Windows Server Deployment Proposal For Worldwide Advertising, In.docxambersalomon88660
Windows Server Deployment Proposal For
Worldwide Advertising, Inc.
Proposed By: Jermaine Nicholson
10/20/15
This Windows Server Deployment Proposal will include potential network infrastructure solutions that will accommodate all factors needed for the establishment of Worldwide Advertising, Inc to have a strong infrastructure. This proposal will provide the details that will go into account for the implementation and configuration of the Windows 2012 Servers along with the roles and features that these server will provide so that the network infrastructure meets the needs for WAI now and take in consideration for company growth for the next 2-3 years. The proposal will also include the technical reasons for the choices we’re presenting, as well as the business reasons so you can take into account the cost of implementing these proposed solutions.
We took into account that WAI will begin with roughly 90 employees and we assume that the company will continue to roughly 150-200 employees over the next 2-3 years. So this proposal will be tailored towards this assumption. We are also taking into account the two locations, Los Angeles (being the Headquarters) and New York (being the branch office). We are proposing that we introduce 4 servers, with all four hosting the Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition, to be deployed across these two locations. Two servers will be located at the Headquarters in Los Angeles and the other two will be deployed in the New York office.
The two servers at the Los Angeles location will be the main servers used for the core I.T network services, such as DHCP, DNS, Active Directory, and File Server (these services will all be explained later in this proposal). One of the two servers at both locations will solely be used as a backup server for fault tolerance, in case the main server goes down for whatever reason. The backup server will be configured the same way as the primary server would with all of the roles and features as the primary, but will only be used in the event of an outage to the primary server.
The deployment method of these servers would be to manually build the primary server from scratch at the Headquarters, then we will used a script from the primary to automate the deployment process of the backup server. This way we know for sure that the both servers at the Headquarters will both be configured in a uniform manner. We will also manually deploy the primary branch server since they will host different roles and features than the HQ servers, then use a script to deploy the backup. The branch servers will be configured with Server core as a security measure, it minimizes the risk of potential hackers trying to find loopholes in the branch sites networks.

When it comes to implementing a network infrastructure from the ground-up, it takes patience and thorough configuration to make sure that no steps are missed, if not would result with major network pr.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

EXCHANGE SERVER
2013 INSTALLATION
This document focuses on Microsoft’s leading email solution software;
the Exchange Server 2013. This document also is a guide for step by step
installation processes which will lead you to a success and professional
installation of an enterprise grade mail server installation.

