Case Projects
Case Project 1-1: Recommending a Network Model
1. You’re installing a new network for CSM Tech Publishing, a new publisher of technical books and
training materials. There will be 10 client computers running Windows 11, and CSM Tech
Publishing plans to run a web-based order processing/inventory program that for now is used
only by in-house employees while they’re on-site. CSM Tech Publishing wants to be able to
manage client computer and user policies and allow employees to share documents. Sign-in and
security should be centrally managed. What network model—workgroup or domain—should be
used? Explain your answer, including any server roles you may need to install.
Solution
In this scenario, you want to manage client computer and user policies and have centrally
managed logon and security, so the domain model should be chosen. You will need to install the
Active Directory Domain Services role to make at least one domain controller.
Case Project 1-2: Preserving Disk Space
2. CSM Tech Publishing has been operating for six months, and business is good. You do a spot
check on server resources and find that RAM use is at 50 percent, which is fine, but the data
volume on the server used by employees to store and share documents is approaching 90
percent full. There are two volumes on this server: one for OS and program files and one for data
storage. You inspect the data volume and find that some users are storing large amounts of data
on the server. You check with the owner and determine that each user should require only about
4 GB of storage on the server for necessary documents. Because some users are clearly
exceeding this limit, you’re asked to come up with a solution. What file system option can you
use, and which file system format must be used with this option?
Solution
The file format should be NTFS, and disk quotas should be enabled on the data volume to restrict
the amount of space that users’ files can occupy on a volume.

3. The owner of CSM Tech Publishing is always thinking about how he can use technology to
improve the operation of his business. He read an article about cloud computing and has asked
you to explain what cloud computing is and whether he needs it now or in the future for more
efficient operations. He doesn’t want to lose the investment he has in his current network and
server hardware, so he is wondering if he can still leverage the cloud while keeping his
investment. Write a memo explaining what cloud computing is and how he can use his on-
premises equipment along with the cloud.
Solution
Cloud computing is a collection of technologies for abstracting the details of how applications,
storage, network, and other computing resources are delivered to users. One goal of cloud
computing is to abstract the details of how things get done so that people can concentrate on
their work instead of getting caught up in how the technology works. Cloud computing is a good
solution when users are accessing data and applications from remote and mobile devices
because the computing occurs on servers in the datacenter via virtualization technology. The
hybrid cloud allows a company to keep its investment in datacenter resources while leveraging
the cloud. The hybrid cloud uses common tools to manage resources in the local datacenter and
in the cloud.
CSM Tech Publishing should consider leveraging the cloud in a hybrid infrastructure so that it has
fault tolerance and can better serve mobile and remote users.

Active Directory Domain Services role to make at least one domain controller.
Case Project 1-2: Preserving Disk Space
2. CSM Tech Publishing has been operating for six months, and business is good. You do a spot
check on server resources and find that RAM use is at 50 percent, which is fine, but the data
volume on the server used by employees to store and share documents is approaching 90
percent full. There are two volumes on this server: one for OS and program files and one for data
storage. You inspect the data volume and find that some users are storing large amounts of data
on the server. You check with the owner and determine that each user should require only about
4 GB of storage on the server for necessary documents. Because some users are clearly
exceeding this limit, you’re asked to come up with a solution. What file system option can you
use, and which file system format must be used with this option?
Solution
The file format should be NTFS, and disk quotas should be enabled on the data volume to restrict
the amount of space that users’ files can occupy on a volume.

3. The owner of CSM Tech Publishing is always thinking about how he can use technology to
improve the operation of his business. He read an article about cloud computing and has asked
you to explain what cloud computing is and whether he needs it now or in the future for more
efficient operations. He doesn’t want to lose the investment he has in his current network and
server hardware, so he is wondering if he can still leverage the cloud while keeping his
investment. Write a memo explaining what cloud computing is and how he can use his on-
premises equipment along with the cloud.
Solution
Cloud computing is a collection of technologies for abstracting the details of how applications,
storage, network, and other computing resources are delivered to users. One goal of cloud
computing is to abstract the details of how things get done so that people can concentrate on
their work instead of getting caught up in how the technology works. Cloud computing is a good
solution when users are accessing data and applications from remote and mobile devices
because the computing occurs on servers in the datacenter via virtualization technology. The
hybrid cloud allows a company to keep its investment in datacenter resources while leveraging
the cloud. The hybrid cloud uses common tools to manage resources in the local datacenter and
in the cloud.
CSM Tech Publishing should consider leveraging the cloud in a hybrid infrastructure so that it has
fault tolerance and can better serve mobile and remote users.
