Arguably, the greatest advancement in technology and communication over the past 20 years has been
the development and advancement of the computer network. From emailing a friend to on-line bill
paying to downloading data off the Internet to e-commerce, networking has made our world much
smaller and changed the way we communicate forever.

net·work: [net-wurk] – noun, a system containing any combination of computers, computer terminals,
printers, audio or visual display devices, or telephones interconnected by telecommunication equipment
or cables: used to transmit or receive information.

Computer network: A collection of computing devices that are connected in various ways in order to
communicate and share resources. Usually, the connections between computers in a network are made
using physical wires or cables. However, some connections are wireless, using radio waves or infrared
signals

The Four Types of Networks

1. WAN – Wide Area Network

• A Wide Area Network exist over a large area

• Data travels through telephone or cable lines
• Usually requires a Modem
• The world’s largest Wide Area Network is the Internet

2. LAN – Local Area Network

• A Local Area Network spans a relatively small area

• LAN are usually confined to one building or a group of buildings
• Data travel between network devices via network cables.

 • The most common type of Local Area Network is called Ethernet

3. Peer-to-Peer Network

• Usually very small networks

• Each workstation has equivalent capabilities and responsibilities
• Does not require a switch or a hub.
• These types of networks do not perform well under heavy data loads.

4. Metropolitan-area network (MAN)

The communication infrastructures that have been developed in and around large cities

Types of Network Connection (Topology):

Ring Topology

• All devices are connected to one another in the shape of a closed loop.
• Each device is connected directly to two other devices, one on either side of it.
• A configuration that connects all nodes in a closed loop on which messages travel in one
direction.

Star Topology

• All devices are connected to a central hub.

• Nodes communicate across the network by passing data through the hub or switch.

Date Developed: Document No.

Dec. 13, 2023 Issued by:

SERVICING NCII Developed by:
Roberto B. Navarro Jr. Page 14 of 124
 • A configuration that centers around one node to which all others are connected and through which
all messages are sent.

Bus Topology

• All devices are connected to a central cable, called the bus or backbone.
• There are terminators at each end of the bus that stops the signal and keeps it from traveling
backwards.
• All nodes are connected to a single communication line that carries messages in both directions

Network Operating System (NOS)

The term network operating system is used to refer to two rather different
concepts:

 A specialized operating system for a network device such as a router switch

or firewall.
 An operating system oriented to computer networking, to allow shared file
and printer access among multiple computers in a network, to enable the
sharing of data, users, group, security, application, and other networking
functions. Typically, over a local area network (LAN), or private network. This
sense is now largely historical, as common operating systems generally now
have such featured included.
Types of Network Operating System

1. Peer-to-peer network

 In a peer-to-peer network operating system users are allowed to share

resources and files located on their computers and access shared resources
from others. This system is not based with having a file server or centralized
management source. A peer-to-peer network sets all connected computers
equal; they all share the same abilities to use resources available on the
network.

Advantages

 Ease of set-up
Date Developed: Document No.
Dec. 13, 2023 Issued by:

SERVICING NCII Developed by:
Roberto B. Navarro Jr. Page 15 of 124
  Less hardware needed, no server need be acquired

Disadvantage

 No central location of storage

 Less security than client-server model

2. Client-Server Model

Network operating system can be


based on a client-server model
(architecture) in which a server
enables multiple clients to share
resources. Client-server network
operating system allow networks
to centralize functions and
applications in one or more
dedicated file servers. The server
is the center of the system,
allowing access to resources and instituting security.

Advantages

 Centralized servers are more stable

 Security is provided through the server
 New technology and hardware can be easily integrated into the system
 Hardware and operating system can be specialized, with a focus on
performance
 Servers are able to be accessed remotely from different locations and
types of systems.

Disadvantages

 Buying and running a server raises costs

 Dependence on a central location for operation
 Requires regular maintenance and updates.

Overview: Configuring P2P connection, will give the learner the experience in basic
P2P networking.

Peer-to-Peer Connection

Stands for "Peer to Peer." In a P2P network, the "peers" are computer systems
which are connected to each other via the Internet. Files can be shared directly
between systems on the network without the need of a central server. In other
words, each computer on a P2P network becomes a file server as well as a client.

How to connect two computers in a P2P connection?

Step 1. Physical connection.

Connect the crossover cable to the RJ45 ports (Network ports) of your two PCs. The
crossover cable can be made by you.

