4 Configure Restricted Groups


You are the IT security administrator for a small corporate network. A group of desktop
administrators needs administrative rights to all of the workstations in the domain. The workstations
are located in the Workstations OU on CorpDC.

In this lab, your task is to:

 Create a global security group named Desktop Admins in the Admins OU. (Members of the
group will be added later.)
 Configure a restricted group policy in the WorkstationGPO object that adds the domain
Desktop Admins group to the local Administrators group on all the workstations.

You can browse for domain groups, but for local group names, you need to type the group
name into the Group field.

8.8.4 Configure AppLocker
You work as the IT administrator for a small business and are responsible for the corporate network.
You are increasing network security by implementing AppLocker. Your first step is to prevent
applications from running on computers that are not located in the Windows directory or the Program
Files directory. In addition, there is a custom call center application used by the support team. The
call center application runs from C:\CallCenter\CallStart.exe and must be allowed to run. You also
want future versions of the call center application to run without having to change any settings.

In this lab, your task is to configure AppLocker in the WorkstationGPO on CorpDC as follows:

 Configure AppLocker to enforce executable rules.


 For AppLocker, create default executable rules to ensure you maintain access to:
o All files located in the Program Files folder.
o All files located in the Windows folder.
 Create an AppLocker rule using the following file attributes:
o Allow the Support group to run the call center software.
o Make sure the application is signed by the software publisher.

10.7.4 Configure NTFS and Share


Permissions
You work as the IT administrator for a small business and are responsible for the corporate network.
You are creating a share for the H:\Components folder on the CorpFiles16 server. The Research
and Development department employees need to store programming components in this shared
folder.
Data in a shared folder on an NTFS partition has two sets of permissions (share permissions and
NTFS permissions). Each user's data access is determined by the most restrictive of these two
permissions. You need to secure the data in the folder as follows:

 Members of the Research Resources group should have full control over the folder.
 All other users should be able to view the contents of the folder.
 Permissions should apply to network access through both the share and local access.

In this lab, your task is to implement a combined share and NTFS permission strategy as follows:

 Share the H:\Components folder using the default share name of Components.
 Configure share permissions by giving the Everyone group Full Control share permissions.
 Configure NTFS permissions for the H:\Components folder by giving the Research
Resources group Full Control permissions.
 Keep the remaining NTFS permissions. This allows administrators full control and allows all
other users to read the folder contents.

12.3.9 Create a Parent Virtual Machine


You installed Hyper-V on the server named CorpServer. You are experimenting with virtual hard
disks. You plan to run several instances of Windows Server as virtual machines. Because these
virtual machines will use a similar configuration, you are considering using differencing disks to
conserve disk space.

In this lab, your task is to:

 Create a virtual hard disk using the following parameters:


o Disk format: VHDX
o Disk type: Fixed size
o Virtual hard disk name: ParentDisk.vhdx
o Location: D:\HYPERV\Virtual Hard Disks\
o Size: 50 GB
 Create the parent virtual machine using the following parameters:
o Virtual machine name: ServerParent
o Location: D:\HYPERV\
o Generation: Generation 1
o Startup Memory: 2048 MB (do not use dynamic memory)
o Network: Not Connected
o Use the D:\HYPERV\Virtual Disks\ParentDsk.vhdx disk previously created.
 Configure the virtual machine to use a DVD linked to the D:\ISOs\
en_windows_server_2022_x64_dvd.iso image file.

In this lab, you will not perform the final configuration steps of starting the machine and installing the
operation system.

different name, but uses the same disk format, disk type, location, and parent disk):
o Disk format: VHDX
o Disk type: Differencing
o Name: Server1.vhdx and Server2.vhdx
o Location: D:\HYPERV\Virtual Hard Disks

policies at this time.

Use Exhibits to see the relevant portion of the network.

In this lab, your task is to:

 Configure the BranchVPN2 server to accept VPN remote access connections.


o Set the internet connection for the VPN server to Public.
o Configure the VPN server to assign addresses to clients in the range
of 192.168.200.200 to 192.168.200.250.
