proxy settings are available. Proxy settings are generally not applied to local
addresses. The reason is that machines associated with local addresses can be
trusted from a security perspective.

Notice that the proxy name is added in the Address textbox. By default, the
proxy uses 80 as the port. However, you can configure the proxy server to use a
different port. You will have to add the same port on all client systems.

Enable the Bypass proxy server for local addresses checkbox. This will bypass
the proxy server for the local devices.

Exercise 2 - Devices and Printers

Devices and Printers is a folder that displays all the connected devices to the
device. Each device will be listed by category in the folder. You can add devices
and printers by clicking the add buttons and following the wizards. Users can
troubleshoot, view properties, change settings and remove devices all from the
tools on the Devices and Printers folder.

In this exercise, you will learn about Devices and Printers.

Learning Outcomes

Task 1 - Explore Options and Settings in Devices and

Printers
Devices and Printers will give you a graphical representation of all the connected
devices to the device and network. You can configure each device further
through more settings and configuration.

In this task, you will explore the window as well as view the settings available for
monitors, computers and printers.

Exercise 6 - Windows Defender Firewall

Windows Firewall is a host-based firewall that applies security on a computer by
blocking unauthorized access to its services and decreasing its exposure to
potentially destructive network probes when connected to the Internet or a local
intranet.

Windows Firewall is managed using two applications: Windows Firewall (known

as Windows Defender Security Center in Windows 10) and Windows Defender
Firewall with Advanced Security. Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced
Security includes features for creating rules for granular control of Inbound and
Outbound traffic. It has Connection Security Rules for creating IPsec policies
and network isolation.

In this exercise, you will learn about managing the Windows defender firewall.

Learning Outcomes
After completing this exercise, you should be able to:

A user account can be local or domain based. The user account is created in
Active Directory in the Windows environment when it is domain-based. It can be
configured to log in to one or more systems.

A user account can also be configured to remotely connect to one or more

servers through Remote Access or Virtual Private Network (VPN). On the other
hand, a local user account is restricted for use within the system where it is
created. It cannot access resources outside the system.

In this task, you will configure a local user account on the PLABWIN10 device.

Exercise 12 - Power Options

The power options window has the functionality to decide the state of the
machine. The following options are available in Power Options:

Hibernate
Sleep
Standby

The Hibernate option shuts the machine, but the open applications are stored in
a file on a hard disk. As a result, when the machine starts again, the previously
opened applications will run in the same state as before hibernating.

The Sleep option puts the machine into a low power-consuming mode. It keeps
all your open applications running. As soon as the machine starts up from sleep,
the running applications are readily available for use.

The Standby mode happens when a machine has been idle for a period of time.

It is possible to decide whether preference should be given to performance or

energy efficiency.

In this exercise, you will see how to configure the power options by customizing
an existing one and creating a new power plan.

Learning Outcomes
After completing this exercise, you should be able to:

Task 2 - Create a Power Plan

Performance and energy efficiency are inversely proportional indexes. It is
necessary to strike a balance. More energy-efficient plans reduce energy
consumption. Choosing a performance driven plan causes the system to
consume more energy. Based on the requirement, an appropriate power plan
would be chosen.

In this task, you will create a power plan as per your requirement.

Exercise 13 - Administrative Tools

Administrative tools are a collection of computer management services that help
perform regular maintenance tasks, such as disk defragmentation, disk clean-
up, and running system memory diagnostics. These tools also help manage the
system by defining the security policy for Windows and other devices running on
the system. Administrative tools are available on the Start screen or even as
part of the Control Panel.

In this exercise, you will explore the functions and uses of Windows
Administrative Tools.

Task 2 - Configure Windows Memory Diagnostics

Windows Memory Diagnostics is a Windows tool that can scan the system
memory at the booting time. This scan is more thorough than a similar scan
performed by the BIOS system. Therefore, a scan by the Windows Memory
Diagnostics tool is more reliable and can identify more threats than the BIOS
scan.

flow while troubleshooting any issues with the OS or the installed applications.
The Event Log service starts as soon as you start Windows.

There are three types of event logs: application logs, system logs, and security
logs. Application and System logs are available to all users; however, security
logs are available only to the administrators.

In this task, you will access application logs on the system.

Step 1

Local Security Policy

Local security policy configures the security settings of your local machine,
thereby allowing you to make your device more secure, taking care of possible
threats. For example, by using these policies, you can configure the system
firewall, set application and software control policies, enforce passwords, specify
trusted domains, configure access rights, define account privileges, and
schedule security auditing.

These settings can be broadly categorized into three types - user-related

settings, system-related settings, and security-related settings.

Task Scheduler
The task scheduler allows you to automate the schedule to start/run/stop a task.
For example, you can specify the applications that shall start when a specific
event occurs. The specified application will start and run as specified in the

https://www.practice-labs.com/app/platform/print.aspx 286/305

setting. In addition, you can view the already running tasks, and you can also
import a task.

Print Management Properties

The print management option of Administrative Tools allows you to view the
overall status of various printers associated with the computer system. It allows
you to access printer properties, configure print-related settings, and view print
server-related information. In addition, it allows you to view information such as
which printer(s) is ready/not ready, which printer(s) is currently assigned a
job(s), and the length of the print job queue.

ODBC Data Sources

Configuring the ODBC data source is the most convenient way of connecting to
a database.

Note: You can also connect to a database by using a connection string.

Data source configuration connects a database to one of the available ODBC

driver(s), which use the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface. With the
help of the ODBC interface, an application can connect to a database. The
added data source is then available for use by any ODBC-enabled application.

You can configure multiple data sources for each installed driver.