Step 2. Configure your PCs for network communication.

Windows 7 Network Configuration.

In windows 7, settings are split into two sections: adapter settings and advanced
sharing settings; let’s start with the adapter settings;

♦Click on Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center>
Change adapter settings and you get to see you Network Interface Card. (shown in
fig). If it is disabled, right click and click on Enable.

♦Right click and select properties;

♦Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties; this gives
us an interface that allows us to assign an IP address to the Network Interface Card
of our PC. Manually enter the IP address information as shown in the figure and
click OK; again, remember that the Default gateway of one PC is the IP address of

the other and vice versa. To see this, compare the two IP address configuration
figures.

TCP/IP - Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is a suite of

communication protocols used to interconnect network devices on the internet.
TCP/IP can also be used as a communications protocol in a private network
(an intranet or an extranet).

Protocol - the official procedure or system of rules

IP Address - a unique string of numbers separated by periods that identifies each

computer using the Internet Protocol to communicate over a network.

Reserved for private networks.

The organizations that distribute IP addresses to the world reserves a range of IP

addresses for private networks.

 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (65,536 IP addresses)

 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (1,048,576 IP addresses)
 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (16,777,216 IP addresses)

Your simple home network, with its router at the center and computers connected
to it—wired or wireless—classifies as one of those networks.

There are two types of IP addresses: static and dynamic IP. Static IP
addresses remain constant, while dynamic IPs change periodically.

In Networking, there is a long and rich list of commands we use to test and
troubleshoot networks; one of them is the “ping” command and it is used here to
test if our network configuration is working.

On your windows XP Professional PC, do the following:

♦In the start pop up window, click on “Run”. In the small window that appears,
enter “cmd” as shown in the figure.

♦In the black and white screen that appears, enter “ping 192.168.1.103” and hit
Enter. If the system responds with replies from 192.168.1.103 as shown in the
figure, your network configuration is working and you can share as much as you
want!

Ping command response

What is “ping” command?

The ping is the reaction time of your connection–how fast you get a response after
you've sent out a request. A fast ping means a more responsive connection,

especially in applications where timing is everything (like video games). Ping is
measured in milliseconds (ms).

On your Windows 7 machine, just click on the start image and enter cmd in the
search box that appears, the same black and white screen appears and you can
ping the Windows XP Professional IP address to check and see if the connection is
working. This is what you type in the black and white screen “ping 192.168.102″. If
you reply from 192.168.1.102 pop up, we know that our connection works.

Ping command response.

On your Windows 7 machine, do the following:

Setting up a peer-to-peer network between two computers running Windows 10 is
relatively straightforward.

Here are the general steps to do so:

1. Connect both computers to the same network, either through a wired or wireless
connection.
2. On each computer, open the Control Panel and navigate to "Network and
Sharing Center."
3. Click on "Change advanced sharing settings" and ensure that network discovery,
file and printer sharing, and public folder sharing are turned on.
4. Next, right-click on the folder or drive that you want to share, select "Properties,"
and then go to the "Sharing" tab. Click on "Advanced Sharing" and check the box
that says "Share this folder."
5. Once the folder is shared, you can set permissions for specific users or groups if
needed.
6. To access the shared folder on the other computer, open File Explorer, and
under the Network section, you should see the other computer listed. You can
then browse and access the shared files and folders.

It's important to note that both computers should be on the same workgroup or
homegroup for easier network discovery. Additionally, ensure that any firewalls or
security software on both computers are configured to allow file and printer
sharing.

Checking Normal Function of Server

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, LEARNER MUST be able to:
1. Identify and check normal functions of server
2. Identify what are a server and its function
3. Enumerate the procedures to be made in moving and saving files to the
server home directory
Overview: In checking normal function of server, will give the learner basic
concept on what a server is and its functions.

What is a Server?

• Server is a computer program that provides a service to another

computer programs and their users.

• A physical computer which runs a server programmed is frequently referred

to as a SERVER. Servers perform various essential tasks and activities
that is a very crucial thing of any organization's IT infrastructure.

• The many complex processes that take place during an activity, for
example a security and authentication to billing and orders, the purchase
could not take place without several powerful servers handling the load
hence servers are very much important for any organization.

Functions of Server:

• The main and important function of a server is to listen in on a port for

incoming network requests, and a good demonstration of this is the
interaction between a Web server and browser.

