RESULTS All services were installed and tested Active Directory had Drives Mapped

based on the username that was logged on with the script

net use Z: \\domain\shared_Folder\%USERNAME%

My Document Folders were re-routed via group policy to a shared folder on the network.

53

RESULTS Exchange Accounts were merged with

Active Directory and created and emails were able to be sent a received locally

Several WSUS updates were approved and distributed to a windows XP client

54

CONCLUSIONS

Everything went well, All servers and services were installed and worked great. One problem that I had was the capability of the server I used. Once all the services were installed it ran pretty slow

I feel like after this project I am more experienced and more marketable

FUTURE WORK One Extension would be to Setup

ISA Server for internet content Filtering, I wanted to do this but ISA 2006 is not supported by server 2008 as of yet.

A second extension to my project would be to add exchange features that support VoIP, mailbox features, and voice messages played through outlook from the exchange server.
