Ex 48: Install a caching DNS server and find out how it reduces the network traffic.
Answer :
Install a caching DNS server and find out how it reduces the network traffic
Windows 2000 authentication is implemented in two steps: an interactive logon process and a
network
authentication process. Typically, the same set of credentials is used by the interactive logon process and
the network authentication process. If your credentials differ, you are prompted to provide Windows domain
credentials each time you access a network resource. You can avoid this by logging on to your computer
using your Windows domain name, your Windows domain user name, and Windows domain password
before you try to connect to a network resource. If you log on without being connected to the network,
Windows 2000 recognizes the information from a previous successful logon. You receive the message
"Windows cannot connect to a server to confirm your logon settings. You have been logged on using
previously stored account information." When you connect to your network, the cached credentials are
passed to your Windows 2000 domain and you are able to access network resources without having to
provide a password again. Limiting the number of protocols on your computer enhances network
performance and reduces network traffic.

Ex 50: Implement delegated zones for a Domain Name Server.

Answer :
Implement delegated zones for a Doman Name server
In the Macintosh environment, a logical grouping that simplifies browsing the network for resources,
such as servers and printers. It is similar to a domain in Windows 2000 Server networking. In a DNS
(Domain Name System) database, a zone is a sub tree of the DNS database that is administered as a single
separate entity, a DNS server. This administrative unit can consist of a single domain or a domain with
subdomains. A DNS zone administrator sets up one or more name servers for the zone.

Session 6 : Windows 2000 : Server Management

Ex 51-60: Install and Configure Windows 2000 Client & server.
Answer :
Configuring Windows client as VPN client
VPN Client is an application that runs on a Microsoft Windows -based PC, a Sun ultraSPARC
workstations, a Linux desktop, or a Macintosh (Mac) personal computer that meets the system requirements
stated in the next section. In this document, the term "PC" applies generically to all these computers, unless
specified otherwise. The VPN Client on a remote PC, communicating with a Cisco VPN device at an
enterprise or service provider, creates a secure connection over the Internet that lets you access a private
network as if you were an on-site user. This secure connection is a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Installation Notes
The following files are included in this release:
vpnclient-win-msi-4.6.00.0049-k9.zip Windows client MSI installer
vpnclient-win-is-4.6.00.0045-k9.zip Windows client IS installer
vpnclient-darwin-4.6.00.0045-GUI-k9.dmg Mac OS X installer

vpn3005-4.1.6.bin VPN 3005 Concentrator code
update-4.6.00.0045.zip VPN Client AutoUpdate package
Because of platform differences, the installation instructions for Windows and non-Windows platforms also
differ.
The following notes are important for users who are upgrading to Windows XP and users who want to
downgrade to an earlier version of the VPN Client software.
Installation Notes - Windows Platforms
Release 4.6 includes the following installation considerations for Windows users:
Installing the VPN Client Software Using InstallShield Installing the VPN Client software on Windows NT,
Windows 2000, or Windows XP with InstallShield requires Administrator privileges. If you do not have
Administrator privileges, you must have someone who has Administrator privileges install the product for
you.
Note
The VPN Client Installer does not allow installations from a network drive (CSCeb43490).
Installing the VPN Client Software Using the MSI Installer
If you are using the MSI installer, you must have Windows NT-based products such as Windows NT 4.0 (with
SP6), Windows 2000, or Windows XP.
Installing with MSI also requires Administrator privileges.
When installing the Windows MSI installation package, the user must manually uninstall the previous VPN
Client if it is older than version 4.6. The version 4.6 MSI installer does not detect older versions, and the
installer will attempt to install before aborting gracefully. Once a version 4.6 MSI package has been installed,
future client versions will be able to detect the existing version 4.6 installation and automatically begin the
uninstallation process.
VPN Client Installation Using Windows Installer (MSI) Requires Windows NT SP6 When you attempt to
install the VPN Client using MSI install (vpnclient_en.exe) on NT SP3, SP4, or SP5, the error messages do
not indicate
that the VPN Client cannot be installed on those operating systems because they are unsupported. Once the
errors occur, no other messages are displayed and the installation is aborted.