SERVICING NCII Developed by:

 • For a user the process is instantaneous, but when he clicks a link while
surfing on the Web, several things are taking place behind the scenes like
the request for the Web page is transmitted to the corresponding web
server, and the server fetches and assembles the Web page and
retransmits it using a protocol like HTTP, and, the user's browser receives
the data, converts it, and displays the page.

• Other function of a computer server is to store, retrieve and send or

"serve" files and data to other computers on its network. Many
businesses of all sizes use a local network or "intranet" in their office
facilities. On a larger scale, the world-wide computer network we know as
the "Internet" depends upon a large number of servers located around
the world. The files, data, and functionality of a given website are based on
web servers.

Storage Server

• A storage server is a type of server that is used to store, access, secure

and manage digital data, files and services.
• It is a purpose-built server used for storing and accessing small to large
amount of data over a shared network or through the Internet.
• A storage server may also be called a file server.
• A storage server is typically less powerful than a standard server, but has
more storage space, storage access interfaces and specialized data
retrieval and management utilities.
• A storage server generally serves as a central point of access for data
storage and access. Local client nodes and remote computers access the
storage server through a GUI control panel and FTP or through
programmatic API access by software and applications.
• It can be used for routine or frequently used data storage and access, or it
can serve as a backup server for storing backup data.
• A storage server is an integral part of direct attached storage (DAS),
network attached storage (NAS) and other storage networking
technologies.

Saving Files to the Home (Server) Directory

If you are concerned about students having access to tests or files on your
computer, you can save files to your personal server space (Home
Directory). The only way to gain access to those files is to log on to a
computer, which connects to the server. You can find your Home Directory
under My Computer. The Drive will begin with your logon name. Example: My
drive name is ‘janetsmith on wynne6\home\w-admin’ (H:) Sometimes you
might not be able to see the H: but just look for your name.

large files and want to save them, e-mail Helpdesk.

Moving Files to the Home Directory

You may already have files created and you want to move them over to the
server.

1. Find the files you want to move to the server.

2. Highlight the file or files

a. To highlight multiple files, which are all in a row, highlight the first file in
line – hold the shift key down and highlight the last file in line.

b. To highlight multiple files that are scattered throughout a folder,

highlight the first file – hold the control key and highlight the remaining
files.

your logon name)
5. File, New, Folder Name the folder whatever you like, example:
“Mydocs Backup 5-20-04”
6. Open the folder you just created
7. Edit, Paste

You can save files to your home directory any time you want, just as you would
save them to My Documents or the C: drive.

Saving files to the Home Directory

1. Log on to your computer under your own name.

2. You Must be logged into the Novell Network in order for your H: drive to
be available.
3. Create any document, as you would typically.

Undertaking operation and security check

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, LEARNER MUST be able to:
1. Learn how to undertake operation and security check.
2. Follow proper procedure in undertaking operation and security check.
Overview: Undertaking operation and security check, will give the learner basic
understanding on how to check operation and security in computer system and
network.

Network Security

As a future Computer Technician, you need to understand

computer and network security. Failure to implement proper
security procedures can affect users, computers, and the general
public. Private information, company secrets, financial data,
computer equipment, and items about national security are placed
at risk if proper security procedures are not followed.

The Importance of Security in Computer System and Networks

Computer and network security help keep data and

equipment safe by giving only the appropriate people access.
Everyone in an organization should give high priority to security,
because everyone can be affected by a lapse in security.

 Theft, loss, network intrusion, and physical damage are some
of the ways a network or computer can be harmed. Damage or loss
of equipment can mean a loss of productivity. Repairing and
replacing equipment can cost the company time and money.
Unauthorized use of a network can expose confidential information
and reduce network resources.

An attack that intentionally degrades the performance of a

computer or network can also harm an organization’s production.
Poorly implemented security measures that allow unauthorized
access to wireless network devices demonstrate that physical
connectivity is not necessary for security breaches by intruders.

A technician’s primary responsibilities include data and

network security. A customer or an organization may depend on
you to ensure that their data and computer equipment are secure.
You will perform tasks that are more sensitive than those assigned
to the average employee. You may have to repair, adjust, and
install equipment. You need to know how to configure settings to
keep the network secure, but still keep it available to those who
need to access it. You will ensure that software patches and
updates are applied, antivirus software is installed, and
antispyware software is used. You may also be asked to instruct
users on how to maintain good security practices with computer
equipment.

