CET 1019-Online Practical

To complete this exam, you need to have the VMs Svr1, Svr2, and Wrk created and have the appropriate operating system installed to each. If
you haven’t done this already, refer to the document on Moodle. The VMs need to be set up prior to completing this exam.

For each of your VMs, you should be able to log in with the Administrator account:
 Username: Administrator
 Password: Pa$$w0rd (or whatever password you set for the Administrator account on each of your VMs when you created them.)

If you receive error messages during the exam, you can use the web or your textbook (Mindtap) to troubleshoot the problem. This exam must
be completed independently, however. You are not permitted to discuss the exam with others during the exam session.

Your professor cannot offer troubleshooting advice during the exam. This exam is an assessment of your Windows Server administration and
troubleshooting skills.

If you get stuck on an error message or don’t finish the exam, you should still insert screen captures where you can. You can still receive partial
marks, even if something isn’t working exactly as it should be.

All screenshots must be of your entire screen, including the taskbar and date/time. If your screenshot doesn’t show the taskbar or date/time, I
cannot confirm this screenshot is unique and your work, and you will receive no marks for it.
