1.6 Configure Microsoft Windows networking features on a client/desktop
When configuring Windows networking features on a client/desktop, one of the first decisions is whether to set up a workgroup or a domain. Here are some key considerations for each option:
Workgroup Setup: A workgroup setup is appropriate for small, peer-to-peer networks. In this setup, each computer is equal and there is no centralized management. Here are some important steps when setting up a workgroup:
1. Assign a unique name to each computer in the workgroup.
2. Enable file and printer sharing on each computer.
3. Share folders or printers on each computer that should be available to other computers in the workgroup.
4. Connect to shared resources by browsing the network or mapping a drive to a shared folder.
Domain Setup: A domain setup is appropriate for larger networks where centralized management is desired. In this setup, a server acts as a domain controller and manages the user accounts, computer accounts, and security policies. Here are some important steps when setting up a domain:
1. Install the Active Directory Domain Services role on a Windows Server.
2. Run the DCPROMO command to promote the server to a domain controller.
3. Configure DNS settings to point to the new domain controller.
4. Join client computers to the domain.
5. Create user accounts and assign them to appropriate security groups.
6. Configure file and printer sharing on appropriate servers.
Once the workgroup or domain setup is in place, there are various networking features that can be configured, including:
1. Shared Resources: In a workgroup or domain setup, it's possible to share folders or printers so that they can be accessed by other computers on the network.
2. Printers: In a workgroup or domain setup, printers can be shared so that they can be accessed by other computers on the network.
3. File Servers: In a domain setup, file servers can be configured to store shared files and enforce access controls.
4. Mapped Drives: In both workgroup and domain setups, it's possible to map a drive to a shared folder on another computer so that it's easily accessible.
Local OS firewall settings
Local OS firewall settings refer to the firewall that is built into the Microsoft Windows operating system. The firewall controls the network traffic coming in and going out of the computer, and it can be configured to allow or block certain applications, services, and ports.
Here are some examples of local OS firewall settings:
Application restrictions and exceptions: You can configure the firewall to allow or block specific applications or services from accessing the network. This can be done by adding rules to the firewall that specify which applications or services are allowed or blocked.
Configuration: You can configure the firewall to use different settings depending on the type of network connection you are using (e.g., private or public network). You can also configure the firewall to log events and notify you when an application or service is blocked.
Overall, configuring the local OS firewall settings is an important step in securing your network and protecting your computer from unauthorized access and malware.
