Assignment 1: Disaster Recovery Plan
You are an administrator for the Contoso Corporation. The Contoso
Corporation has two (2) large sites. The corporate office is in New York
and the manufacturing site is in Cleveland, Ohio. In addition, the
Contoso Corporation has five (5) smaller sites.
At the Corporate site, you currently have eight (8) physical Hyper-V
hosts that host approximately one hundred twenty (120) virtual
machines. The virtual machines are running Windows Server 2008 R2
and Windows Server 2012. The servers are needed to host email, various
databases, file services, print services, and a point-of sales-application.
The virtual machines are stored on a centrally located storage area
network (SAN) that has multiple power supplies, and use redundant
array of independent disks (RAID).
Over the last three (3) years, you have had two (2) power failures that
caused the servers to go down at the corporate office. Recently, during
one (1) of these incidents, files on one (1) of the servers were corrupted.
It was later discovered that the backup could only partially restore the
data files, but could not restore the server itself.

2. The servers must remain available and reliable. As the administrator,
you must ensure that you can recover from a failure or problem quickly
with minimum loss.
Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:
1. Develop a continuity plan / disaster recovery plan for Contoso
Corporation in which you address the following:
1. Suggest an approach that provides redundancy (failover) for all
mission critical functions in the event of a disaster including power
failure. Consider the following in your approach: Essential
Infrastructure; Email; Database; File Services; Print Services; Point-of-
Sale Applications; Power Redundancy Solutions.
2. Identify the changes that should be made to the backup procedures in
order to address the problem with the server backups.
3. Outline the necessary actions that Server Administrators must verify
for proper operation of servers in the event of a failover.
4. Provide a plan for returning all services back to the primary systems
once the crisis has passed.
5. Examine the pros and cons of moving part of the data center to the
Cleveland office and housing it there on a permanent basis. Provide
your recommendation for the stated action.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with
one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA
or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The

3. cover page and the reference page are not included in the required
assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment
are:
• Demonstrate the ability to describe, manage, and configure load
balancing and failover clustering.
• Demonstrate the ability to configure and manage backups to include
role-specific and online or cloud environments.
• Demonstrate the ability to recover servers to include files and volumes.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in
advanced network infrastructure environments.
• Write clearly and concisely about advanced network infrastructure
topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

4. Assignment 2: Managing a Merger
Imagine you work for Quality Corporation (Quality.ad) who has just
recently bought Crescent Inc. (Crescent.ad) in a recent merger. Quality
and Crescent have separate offices in St. Louis (Quality HQ), Little
Rock, and Austin (Crescent HQ). Crescent also has offices in Oklahoma
City, Tulsa, and Santa Fe. The desire is to establish trusts between the
two (2) AD forests and consolidate core services (DNS, DHCP, etc.) as
soon as possible. Both companies are running Server 2012 as Domain
Controllers. Their primary DNS, DHCP, and Domain Controller servers
are in the two (2) corporate headquarters with secondary servers
located in the other cities to reduce latency.For the Quality.ad domain,
the Flexible Single Master Operation (FMSO) roles are located on
Server01, which is located at the Quality HQ. For the Crescent.ad
domain, the FSMO roles are located on RWDC01, which is located at
the Crescent HQ. In addition, the Quality.ad domain has several servers
configured as a Certificate Authority, and the Crescent.ad domain has a
single Certificate Authority.
During this acquisition, you will need to consider the following:
• The Crescent Inc. has developed several enhancements for the widgets
that your company produces. The engineering documents are installed
on the ServerDocs located at the Austin office. You will need to
configure the necessary systems so that the engineers from Quality
Corporation can access these documents. Since these documents are
considered proprietary and highly confidential, you must ensure that no
other users except the two (2) engineering teams can access these
documents and that the documents stay within the company.
• For both organizations, all user IDs and digital certificates from the
other organization must be recognized.

5. Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
1. Explain the key considerations behind establishing trust relationships
between the two (2) domains.
2. Suggest a method for consolidating Core Network services.
3. Provide a plan for integrating both AD forests eliminating duplication
of service wherever possible.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with
one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA
or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The
cover page and the reference page are not included in the required
assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment
are:
• Describe, manage, and install Active Directory replication, federation
services, and certificate services.
• Demonstrate the ability to plan an advanced AD, DHCP, and DNS
solution.
• Describe and plan for configuring a domain and forest as well as
configuring trusts.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in
advanced network infrastructure environments.

6. • Write clearly and concisely about advanced network infrastructure
topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.
