you have the correct syntax for all of the commands used to start the capture of user settings from the old computer, apply the reference image to the new computer, and then apply user settings to the new computer.

Drivers developed for the 32-bit versions do not work with the 64-bit versions, and vice versa.

Device drivers that ship with Windows 7 have a Microsoft digital signature.

The driver store is the driver repository.

Device metadata packages contain device experience XML documents that represent:

The properties of the device

The device functions

Applications and services that support the device.

Installing Devices and Drivers

Improve end-user device driver installation by:

Configuring client computers to automatically search a specified list of folders

Search folders specified by the DevicePath registry entry

Staging driver packages in the protected driver store

Add to the Driver Store by using the Plug-and-Play utility (Pnputil.exe) at a Command Prompt

Device Manager

Lab Scenario

A Windows 7 computer is used for rendering large engineering drawings. It requires expanded disk space and fast disks. Initially a simple volume is requested, but then an application requires a separate drive letter and the simple volume must be shrunk. Then, more disk space is required, so a spanned volume is created. Finally, a striped volume is created to enhance performance.

Some of the employees at the engineering company work on a shift basis. Disk quotas need to be created for people who share computers on a shift basis and to see which user is using how much disk space allocated.

As the volume of work increases, some of the devices are not functioning as required. Your task is to perform an update of the drivers for those devices.

3/11/2014

48

Lab Review

1. In Exercise 1, you used the assign command in diskpart to assign a drive letter to a newly created volume. Instead of assigning a drive letter, what else can you do?

2. In Exercise 2, you used local disk quotas to manage disk consumption. Although this is a useful local management tool, in an enterprise network based on Windows Server 2008, what other disk space management tools can you use?

3. In Exercise 3, you used driver roll back to reverse a driver update you made. If your computer will not start properly, how can you address a driver-related problem?

You can share folders, but you cannot share individual files

Folders can be shared:

In the MMC console using the Shares snap-in

In Windows Explorer

Through the command line using the Net Share command

Through Computer Management

Shared folders are folders that allow network access totheir content

2. If you want a user to view all files in a shared folder but you can modify only certain files in the folder, what permissions would you give?

3. Identify a scenario at your organization in which you may have to combine NTFS and Share permissions. What is the reason for combining permissions?

10 min

When you create a shared folder on an NTFS formatted partition, both the shared folder permissions and the NTFS file system permissions are combined to secure file resources.

By default, the Everyone group is granted the shared folder permission Read

file and subfolder in a shared folder and the appropriate shared Users must have the appropriate NTFS permissions for each file and subfolder in a shared folder and the appropriate shared folder permissions to access those resources

The share permissions on a folder apply to that folder, to all files in that folder, to sub folders, and to all files in those subfolders

When NTFS and shared folder permissions are combined, the resulting effective permission is the most restrictive one of the two permission sets

Lab Scenario

A group of engineering users need to share files on the Windows 7 computers. All computers are in a domain. The most powerful Windows 7 computer has many files that other users need to access. Most files can be shared among all users; however, the more sensitive files can only be accessed by selected users. The Windows 7 computer has a printer attached to it that other users want to access from their own computers.

As the IT professional assigned to this account, you have outlined the following tasks that must be performed to satisfy these requirements:

Create a public share for the files that all users must be able to access

Create a new share for some specific files that only selected users can access

Share a printer on the workstation that can be accessed by other users

3/11/2014

76

Lab Review

You created the shared folder for all users.

How can you simplify the process for users to access the folder from their computers?

You need to ensure that only specific users can access a shared folder across the network when they are logged on the computer with the shared folder.

How do you configure the permissions?

You need to ensure that users can manage only the print jobs that they have sent to a shared printer. Members of the HelpDesk group must be able to delete all print jobs.

How do you configure the printer permissions?

A subnet mask specifies which part of an IPv4 address is the network ID and which part of the

IPv4 address is the host ID.

This is a simple Class C type IPv4 number. There are 3 octets for the network ID

and 1 octet for the host ID.

Network IDxw y z

192 168 1 0

Subnet maskxw y z

255 255 255 0

This is the network ID for this number. This network ID is shared by all the

hosts on the same subnet

IP addressxw y z

192 168 1 200

This is the host ID in the fourth octet. Note: This host ID is 200 of 254 hosts on this specific subnet.

Lab Scenario

Laptop computers are being introduced for some of the managers in Contoso Corporation. You need to test how the IPv4 configuration will behave when they are out of the office and a DHCP server is unavailable.

Contoso Corporation is considering the implementation of IPv6 in the internal network. However, none in the organization has much experience with IPv6. You are performing some configuration tests with DHCPv6 to see how it behaves.

A work experience student has been unsuccessful in attempting to resolve an network connectivity problem on a Windows 7 computer. The changes made to the computer have not been documented. You need to restore network connectivity for the computer.

Lab Review

How are APIPA addresses for IPv4 similar to link-local addresses in IPv6?

How can you update a Windows 7 computer to use the correct information after a host record is updated in DNS, but the Windows 7 computer is still resolving the name to the previous IP address?
