Enterprise Communications – Practical Exercise 1
Practical 1
Aim
The aims of this exercise are to investigate some of the resourcing requirements and basic
concepts around installing and configuring a simple mail system.
Firstly, we will configure the mail system to work locally. Then we will implement infrastructure,
such as DNS Servers and Routers, to permit mail transports across different notional sites.
We will investigate this using simple software – hMail and Thunderbird. Utilising these tools, we
will be able to discover some of the basic issues and configuration specifics that we will need when
implementing more comprehensive systems.
Activities 1 – 6 should be completed individually. Activity 7 & 8 should be completed with another
student.
Note that this is a Diploma subject and that steps for pracs will now be less prescriptive. You may
need to research how to complete tasks yourself by using The Internet or documentation available
for your products.
This exercise will be completed within a VMware Workstation Environment.
You must maintain an error log sheet and mention how you troubleshot the issues.
Read the entire activity before starting!!!
Document the steps that you followed in your Journal. Journal must have full screen
and clear screenshots.
Activity 1 (Implementation Planning)
In this activity we will prepare the basic server OS, workstation OS and their networking environs.
The server environ will be implemented within a Windows 2016 Virtual Machine.
By default, the NAT environment is configured to use the 192.168.200.0/24 subnet.
Each student should also determine their internet domain name (i.e.xxxstudentid.edu.au) for their
environment, where xxx = the first three letters of their surname and studentid is their student
number.
 i.e. Student “Saththiyan Satchi” with student number 12345678 has domain name
“Sat12345678.edu.au” Domains without the students’ name will not be accepted.
Student name : Gurjashanjeet Singh
Student ID number : 100602009
SIN100602009.edu.au should be the correct domain name.

Enterprise Communications – Practical Exercise 1
 Deploy a Windows 2016 Server Virtual machine.
 Allocate a 4GB of RAM and at least 60GB of Virtual HDD space to this VM.
 Implement the VM within a NAT networking environ.
o Remember that the 192.168.x.2 address is the address of the NAT/Router
 A Windows Server 2016 can be downloaded from or use the MSDNAA
o As we are working in VMware Player and need to do a fresh install download
the .iso version. Save a copy of this to your removable HDD.
 Establish Internet connectivity with this VM
 Activate this VM
 Update this VM using the Windows Update facility.
 Configure the Server Virtual Machine as follows:
 Install the server with “Server with a GUI” option
 Machine Name: win2k16dc
 Change the “Primary DNS suffix of the computer” to that which you determined earlier:
o i.e. Sat12345678.edu.au
 IP Address: 192/168.200.10/24.
 Gateway: 192.168.200.1
o Note this will be the address of your Router NAT interface implemented in
VMware Player.
 Used 192.168.200.1 in my VMware workstation Pro
 DNS Server: 127.0.0.1
o Remember that the only time a DNS server address of 127.0.0.1 is set is when
the machine that you are on will be a DNS server itself.

Enterprise Communications – Practical Exercise 1
Workstation Specification:
You will deploy a Windows 10 Workstation within a VM to implement and simulate client
connectivity.

Enterprise Communications – Practical Exercise 1
 Deploy a Windows 10 (64 bit) Virtual machine.
 A Windows 10 can be downloaded from or use the MSDNAA
 A trial version of Windows 10 (64 bit) that is active for 90 days can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-8-1-enterprise
o As we are working in VMware Player and need to do a fresh install download
the .iso version. Save a copy of this to your removable HDD.
 Allocate a 2Gb of RAM and at least 25Gb of Virtual HDD space to this VM.
 Implement the VM within a NAT networking environ.
o Name: win10ws
o IP Address: 192.168.200.100/24
o DNS: 192.168.200.10
o Gateway: 192.168.200.1
