SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION 2
Introduction
Week one paper centered on Rouge Company’s network infrastructure. Week two paper, I was
able to highlight Linux and Windows environments where the paper suggested the location for each
server and its appropriate OS. Also, the paper was able to highlight active directory services and how the
organization need to install and deploy the directory services. This paper will have two parts, the
directory services and the under and group management.
Part 1: Directory services
To start with, directory services refer to a collection of processes, software, and hardware which
store information about an organization. For a Linux server operating system, it was designed to allow to
have more than one user to have access to the organization systems at the same time. For folder directory
each user is where the three permissions come into play; read, write, and execute the directory. To create
a folder directory in Linux follows the following commands are to be run
Command one
$ sudo mkdir -p /var/www/reports/
$ sudo groupadd project
Then one is required to add a user who is supposed to have write access to the active directory
Command two
$ sudo usermod -a -G project tecmint
Which by running the command shows the following screenshot