Security Attacks

To successfully protect computers and the network, a

technician must understand both of the following types of threats
to computer security:

 Physical: Events or attacks that steal, damage, or

destroy such equipment as servers, switches, and
wiring.
 Data: Events or attacks that remove, corrupt, deny
access to, allow access to, or steal information.

Threats to security can come from inside or outside an

organization, and the level of potential damage can vary greatly.
Potential threats include the following:

 Internal: Employees who have access to data,

equipment, and the network. Internal attacks can be
characterized as follows:
Date Developed: Document No.
Dec. 13, 2023 Issued by:
COMPUTER SSYTEM
SERVICING NCII Developed by:
Roberto B. Navarro Jr. Page 105 of 124
  Malicious threats are when an employee intends
to cause damage.
 Accidental threats are when the user damages
data or equipment unintentionally.

 External: Users outside an organization who do not

have authorized access to the network or resources.
External attacks can be characterized as follows:
 Unstructured attacks, which use available
resources, such as passwords or scripts, to gain
access to and run programs designed to vandalize.
 Structured attacks, which use code to access
operating systems and software.

Physical loss or damage to equipment can be expensive, and

data loss can be detrimental to your business and reputation.
Threats against data are constantly changing as attackers find new
ways to gain entry and commit their crimes.

Viruses, Worms, and Trojan Horses

Computer viruses are created with malicious intent and sent

by attackers. A virus is attached to small pieces of computer code,
software, or document. The virus executes when the software is
run on a computer. If the virus spreads to other computers, those
computers could continue to spread the virus.

A virus is transferred to another computer through e-mail, file

transfers, and instant messaging. The virus hides by attaching itself
to a file on the computer. When the file is accessed, the virus
executes and infects the computer. A virus has the potential to
corrupt or even delete files on your computer, use your e-mail to
spread itself to other computers, or even erase your hard drive.
Some viruses can be exceptionally dangerous. The most damaging
type of virus is used to record keystrokes. Attackers can use these
viruses to harvest sensitive information, such as passwords and
credit card numbers. Viruses may even alter or destroy information
on a computer. Stealth viruses can infect a computer and lay
dormant until summoned by the attacker.

A worm is a self-replicating program that is harmful to

networks. A worm uses the network to duplicate its code to the
hosts on a network, often without any user intervention. It is
different from a virus because a worm does not need to attach to
a program to infect a host. Even if the worm does not damage
data or applications on the hosts it infects, it harms networks

because it consumes bandwidth.

A Trojan horse technically is a worm. It does not need to

be attached to other software. Instead, a Trojan threat is hidden
in software that appears to do one thing, and yet behind the
scenes it does another. Trojans often are disguised as useful
software. The Trojan program can reproduce or replicate like a
virus and spread to other computers. Computer data damage and
production loss could be significant. A technician may be needed
to perform the repairs, and employees may lose or have to
replace data. An infected computer could be sending critical data
to competitors while at the same time infecting other computers
on the network.

Security Procedures

You should use a security plan to determine what will be

done in a critical situation. Security plan policies should be
constantly updated to reflect the latest threats to a network.

A security plan with clear security procedures is the basis

for a technician to follow. Security plans should be reviewed each
year. Part of the process of ensuring security is conducting tests
to determine areas where security is weak. Testing should be
done on a regular basis. New threats are released daily.

Regular testing provides details of any possible weaknesses in

the current security plan that should be addressed. A network
has multiple layers of security, including physical, wireless, and

data. Each layer is subject to security attacks. The technician
needs to understand how to implement security procedures to
protect equipment and data.

Figure 87. Most Commonly Known Anti-Virus Software

Virus protection software, known as antivirus

software, is software designed to detect, disable, and
remove viruses, worms, and Trojans before they infect a
computer. Antivirus software becomes outdated quickly,
however. The technician is responsible for applying the most
recent updates, patches, and virus definitions as part of a
regular maintenance schedule. Many organizations establish
a written security policy stating that employees are not
permitted to install any software that is not provided by the
company. Organizations also make employees aware of the
dangers of opening e-mail attachments that may contain a
virus or worm.

