Homework # 5
•
Nano Server refers to a remotely administered server similar to windows
server although it is smaller as it occupies less disk space and only supports
64-bit tools and applications. The Nano Server is optimized for data centers
and private clouds and it focuses on reducing resources consumption,
provide greater speeds, have more stability and also security.
•
Containers in Microsoft are used to refer to ways supported by Windows
Server 2016 operating system and are used to wrapping up an application
into its own isolated box. Containers are managed by tools such as Docker
and PowerShell.
•
Rolling updates or commonly termed as cluster rolling is a type of OS
updates that allows upgrade of the operating system from an administrator
without stopping the Hyper-V or the Scale-Out File Server workloads.
Doing a rolling upgrade for a Hyper-V Cluster with a shared storage like a
SAN means that the administrators can only upgrade the number of nodes
that they have resiliency on.
•
Nested Virtualization in Windows Server 2016 refers to a function that
allows an administrator to run Hyper-V inside a Hyper-V virtual machine. It
allows an administrator to build labs that contain virtualized infrastructure
within a single computer.
•
Docker refers to a computer program that allows for virtualization of
operating system level. Docker support in Windows Server 2016 is used
natively on Windows 10 together with Hyper-V container with the aim of
building, shipping and running containers that are utilizing the Windows
Server 2016.

Software and Operating System Security
- Run SFC and Chkdsk scans to check if the hard drive
has any file error.
- SFC/scan now looks for missing or corrupt Windows
files
Background
• This Subject encompasses 11 in class
assignments and 11 practical Homework
• Installation of windows 10 and windows
server
• Securing computer system against
malwares
• Creating Share drives
• Assign permissions and special privilege
• Key components of server: Nano server,
containers, Containers, Hyper-V, and nested
virtualization.
• Operating system security flaws and how
to disable them.
Methods
• We used Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, Windows XP, Linux
(Ubuntu and Kali), Windows server 2003, Mac OS X, and Netware
to accomplish assigned works.
Results
- Creating multiple user accounts and admin accounts on Windows
Server 2016, change privileges from user to administrator and vice
versal
• How you prevent attacks targeted on operating
system?
• How to create share drives in Window server 2016?
• What tools are used to secure the web browsers?

Server Manager is used to manage all
local and remote services. I used Server
Manager to install active directory domain
service and VPN. Some roles and features
available in server 2016 include; Hyper-V,
file and storage service, DNS, DHCP, web
server, RS, and so forth.

Conclusions
▪ This course was quite informative and practically efficient.
It not limited to windows operating system.
▪ We have done three projects that focused on real world
and current problems: How to secure small business
against cyber threat, data security, system security, and
physical security.
▪ Each chapter contains in-class assignment and hands on
project to implement theoretical knowledge into practice.
▪ The course focuses on identifying the vulnerabilities of the
OS, configuring the built-in security features, and
preventing computer system against cyber attacks.
