Sure! Here's the step-by-step **process for each scenario** explained clearly in chat: --- ### ✅ **Scenario 1: Active Directory + GPO** **Goal**: Create user `Win_Yourname`, give them Windows 10 login rights, and apply a GPO. **Steps**: 1. Open **Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC)**. 2. Right-click the OU (`Yourname_Xceed`) → New → User → Name it `Win_Yourname`. 3. Add `Win_Yourname` to the group **Remote Desktop Users** (for Windows login). 4. Open **Group Policy Management**: * Create a new GPO called `YourName_XceedGPO`. * Right-click → Edit and set the following under **User Configuration** → **Administrative Templates**: * **Control Panel** → Prohibit access to Control Panel. * **Add or Remove Programs** → Hide or disable. * **Desktop** → Prevent changing desktop background. * **Printers** → Prevent addition of printers. * **Windows Components → Windows Update** → Hide "Installed Updates". * **Display → Screen saver** → Force specific screen saver (e.g., `scrnsave.scr`). 5. Link the GPO to your OU (`Yourname_Xceed`). --- ### ✅ **Scenario 2: FSRM (File Server Resource Manager)** **Goal**: Create `\\domain\Xceed\Legal` share with 5GB quota and block video files. **Steps**: 1. Create folder: `C:\Xceed\Legal`. 2. Right-click → Properties → Share → Set network path: `\\domain\Xceed\Legal`. 3. Open **FSRM**: * Go to **Quota Management** → Create a **custom quota** on that folder → Set limit to **5 GB**. 4. Under **File Screening Management**: * Create a file screen for that folder. * Choose to **block file groups**: `Video Files` (includes MP4, MOV, MKV). 5. Set up monthly storage reports: * In **Storage Reports Management** → Schedule a monthly report for `\\domain\Xceed\Legal`. --- ### ✅ **Scenario 3: DNS - Stub Zone Configuration** **Goal**: Create a stub zone for a new rural branch. **Steps**: 1. Open **DNS Manager**. 2. Expand your server → Right-click **Forward Lookup Zones** → New Zone. 3. Select **Stub Zone** → Store in AD → Zone Name: e.g., `rural.xceed.local`. 4. Enter the **IP address of the authoritative DNS server** from the rural branch. 5. Complete the wizard → Stub Zone is created (contains NS, SOA, A records of master). --- ### ✅ **Scenario 4: VMware Snapshot (User File Safety)** **Goal**: Preserve Raj's desktop files and VM state during maintenance. **Steps**: 1. Open **vSphere Client** → Locate Raj’s VM. 2. Ensure files (File1, File2, File3) are visible on the desktop. 3. Take a **snapshot** before maintenance: Right-click VM → Snapshot → Take Snapshot. 4. Perform maintenance. 5. After maintenance, **revert to snapshot**: VM → Snapshot Manager → Revert. 6. Ensure: * VM is **powered on**. * Raj’s desktop files are still present. --- ### ✅ **Scenario 5: DFS (Distributed File System) + AD Groups** **Goal**: Create `APP Team` share with access managed via AD groups and quota. **Steps**: 1. Create folder: `C:\Shares\APP Team` and share it as `\\server\APP Team`. 2. In AD: * Create 2 security groups: * `APP_Read` → Add **Rakesh** and **Raj**. * `APP_Modify` → Add **Amul** and **Pankaj**. 3. Right-click shared folder → Properties → **Security tab**: * Add `APP_Read` with **Read** permissions. * Add `APP_Modify` with **Modify** permissions. 4. Open **FSRM** → Create **custom quota** on that folder → Limit: **100 MB**. --- Let me know if you want **PowerShell commands** or screenshots for any of these steps.