Data Encryption

Encrypting data involves using codes and ciphers. Data

encryption can help prevent attackers from monitoring or
recording traffic between resources and computers. It may
not be possible to decipher captured data in time to make
any use of it. A security alert may inform you that you are
using an encrypted connection.

A virtual private network (VPN) is an encryption

system that protects data as though it resides on a private
network. The data actually travels over the Internet or
another unsecured public network.

Port Protection

Every communication using TCP/IP is associated with

a port number. HTTPS, for instance, by default uses port
443. A firewall is a way of protecting a computer from
intrusion through the ports.

With port protection, the user can control the type

of data sent to a computer by selecting which ports will be
open and which will be secured. Data being transported on
a network is called traffic.

4. To turn it off, switch the setting to Off. Turning off Microsoft Defender Firewall
could make your device (and network, if you have one) more vulnerable to
unauthorized access. If there's an app you need to use that's being blocked, you
can allow it through the firewall, instead of turning the firewall off.

Note: If you get errors, or if the setting won't turn on, you can use the
troubleshooter and then try again.

Wireless Security Techniques

Traffic flows through radio waves in wireless networks, so it is

easy for attackers to monitor and attack data without having to
connect to a network physically. Attackers gain access to a network
by being within range of an unprotected wireless network. A
technician needs to know how to configure access points and
wireless network interface cards (WNIC) to an appropriate level of
security.

When installing wireless services, you should apply the

following wireless security techniques immediately to prevent
unwanted access to the network:

 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) was the first-

generation security standard for wireless network.
Attackers quickly discovered that 64-bit WEP
encryption was easy to break. Monitoring programs
could detect the encryption keys used to encode the
messages. After the keys were obtained, messages
could be easily decoded. In an attempt to overcome
this weakness, most users employ a 128-bit key for
WEP.
 Change the default administration password.
 Disable the broadcasting of the Service Set Identifier
(SSID) to hide it from other users.
 Use MAC filtering to protect the network from other users.
 Change the default values of the SSID by entering the
setup program for the access point and renaming the
SSID.
 Update to the latest available firmware.
 Install or activate a firewall, and adjust the settings to
eliminate all traffic except the desired network
settings.
 Update to the latest available firmware.

eliminate all traffic except the desired network settings.

An attacker can access data as it travels over the

radio signal. However, you can use a wireless encryption
system to encode data and thereby prevent unwanted
capture and use of the data. Both ends of every link must
use the same encryption standard. The following list
describes the different levels of wireless security, from most
secure to least secure:

 Lightweight Extensible Authentication

Protocol (LEAP): Also called EAP-Cisco, LEAP is a
wireless security protocol created by Cisco to
address the weaknesses in WEP and WPA. LEAP is
a good choice when using Cisco equipment in
conjunction with operating systems such as
Windows and Linux.
 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA): An improved
version of WEP. It was created as a temporary
solution until 802.11i (a security layer for wireless
systems) was fully implemented. Now that 802.11i
has been ratified, WPA2 has been released. It
covers the entire 802.11i standard.
 WEP 128: An enhanced encryption protocol
combining a 104-bit key and a 24-bit initialization
vector.
 WEP 64: The first-generation security standard for
wireless network. It could be exploited because of
an encryption key that was vulnerable to decoding.
 No security: Although you can elect to implement
no security whatsoever, you leave your wireless
network completely vulnerable to attack.

In addition, Wireless Transport Layer Security

(WTLS) is a security layer used in mobile devices that
employ the Wireless Applications Protocol (WAP). Mobile
devices do not have a great deal of spare bandwidth to
devote to security protocols. WTLS was designed to provide
security for WAP devices in a bandwidth-efficient manner.

 The main purpose of a technical report is to deliver information.
Technical reports are intended primarily for the long-term archival of
results and descriptions and for monitoring the conditions of laboratory
facilities such as the computers, network status and other hardware
facilities.

A good report needs careful planning. As part of the planning

stage, you should answer the following questions.

 What is the report about? What are you trying to say? You should
arrange things so that the key facts and conclusions are very
accessible. Not everyone will read the whole report, so ensure that
your message is concise even if a person only skims the document.
 Who are you writing for? It is simply impossible to write a technical
document that will be equally easy for everybody to read: the level of
explanation you need for an expert audience is totally different from
the explanation needed for readers who are unfamiliar with the
subject. It is absolutely essential that you identify the potential
readers — the professional group, not the individuals — before you
start your work.