1 Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Installation
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s Start Installing Microsoft Exchange Server 2013!
A brief explanation of what Exchange Server is; Exchange Server is Microsoft’s email solution
and is a leading product in the IT industry. Comes with whole lot of features that addresses
compliance and regulatory status for an organization. Moreover, it’s light and fast and
seamlessly integrates into iOS, Androids, and has a native support for Windows Phones.
It is understood that you have already installed Windows Server 2012, and promoted the
server as a Domain Controller, and the DC needs to be the Global Catalog Server. Since we
are installing everything in one server, and it’s a Demo/PoC machine, so we are allowed to
test
The PDC (Global Catalog Server) must have the following installed prior making it a Domain
Controller:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
Windows Management Framework 3.0
I will be installing Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 on top of Microsoft Windows Server 2012
Datacenter Server in a single machine. This will be a clean install with no previous exchange
server installations whatsoever. If you want otherwise, have at least a Win2k8R2 SP1 build
machine and have it configured as a Domain Controller and another member server
required if you wish not to install the Exchange on the Domain Controller. But this is a test
lab machine we are building. Deploying Exchange Server 2013 on a production server
requires some serious hardware sizing and allocation for all the roles it carries.
Things you should know about Exchange Server 2013 Prior Installation
Exchange 2013 has two Roles:
1. Mailbox Server Role
2. Client Access Server Role
Each organization requires minimum one Mailbox Server Role and Client Access Server Role.
Mailbox Server Role Includes:
1. Client Access Protocols
2. Transport Service
3. Mailbox Databases
4. Unified Messaging (Except SIP Redirection)
5. Handles all activities for active Mailboxes on that Server
Client Access Server Role Includes:
1. Authentication
2. Redirection (limited)
3. Proxy Services for HTTP, POP, IMAP and SMTP
3. Shahab Al Yamin Chawdhury (Shuvro)- +8801715155514
2 Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Installation
4. Thin and Stateless Server
5. Does not do any data rendering
6. Nothing is queued or stored here (except diagnostic logging)
Before you start installing on a demo machine, have a look at the following link @ Microsoft
TechNet where Exchange Server 2013 Installation Prerequisites are lined up:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
The hardware requirements vary depending on where you are going to install the Mailbox
or CAS roles or whether the server is physical or virtual. Review the official Exchange 2013
System Requirements located below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996719.aspx
There is also a deployment assistant found in the TechNet site:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/exdeploy2013/Checklist?state=1839-W-
AAAAAAAAQAAAAAEAAA~~
You can install Exchange Server 2013 in three different flavors:
Install Exchange Server 2013 as a CAS Server
Install Exchange Server 2013 as a Mailbox Server
Install Exchange Server 2013 as a CAS+MBX Server (all in one box, a real work horse)
Now let’s take a look at the architecture of the new Exchange Server 2013:
4. Shahab Al Yamin Chawdhury (Shuvro)- +8801715155514
3 Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Installation
Exchange Server 2013 Architecture Poster: http://www.microsoft.com/en-
us/download/details.aspx?id=39102
Exchange Server 2013 Architecture Deep Dive @ Channel 9:
http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/Australia/2012/EXL311
As you can see, CAS merely operating as a proxy server and the MBX is the real workhorse.
You might have noticed that the Hub Role, Unified Communication and the Edge Role no
longer exists, if you are developing a larger scale exchange installation then you would
build a CAS server for authentication/user mailbox redirection then install the mailbox roles
on as many servers as you require to hold mailboxes for load balancing and performance. If
you have a large environment I would suggest that you make CAS as a necessary component
(safe to be virtualized also, as it requires small footprint), on an 8GB (with OS) machine, and
definitely do the math on the mailbox calculator for the MBX storage requirements. AD,
Exchange, SharePoint, Lync, and System Center Components have seamless integration on
the mentioned lineups of software’s. So, plan early where your organization is heading to
and provision for scale and software component requirements while the installation occurs.
Suppose if you left out any component, and Lync or any other software gets populated into
5. Shahab Al Yamin Chawdhury (Shuvro)- +8801715155514
4 Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Installation
the organization, you will have to run the setup and install that component once more. But
dormant component can be reinstated while initiation or while connection gets established.
Basically, if you fail to plan, you are planning to fail, it’s that simple.
Now let’s concentrate into the software requirements of Exchange 2013 (things you must
have installed prior installing Exchange Server 2013):
1. Windows Server 2012 Prerequisites: Issue following commands in PowerShell one
by one (a & b)
a. Import-Module ServerManager
b. Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-ADDS
The module for managing the server gets imported to the PowerShell, so that it could
manage and issue certain commands. RSAT stands for Remote Server Administration Tool,
and ADDS stands for Active Directory Domain Services, tools we are going to need to
Administer Exchange in conjunction with Active Directory. Here is the link for Installing and
Uninstalling the RSAT pack: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730825.aspx
Run c, d, e under command prompt, changing into the setup drive where the installation of
Exchange resides (typically your DVD-ROM drives location).
6. Shahab Al Yamin Chawdhury (Shuvro)- +8801715155514
5 Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Installation
c. setup.exe /PrepareSchema
/IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
d. setup.exe /PrepareAD
/IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms (or use the command in
the picture)

More on AD Preparation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/bb125224%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
2. Exchange Server 2013 Installation:
a. Install all the following software prior installing the roles and in the exact
order:
Unified Communications Managed API 4.0 Runtime
Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Packs
Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Office Filter Pack 2010
b. Mailbox Server Role or Combined CAS & MBX Roles: Open up PowerShell and
issue the following command exactly how it shown below:
Install-WindowsFeature AS-HTTP-Activation, Desktop-

The Screenshot would look like the following after executing the command that you
have just issued. As in the yellow outlined warning says, please restart your server at
this point to take on the next challenge.
c. Client Access Server Role: Open up PowerShell and issue the following
command
Install-WindowsFeature AS-HTTP-Activation, Desktop-

The command we have just issued in the PowerShell will prep up Windows Server 2012 for
housing Exchange with necessary components. After doing the above exactly I have
mentioned, please reboot the server. We are now ready to run the setup “Exchange-
x64.exe”, do so.
After extraction, it is recommended that you download the updates, it may save you time
later on if the installation fails because you did not have the latest software updates
installed for the base operating system compatibilities or hotfix, there are hundreds of
things that could go wrong, so prevention is always better than cure!. The download could
take significant amount of time depending on your internet connection speed, or you can
choose not to download the updates also.
9. Shahab Al Yamin Chawdhury (Shuvro)- +8801715155514
8 Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Installation
I am going for downloading the updates. You are going to need a good chunk of bandwidth
for that. Once the download completes you will click next and the License Agreement
Screen pops up. Simply accept the license and continue by clicking next, if you feel
otherwise, the installation is not going to continue. Afterwards you will see a menu which
will copy all the files necessary to continue with the installation. And on the introduction
menu, click next to continue after reading the setup introductions.

