ABSTRACT

I am doing my degree in Computer Science major in Software Engineering at University Tenaga


Nasional. Currently I am at the end of 2nd year semester where I need to go for industrial
training. I had a placement in e-Genting Holdings Sdn. Bhd. at Wisma Genting, Kuala Lumpur
and without any hassles I have successfully done it.

The main reason I chose e-Genting Holdings Sdn. Bhd. to do my trainee program is because I
wanted to get exposed to new working environment, experience and learn new IT related skills.
Besides, I decided to be independent and chose to work in a place which located far from my
campus. So Wisma Genting was my choice and I got it successfully. I challenged myself to learn
new IT skills and be a professional staff as I get exposed to new working environment and
lifestyle.

SYNOPSIS

This report is prepared on the basis of three- month practical experience at e-Genting Sdn. Bhd.,
Kuala Lumpur. This Internship has helped me to developed my confidence and improve my IT
related skills. Besides that, I had also received some useful critique from my host supervisor
during my trainee program in e-Genting. I had gain a lot of experience during my industrial
training program. I have learned to apply the IT skills and theories that I have learned in my
class. Since my trainee program is for about 3 months, I was assigned to few works like
resolving cases, performing windows migration, encryption for laptops and etc. On my 1st day of
training, one of my colleague who joined intern earlier than us explained everything about my
department. Do’s and don’ts was further elaborated by him in order for us to be more conscious
on things that we does as an intern there.

My job scope can be narrowed to five main projects. First of all is user case. User will be having
some technical problems in their PC or laptops. Since not all users are from IT backgrounds, they
need us to assist them. So they need to lock a case regarding their problem with software, PC or
laptops. All I need to do is to check Remedy (Software) for cases locked by users and need to
solve it by going on site or by remote their PC to solve it.

Secondly my main job was to perform migration from windows XP to windows 7 pro. This need
to be done manually by going on site. I need to backup all user files since its company policy just
to ensure no any missing files complained by users. Then all I need to do is formatting their PC’s
and change the operating system running windows XP to windows 7. All the standard
applications need to be installed and domain need to be joined. I further need to activate the

3
windows and transfer back all the backup files to the migrated PC. Printer need to be joined
again. This is the trickiest part because everything is in server for us to add it back to user PC.
There is chances to get some problems.

Another main job was that, encrypting laptops. It means, securing hard disk by performing
encryption on it. So that unauthorised users can never erase or get access to the hard disk. This
was done with the help of Symantec encryption software. Since this is not a major project for us
to focus on, we have given this project to another department after some time. We had a lot other
projects in pending.

Besides that, I need to troubleshoot hardware and software. Whenever user had some issues with
their PC, we need to rush to their place to solve it. Sometimes I’ll remote if it is only related to
software. As if related to hardware, I’ll bring the CPU, or laptop to my department and will fix it.
Sometimes it will be fixed at user site if it doesn’t consume much time.

Last but not least, I’ll be assigned to setup new PC’s or laptops. So I need to install standard
software and custom software requested by users. Once after settle with that, I need to go to user
place and have to perform a full backup on their current PC or laptop and have to transfer it to
new PC or laptop. Later then domain and printer need to be joined to user PC. That’s all about
my job scope and I hope I have given a clear picture on how it works.

CONCLUSION/ RECOMMENDATION

Recommendation for the e-Genting Holding Sdn. Bhd.

e-Genting Holding Sdn. Bhd. is a great learning company for interns. It helps to improve and
develops working skills. I will definitely recommend e-Genting to all interns and I hope they
keep hiring interns with different educational background, to help build and improve their
knowledge apart from their studies.

Recommendation for University Tenaga Nasional

I would like to recommend Uniten, to extend the duration of internship program from 3 months
to 6 months. This is because most of the companies are afraid to hire interns due to risk of giving
long pending projects. Besides that, I would also like to recommend Uniten, to move backward
this industrial training subject to final year, final semester. This is because most of the company
are expecting interns to be a final year students due to the reason they might needing them to
work there as permanent staff. I hope Uniten will consider on all of these recommendation given
here.
