Yeah finals and stuff was this week, the tests are easy online. Its usually all multiple choice so finals were a gimme just like midterms. Its the projects that get me, i put them off and then i scramble. I have a project thats been getting the better of me for most of the week but im running short on time and i cant seem to wring all the info i need from my textbook. I posted the whole assignment sheet for the project im working on. Some of it I get, like creating the folder directory, installing windows and creating and editing the user accounts and password lengths. I'm having trouble with the network stuff like setting up the IP addresses. Any help on the how of it would be appreciated.

Project Overview
The ABC Hospital is upgrading their version of Windows (specific version details will be provided by your instructor). As part of the upgrade, 100 new computers will be purchased. Your task is to prepare a standard installation for these systems. You will create a base system with specific users and groups, folder structure, network address, printers, and group policies.

When you design your system, take into account the following considerations.

1.You will perform the initial installation. In the field, Junior IT staff and interns will perform the rest of the installations. As a result, you need to thoroughly document and explain the required procedure.
2.The systems will use static IP addresses. For this project, you will be given the IP address. In the field, it will be necessary for the staff to assign each IP address as the machine is configured.
The systems need to have the following configuration:

1.One user, ITStaff, with local administrator privileges.
2.Password complexity should be set to a minimum of 8 characters and meet complexity requirements.
3.A second user, HospitalStaff, with Power user privileges and the same password complexity.
4.The computers will be set to static IP addresses. For the field test, use the specifications below:
IP Address: 192.168.2.153
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.1
Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1
DNS Server: 192.168.2.1
5.Configure a network printer on TCPIP port 192.168.2.250 with a printer name of Admissions Printer
6.Configure a local printer that is shared as Admissions Color InkJet.
7.Create the folder structure shown below.
The hospital needs to display a HIPPA warning reminding employees of patient confidentiality requirements to all employees when they log on.

Several teams need access to local printers which will be shared among the group. All users will need to access domain printers.

Finally, prepare a maintenance plan to install Windows updates.

Deliverables
I. Installation presentation
Starting from a clean system, you will install Windows. You will document the steps of your installation in a Word document using screen captures and text to sequentially document your procedure. Submit the Word document as evidence of your successful installation.

II. Training Documentation
After completing the installation, you will document the following requirements in a Word document using screen captures and text to sequentially document your procedure. Submit the Word document as evidence of your successful configurations.

1.The folder structure required and how to create it.
2.How to add a new user with the specified permissions.
3.How to add the user to the local administrator group.
4.How to assign the specified password length.
5.How to configure a PC with the necessary static IP address.
6.How to set up a network printer.
7.How to set up a local printer.
8.How to examine machine and network performance.
9.How to examine current processes and terminate one.