The downloaded files will be copied to a temporary location for later use. At this point just
sit tight, and if you have nothing to do, grab a coffee.

Now the actual installation starts. This is the screen that guides you to a number of locations
like the Exchange Server 2013 Deployment Assistant. This DA gives you insight regarding
how the Exchange 2013 should be deployed, nearly a BPA, where it shows you best
practices.

For the sake of this installation I will be continuing with the recommended settings. For
advanced installation options for real-life admins you should choose not to configure
Exchange 2013 with recommended settings. But if you choose to go with the second
selection, be ready to answer some questions.

My environment does not require individual server installations and since this is test-bed so
I will install all roles on one server. You will also notice the box that mentions “Automatically
install any server roles that are required to install Exchange Server”. Leave this ticked as this
installs and configures all the prerequisites that’s required for exchange 2013 such as IIS and
.Net features, though we have installed it earlier, but we didn’t configure it right? This
feature will connect the dots for Exchange and IIS.
Exchange has the following Management roles built into it:
Mail Recipients Enables administrators to manage mailboxes, contacts, and mail
users.
Transport Rules Enables administrators or specialist users assigned the role to
manage the transport rules feature.
Distribution Groups Enables administrators or specialist users assigned the role to
manage distribution groups and distribution group members.
MyPersonalInformation Enables end users to modify their own home phone number and
Web site address.

Next decide where to install Exchange Server 2013; I am going with the normal installation.
But it’s a good practice not to install Exchange on a partition that houses any Operating
Systems. On a production server you should house the Exchange on a RAID drive, at least be
a RAID-5. The Exchange Server 2013 installation will take roughly 5GB or more hard disk
space depending on the selected configuration; house it where you have space for the time
being. But on a production server, please be mindful that you will need more storage space
for your Exchange server to GROW. Click on next to continue.

Next is an important decision point, make sure you have selected a suitable name (example:
mail.mobs-bd.org) for your exchange 2013 organization. Make a note of the option to setup
split permissions. In a large production environment you may want to enable this so that
you can give Exchange Administrators different levels of administration privileges. On the
other hand you should not enable this feature if your Exchange Administrator also manages
your AD with the same account. If he/she does manages both of your AD & Exchange
environment, at least use two account for each purpose.

Exchange 2013 has built-in malware and spy-ware scanning, previously you had to enable
this with some PowerShell after the install, here, and you get the option to enable it
automatically before the total installation takes place. But I am enabling this right now,
taking the advantage. Click “NO” to continue, as it’s literally asking you whether you want to
DISABLE the feature or not.

This is where Exchange 2013 will check for all the prerequisites and warns accordingly, the
pre-deployment readiness checks. Since we have installed all the prerequisites prior starting
the installation and restarted the machine, all information really got in effect. So move
ahead and install the prerequisites prior Exchange installation, and you should let the
installation check for all the prerequisites have been installed or not. This could also take
some time to check, as you don’t want to haste….let it be.
Exchange 2013 will now prepare the organization in multiple steps. You can see the progress
in steps, tiresome to watch at this stage. The process gets completed after step 15.

This again may take upwards of 30 minutes depending on your server. Once Exchange
Server 2013 gets installed you will see the completion screen. Run the EAC, a first look.

And if you press the windows logo on the keyboard, you will see a similar screen. On the
right side you will see the Toolbox and the Management Console at your disposal. Please be
mindful that Exchange 2013 does not come with a management console or a control panel.
Exchange 2013 has been designed so that you could have ease of use by porting your
Administration manageability into the web. Typically Exchange 2013 Admin Center can be
accesses through https://servername.com/eac. Fire up your explorer and issue the
command:
For Outlook Web Access: https://servername/owa
For Exchange 2013 Admin Center: https://servername/eac
And you will be presented with the following login screen:
