5. Describe Remote Access and what could be the possible disadvantages of

Remote Access?

Ans: Remote access is the ability for an authorized person to access a computer or
network from a geographical distance through a network connection. Remote access
enables users to connect to the systems they need when they are physically far away.
Disadvantages of Remote Access

1) Security Issues
2) Version Problems and Data Liabilities
3) Hardware Issues Still Need On-Site Work
4) Network Dependency

use.
7. What do you mean by CLI and GUI. What would you prefer to use and why?
Ans:
GUI and CUI are two types of User Interfaces.

GUI stands for Graphical User Interface. GUI user interface is a type of user where user
interacts with the computer using graphics.

CUI stands for Character User Interface. CUI interface interacts with computer using only
keyboard. To perform any action a command is required.

CUI is precursor of GUI and was used in most primitive computers.

I would like to prefer GUI over CLI because of the following reasons:

• GUIs offer better multitasking and control.

• (GUI) allows the user to interact with the system using graphical elements such as
windows, icons, menus.

• GUIs are more intuitive to most of us than text-based interfaces, enough that even
those with very limited knowledge of computers can use them without learning a
coding language or computer commands.
8. Define Directory Services and research and write three types of directory
services.
Ans:
Directory services are software systems that store, organize and provide access to
directory information in order to unify network resources. It is a shared information
architecture used to locate, manage, administrate, and arrange common objects and
network resources, such as volumes, folders, files, printers, users, groups, devices,
phone numbers, and other things. A server that offers such a service is a directory server
or name server. The directory server views every resource on the network as an object.
A set of properties related to an object or resource that is being saved as information
about it.

Types of Directory Services

The different types of directory services supported by Web Server 7.0 are:

LDAP — Stores user and group information in an LDAP-based directory server.

Key File — A text file that contains the user’s password in a hashed format, and the list
of groups to which the user belongs. The users and groups stored in a key file are used
for authorization and authentication by the file realm alone; these bear no relationship to
system users and groups.

The key file format can only be used when the intent is to use HTTP Basic authentication.

Digest File — Stores user and group information based on encrypted username and
password.
9. Explain components of Mail Services.
Ans: The components of Mail services are:

Software component:
Software component defines the terms that are used when discussing the software
parts of the mail delivery system.

Component Description

.forward files Files that you can set up in a user's home directory to redirect
mail or to send mail to a program automatically
mailbox A file on a mail server that is the final destination for email
messages
mail addresses Address that contains the name of the recipient and the system to
which a mail message is delivered
mail aliases An alternate name that is used in a mail address
mail queue A collection of mail messages that needs to be processed by the
mail server
postmaster A special mail alias that is used to report problems and to ask
questions about the mail service
Send mail A file that contains all the information necessary for mail routing
configuration file

Hardware Components:
Hardware components focuses on the functions of the hardware systems in a mail
configuration.

A mail configuration requires three elements, which you can combine on the same system
or provide in separate systems.

• A mail host – A system that is configured to handle email addresses that are
difficult to resolve
 • A minimum of one mail server – A system that is configured to hold one or
more mailboxes

• Mail clients – Systems that access mail from a mail server

If users are to communicate with networks outside your domain, you must also add a
fourth element, a mail gateway.

10. We all have faced Lockdown during COVID19. Explain how NOS services
helped us and other big companies from bankrupt.
Ans:
A network operating system (NOS) is a computer operating system (OS) that is designed
primarily to support workstations, personal computers and, in some instances,
older terminals that are connected on a local area network (LAN). The software behind a
NOS allows multiple devices within a network to communicate and share resources with
each other. The role of the NOS is to then provide basic network services and features
that support multiple input requests simultaneously in a multiuser environment.
 Week 4 Workshop
Objective:

The objective of this workshop is to install roles and features in windows server 2022 that
helps to host a static website.

Requirements:

Download a template using www.free-css.com and extract it. Create a folder in C drive
and copy all the extracted files in that folder.

Step 1: Open windows server’s server manager dashboard and click on “Add roles and

features”.
Step 2; Now click on next button

Step 3; Tick “Role-based or feature-based installation”

Step4; Click on next button without changing any setting on this page

Step 5; Tick on “Web Server (IIS)” feature. To host a website, we need to add a new role
in server that we call it Web Server. This lets us to host web application over server.

Step 5; Click on “Add Features” Button

Step 6; Now Web server role has been added. Now click on next.
Step 7; Again, click next leaving all default values.

Step 18; Tick on “Restart the destination server automatically if required” and press Yes

button. Now it will take some time to get installed required features.
Step 9; We have successfully installed Web Server role in windows Server. Now click on
Tools menu in Server Manager Dashboard and find for “Internet Information Services
(IIS)” and click on it. 14; The IIS manager will be now open. We can see our server’s name
on the left pane of the manager.

Step 10; Click on dropdown button. Now you may see “Sites” option. Again click on drop

down button near Sites menu.

Step 11; Now we need to enter site credentials. Give name “Ramesh.local” on Site name,

On Physical path select the folder where our website file is located On Host name we
need to type “Ramesh.local”
Step 12; Now we can see our site has been listed. We can browse our site by typing

“Ramesh.local” on address bar of web browser in windows server.

Step 13; Now reload the webpage. Boom our website has been loaded.