When you attempt to run vpnclient_en.exe on Windows NT SP3, SP4, or SP5 you see the following
messages:
"Cannot find the file instmsiw.exe (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct
and that all the required libraries are available."
-then"Cannot find the file MSIEXEC (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and
that all the required libraries are available."
The Windows Installer (MSI) can be installed only on NT SP6, so the error messages you see using earlier
service packs are due to an MSI incompatibility (CSCdy05049).
Installation Notes - Solaris Platforms
The following sections describe actions you must take when installing the VPN Client on a Solaris platform.
Uninstall an Older VPN Client If Present on a Solaris Platform If you have a previous version of the VPN
Client running under Solaris, you must uninstall the older VPN Client before installing a new VPN Client.
You are not required to uninstall an old VPN Client, if one is present, before installing a new VPN Client for
Linux or Mac OS X. Disable the ipfilter Firewall Kernel Module Before Installing the VPN Client on a Solaris
Platform
If have an IP firewall installed on your workstation, the reboot after installation of the VPN Client takes an
inordinate amount of time. This is caused by a conflict between the vpnclient kernel module cipsec and the
ipfilter firewall module. To work around this issue, disable the ipfilter firewall kernel module before you install
the VPN Client (CSCdw27781).
Using the VPN Client
To use the VPN Client, you need Direct network connection (cable or DSL modem and network
adapter/interface card), or Internal or external modem, and
To connect using a digital certificate for authentication, you need a digital certificate signed by one of the
following Certificate Authorities (CAs) installed on your PC:
Baltimore Technologies (www.baltimoretechnologies.com)
Entrust Technologies (www.entrust.com)
Netscape (www.netscape.com)
Verisign, Inc. (www.verisign.com )
Microsoft Certificate Services
Windows 2000
A digital certificate stored on a smart card. The VPN Client supports smart cards via the MS CAPI Interface.

Session 8 : Windows 2000 : Security

Ex 72: Protect client machine by using Internet Connection Firewall (ICF).
Answer :
Protect client machine by using Internet Connection Firewall(ICF)
Windows 2000 includes a Firewall to protect your system against unwanted "visitors" from the
Internet (but not controlling connections from your system to the Internet, for which you would need to install
a Non-Microsoft Firewall, like ZoneAlarm), which is configured using the Properties of the modemconnection: (using the Firewall on a LAN connection will cause network access problems to your system)
In the properties of the Internet Connection : tab : Advanced.
make sure, that the checkmark is placed for the Internet Connection Firewall.
Using Settings, you can configure the firewall.
tab : Services
The list of programs, which could run on your system. By default, no access is allowed from the Internet to
your system to any of these services.
Unless you need to grant such an access, do NOT activate any of these services.
tab: Security Logging
Allows to activate a log-file tab : ICMP
ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol is part of TCP/IP, the most common use is the PING program to
test a network connection.
By default, the firewall will NOT respond to any ICMP , incl. PING, from the Internet.
Advanced Setup:
In case you have the Internet Information Server (maybe including the FTP server) installed and you like to
allow access from the Internet, then you need to place the Check-marks (you are prompted to confirm the
system allowed to be accessed) Activate ONLY the service, which people need to access from the Internet.
tab: ICMP To allow people on the Internet to test, that the connection is working to your system, you should
allow incoming echo requests (PING-requests).
Warning: now your systems becomes also visible for all these "bad boys and girls", which probe all IPaddresses on the Internet and then try to find out which system they had found, and some of them may try to
damage your system !

Ex 73: Configure TCP/IP packet filter.

