INFORMATION SHEET 3.2.

Confirm network services to be configured

LEARNING OBJECTIVE/S:

After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:

1. Identify what is a network services.

2. Identify what are the different network services.
3. Enumerate the procedures on how to share network services.

Network Services

A networking service is a low-level application that enables

the network to perform more than basic functions. Some examples
of networking services include; NTP, DNS, DHCP, VoIP, File and Directory,
Hardware Sharing, Email, and Website Hosting.

Which is the most popular network service?

1. Electronic mail (e-mail) is the most popular and widely used network

service.

What Is DNS? How DNS Works? Cloud flare

2. Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the Internet. Humans

access information online through domain names, like nytimes.com or
espn.com. Web browsers interact through Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses. 

DNS translates domain names to IP addresses so browsers can load

Internet resources.
3. DHCP defined and how it works

DHCP stands for dynamic host configuration protocol and is a network

protocol used on IP networks where a DHCP server automatically assigns
an IP address and other information to each host on the network so they
can communicate efficiently with other endpoints.

4. Voice over IP

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), also called IP telephony, is a

method and group of technologies for the delivery of voice
communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP)
networks, such as the Internet.

The terms Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband

phone service specifically refer to the provisioning of communications
services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet,
rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN), also
known as plain old telephone service (POTS).
 5. Setting Up for Shared Printing on Windows Operating Systems

Specifying the Shared Settings of the Printer.

You can share your new printer on the network using the Software and
Documentation disc that comes with your printer, or using Microsoft point-
and-print or peer-to-peer method.
However, if you use one of the Microsoft methods, some features, such as
the status monitor and other printer utilities, installed with the Software and
Documentation disc, may not be available.
If you want to use the printer on a network, share the printer and install its
drivers on all the computers on the network.

Windows 7, Windows 7 64-bit Edition

1. Click Start→ Devices and Printers.

2. Right-click the printer icon and select Printer properties.
3. On the Sharing tab, click Change Sharing Options if exists.

Select the Share this printer check box, and then type a name in the Share
name text box.

4. Click Additional Drivers and select the operating systems of all network
clients that print to the printer.
5. Click Apply, and then click OK.

Windows Server 2008 R2

1. On the Windows desktop of the client computer, click Start→ your user
name→ Network (Start→ Network for Windows Server 2008 R2).
 2. Locate the host name of the server computer, and then double-click the
host name.
3. Right-click the shared printer name, and then click Connect.
4. Click Install driver.
5. Wait for the driver information to be copied from the server computer to
the client computer, and for a new printer object to be added to the
Devices and Printers folder. The time this takes varies, based on network
traffic and other factors.
6. Print a test page to verify installation.
 Click Start→ Devices and Printers.
 Right-click the printer you just created and select Printer properties.
 On the General tab, click Print Test Page.
When a test page prints successfully, installation is complete.

Peer-to-Peer

If you use the peer-to-peer method, the printer driver is fully installed on
each client computer. Network clients retain control of driver modifications.
The client computer handles the print job processing.

Windows 7, Windows 7 64-bit Edition, or Windows Server 2008 R2:

1. Click Start → Devices and Printers.
2. Click Add a Printer.
3. Select Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer. If the printer is
listed, select the printer and click Next, or select the printer that I want
isn't listed. Click Select a shared printer by name and type in the path of
the printer in the text box, and then click Next.
For example: \\<server host name>\<shared printer name>
the server host name is the name of the server computer that identifies it
 to the network. The shared printer name is the name assigned during the
server installation process.
If this is a new printer, you may be prompted to install a printer driver. If
no system driver is available, then you will need to provide the path to
the available driver.
4. Confirm the printer name, and then click Next.
5. Select Yes if you want this printer to be set as the default printer, and
then click Next.
6. Click Print a test page if you want to verify installation.
7. Click Finish.
When a test page prints successfully, installation is complete.

6. Remote Desktop: Connect to another Computer (Windows 7)

Configure Folder Redirection and Roaming profile

Folder Redirection means if any users save any data on the Desktop or, his
Document folder (or what you have configured on GPO) it will be redirected to
the server you applied the GPO. let’s suppose you configured it on Desktop so
any file you will save on your desktop or a machine you applied the GPO it will
be saved on the FS or Volume or any path you chose on GPO.

First of all, we have to create a new folder and grant to the folder permission
 That permission type is an extraordinary! , one of the reasons I love
Microsoft, Creator Owner means once any user creates a folder (perform login
to the server and the folder will create automatically with his username) on the
server only that user will be permitted for this folder.
 In my case I have granted full permission for users, of course,
you can change it and do it per your requirements.

We need to configure Share Permission as well.

 This is the time for GPO settings implementation, now we are going to
configure Folder Redirection and Roaming Profile settings, Go to GPO create a
new policy
Go to GPO create a new policy

Go To:

User configuration <Windows Settings > Folder Redirection

 And here you suppose to choose what would you like will be redirected to
path.
I want to Redirect the App Data
Properties settings or AppData:

Create a folder for each user under the root path Root path (Where do you want
all app data will be saved?)

I want to do it also Desktop too:
And the last one is “Favorites“
 Now all these settings mean that, if the user saves any data
under Desktop, Favorites, or App Data those content automatically will
be saved on \\Win-xxxxx2\z$
