understanding of concepts and principles in setting up computer servers. It gives you a

clear picture on how to able to set up computer servers based on acceptable standards and
hardware.

In order for you to finish this module successfully you have to understand clearly
and follow the directions correctly.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. create user folder in accordance with Network operating system features;
2. configure user access level based on NOS features;
3. established network access level
4. perform security.check in accordance with established network access policies/end-
user requirements;

Types of Network Operating Systems
1. Peer-to-peer network (P2P) Direct
operating system users are allowed to Communication
share resources and files located on their
computers and access shared resources
from others.
or
"Peer-to-Peer"

2. Client-server network ·~-----

Client/Server Network
operating systems 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.

• Centralized servers are more stable. • Ease of setup

• Less hardware needed, no server
• Security is provided through the
need be acquired
server.
• New technology and hardware can be
easily integrated into the system.
• Hardware and the 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 • No central location for storage

costs. • Less security than the client-
• Dependence on a central location for server model
operation.
• Requires regular maintenance and