Answer :
Configure TCP/IP packet filter
1. Click Start , point to Settings , click Control Panel , and then double-click Network and Dial-up
Connections .
2. Right-click the interface on which you want to configure inbound access control, and then click
Properties .
3. In the Components checked are used by this connection box, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) ,
and then click Properties .
4. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click Advanced .
5. Click the Options tab.
6. Click TCP/IP filtering , and then click Properties .
7. Select the Enable TCP/IP Filtering (All adapters) check box. When you select this check box, you
enable filtering for all adapters, but you configure the filters on a per-adapter basis. The same filters
do not apply to all adapters.
8. There are three columns with the following labels:
TCP Ports
UDP Ports
IP Protocols
In each column, you must select either of the following options:
Permit All . If you want to permit all packets for TCP or UDP traffic, leave Permit All activated. Permit Only
. If you want to allow only selected TCP or UDP traffic, click Permit Only , click Add , and then type the
appropriate port in the Add Filter dialog box. If you want to block all UDP or TCP traffic, click Permit Only ,
but do not add any port numbers in the UDP Ports or TCP Port column. You cannot block UDP or TCP
traffic by selecting Permit Only for IP Protocols and excluding IP protocols 6 and 17.
Note that you cannot block ICMP messages, even if you select Permit Only in the IP Protocols column and
you do not include IP protocol 1.
TCP/IP Filtering can filter only inbound traffic. This feature does not affect outbound traffic or response ports
that are created to accept responses from outbound requests. Use IPSec Policies or packet filtering if you
require more control over outbound access.

Ex 75: Customize and configure IPsec policy and rules for transport mode on the local computer.
Answer :

Notes

 To start Active Directory Users and Computers, open a Remote Desk Top connection to either a
Windows 2000 domain controller or a member server that has Windows 2000 Administration Tools
installed. You must log on to the server as a domain administrator in order to complete this procedure.
By default, only domain administrators, enterprise administrators, Group Policy Creator Owners, and
the operating system can create new Group Policy Objects. If the domain administrator wants a
Non administrator or a group to be able to create Group Policy objects, that user or group can be added
to the Group Policy Creator Owners security group. When a user who is not an administrator, but who is a
member of the Group Policy Creator Owners group, creates a Group Policy object, that user becomes the
creator and owner of the Group Policy object; therefore, that user can edit the Group Policy object. Being a
member of the Group Policy Creator Owners group gives the user full control of only those Group Policy
objects that the user creates or those Group Policy objects that are explicitly delegated to that user. It does
not give the non administrator user any additional rights over other Group Policy objects for the domain
these users are not granted rights over Group Policy objects that they did not create.
When an administrator creates a Group Policy object, the Domain Administrators group becomes the
Creator Owner of the Group Policy object.
When you delegate this task to non administrators, also consider delegating the ability to manage the
links for a specific organizational unit. The reason for this is that, by default, non administrators cannot
manage links, and the inability to manage links prevents them from being able to use the Active Directory
Users and Computers snap-in to create a Group Policy object.

Session 10 : Windows 2000 : Troubleshooting

Ex 94: Back up the recovery agent Encrypting File System (EFS) private key.
Answer :

Backup the recovery agent Encrypting File System9EFS) Private key:

1. Use Backup or another backup tool to restore a user's backup version of the encrypted file or folder to the
computer where your file recovery certificate and recovery key are located.
2. Open windows Explorer.
3. Right-click the file or folder and then click Properties.
4. On the General tab, click Advanced.
5. Clear the Encrypt contents to secure data check box.
6. Make a backup version of the decrypted file or folder and return the backup version to the user.
Notes
To open Windows Explorer, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click
Windows Explorer.
You can return the backup version of the decrypted file or folder to the user as an e-mail attachment, on a
floppy disk, or on a network share.
You can also physically transport the recovery agent's private key and certificate, import the private key and
certificate, decrypt the file or folder, and then delete the imported private key and certificate. This procedure
exposes the private key more than the procedure above but does not require any backup or restore
operations or file transportation.
If you are the recovery agent, use the Export command from Certificates in Microsoft Management
Console (MMC) to export the file recovery certificate and private key to a floppy disk. Keep the floppy disk in
a secure location. Then, if the file recovery certificate or private key on your computer is ever damaged or
deleted, you can use the Import command from Certificates in MMC to replace the damaged or deleted
certificate and private key with the ones you have backed up on the floppy disk.
