This practical project assesses a student's ability to install, configure, and manage a server within the context of a real-world case study. The scenario involves ABC Real Estate, which is relocating to a new office and requires a new network setup. The student is tasked with configuring a server according to specified requirements, including disk partitioning, operating system installation (Windows Server 2012 R2 and Linux Fedora 22), and the setup of various network services such as Active Directory, user accounts, print services, and backup/recovery methods. The project also involves documenting the server configuration, network diagram, and proposed specifications for the server and network devices, including a Cisco router. The assessment covers a wide range of server management tasks, from initial setup to ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting, ensuring the student can meet the client's needs and document all changes effectively. The student needs to demonstrate competence in all aspects of the project by providing screenshots and documentation as evidence of successful completion of each task outlined in the assessment brief. The assessment also includes a focus on security, disaster recovery, and client reporting.