How long can the report be? It is difficult to predict in advance exactly how
long a report will be. Technically speaking, writing reports for hardware and
other facilities should be specific and itemized.

A computer system and network report can help you to:

 identify the hardware components inside your computer
– CPU, memory, motherboard etc.; and your network
devices.
 understand conflicting hardware inside your computer; and common
errors you may
encounter in networking

 help the computer repair persons and network

administrators to understand your computer system
and networks with a written, detailed hardware report
(therefore he can find the missing drivers faster, for
example).

Key tasks in a network maintenance checklist

Network technologies and devices might change over time, but certain
maintenance tasks, such as data backup and device inventory, will always be
essential for network teams.

Network maintenance is important, but projects like designing and installing a new
section of the network or installing a new application can often interfere with
needed maintenance tasks. Despite the urgency of these types of projects, network
teams cannot push aside the following network maintenance tasks.

Network maintenance checklist

1. Data backups

Data backups are the most crucial maintenance activity. No matter what kind of
network disaster takes place, it's crucial to be able to recover up-to-date data. For
some firms, an end-of-day backup is sufficient, while others require continuous
backup. Backups can be made locally or across the network. Local backups should
be stored off-site to protect against fire or other factors that could damage them.
Network teams should check periodically that backups are actually are being done
and are readable. There's nothing worse than when teams need the backed-up data
only to find out that, for some reason, backups haven't been made or can't be
found.

2. Malware protection

Malware protection is increasingly important. Update protection software, run scans

and keep track of new attack types. It's also important to keep server OSes and
network device software up to date. If possible, maintain a test network with no
connection to the main network. Try any updates on the test network before
updating OSes.

3. Network documentation updates

Keep network documentation up to date. It's easy for teams to accidentally skip this
task when dealing with an emergency. Record the time and date of every fix, the
name of the person who made the fix and a description of why the fix was made.

Network maintenance tasks have always been necessary and are unlikely to
change a great deal in the future.

4. Device inventory

Date Developed: Document No.

Dec. 13, 2023 Issued by:

SERVICING NCII Developed by:
Roberto B. Navarro Jr. Page 119 of 124
Maintain an inventory of devices. Develop a set of device names that indicate
where in the network a device is located and the type of device. Include IP and MAC
addresses.

5. Power checks

When teams are focused on all the other things that can go wrong in the network,
it's easy for them to forget that power failures can occur. If possible, connect to
power from two poles and regularly test uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
systems. Increase UPS capacity when adding to the network.

6. Device filter dusting

Dust can clog device intake filters on network devices and air conditioners. Replace
filters when necessary. Clogged filters can decrease airflow, which causes the
temperature to rise. Hotter devices run slower and use more energy.

7. Cable organization

Organize cables, and keep them where they won't be dislodged by a custodian or
someone tripping over one when walking by. Critical networks have been taken
down by these types of accidents.
Changes in technology have introduced new types of devices and management, but
network maintenance tasks have always been necessary and are unlikely to change
a great deal in the future.

On Servers and Workstations

 Check for and install Windows updates.

 Check for and install Office updates.
 Check Windows event logs, and correct ALL errors and potential issues
identified there.
 Check for games, memory-intensive screen savers, and other programs that
shouldn’t be installed. It’s especially important that no one install/play games
or run other programs directly from the server; this can seriously affect
performance. If any inappropriate programs are found, uninstall them and
notify management if necessary.
 Check with users to see if they are experiencing any computer or software
problems.
 Periodically clean machines internally.

On Workstations Only

 Periodically defragment the hard drive.

 Regularly run Spybot and Ad-aware to scan for and remove ad and spyware.
(This should be unnecessary on servers since users should never browse the
internet directly from a server.)

On the Servers Only

 Monitor drive space on the server and on the file server.

 Maintain regular, rotating network backups that include the server backup
folder, QuickBooks data files, and any other key data. (However, do NOT
directly back up from any hard drive on the server; only back up from the
backup folder server writes to your network.)
 Store copies of backups off-site.

General

 Check the firewall, making sure ports are closed except as needed for server
and your other applications.
 Setup and maintain spam filtering.
 Make sure each computer has adequate memory, processor, hard drive,
space, etc., and suggest an upgrade plan to periodically replace obsolete
machines.
 Organize all software by computer/user so you know what you have and so
you can quickly find it if you need to reinstall any software.
