1 Introduction
The aim of this project refers to creating a LAN for supporting the environment of
windows server and the client. The organization named as Charlie chocolates manufacturing
is selected, where its office needs LAN set-up. This office is present in east Perth. Charlie
chocolates manufacturing contains four departments namely- Inventory department,
marketing department, sales department and accounting department. The discussion is on
proposing a new LAN for the organization. Next, the following LAN services will be studied-
Centralized user authentication and print server for the users. From the server, it
automatically gets the IP addresses and hosts its own website with the help of their own
server.
2 Centralized user authentication
This report utilizes Active directory, which is referred as the centralized user
authentication. Basically, for providing the domain and the directory services, the activity
directory is used, as it organizes the space for windows. It includes collection of services as
well as the procedures. Moreover, it is used by the domain administration. Domain controller
refers to an actively running Active directory which benefits space utilization. For the
windows space arrangement, the Active directory is used to approve and validate all the
clients as well as the PCs. It authorizes and carries the security methods for each and every
client. This directory is basically utilized for checking the submitted password and finds
whether the client is a typical or the overseer client. It utilizes the component of approval and
validation for checking whether the client falls under the category of ordinary or overseer
customer. It also allows the data capacity and administration for providing the approval and
confirmation. Even it sets up the services of the organization. For instance, correct
administration services, lightweight directory services, united services and testament services.
Active directory services have various other directory services. A highly identifiable
administration refers to Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS), which could grant to
oversee and on top of that it allows data storing related to assets from the system [1].
Active directory server
Active directory server refers to a directory benefit, which is primarily used to build
up the windows domain systems. It is accessible in the majority of the windows server
working frameworks. Like a gathering of procedures and services. At first this AD utilized
just to manage a brought together domain administration. The reason for Active directory
2

venture is essentially moderate all the earth into a solitary AD woods, which will give the a
few advantages.
Active directory’s interested Points
• It gives power to the client to login, where he or she uses the username and
password.
• Creates as well as deals with the username and the Password adjusted among
the Active Directory along with the LDAP Directory Services
• It is ready to diminish the cost by institutionalization.
• It increments adaptability.
• It also improves the service’s speed via, unified administration capacities.
• It could provide establishment to the accompanying Active Directory with
associated services i.e., the Exchange along with the SharePoint.
• Likewise, it is used for enhancing the security of the workstation component.
For configuring the active directory, first install it in the server manager.
