(b) Configure a DNS Server as a root name server in Windows 2000 Server.
Explain with step by step procedure
DF
ANS.- Configuring a DNS Server as a root name server in Windows 2000 Server involves several steps.
Please note that Windows 2000 Server is quite outdated and no longer supported by Microsoft. For
modern scenarios, you should use a more recent Windows Server version. However, if you still need to
RP
configure DNS on Windows 2000 Server for educational purposes, here's a high-level step-by-step
procedure:
1. Install DNS Server Role:

HE
 Open "Control Panel" > "Add or Remove Programs".
 Click on "Add/Remove Windows Components".

OT
 Check "Networking Services" and click "Details".
 Check "Domain Name System (DNS)" and complete the installation.
2. Open DNS Management Console:
 Go to "Start" > "Administrative Tools" > "DNS".
 The DNS Management Console will open.
3. Configure Root Zone:
 In the DNS Management Console, right-click the server name and select "New
Zone".
 Choose "Primary zone" and select "Store the zone in Active Directory".
 Name the zone as "." (a single dot) which represents the root zone.
0 5
 Allow updates as desired.
909
4. Create NS Record:
 Inside the root zone, create a new "New Host (A or AAAA)" record.
 Leave the Name field blank to represent the root domain.
922
 Enter the IP address of your DNS server.
 Create another record, this time choose "Name Server (NS)" and leave the name
-99
blank.
 Add the name of your DNS server as the server hosting this NS record.
5. Configure Forwarders:
DF
 Right-click the server name and choose "Properties".
 Go to the "Forwarders" tab.

RP
 Enter the IP addresses of other DNS servers (typically your ISP's DNS servers) to
which queries can be forwarded if not resolved locally.
HE
6. Test the Configuration:
 Use tools like "nslookup" or "dig" to verify that your DNS server responds to
queries for various domains.
OT
Remember that DNS configurations can be complex, and the steps above might vary slightly
based on your exact environment and requirements. Additionally, Windows 2000 Server is
highly outdated, and for modern usage, you should consider using a more recent version of
Windows Server.
Q.2 - (a) Write a shell script to delete the files of "mpeg" or "mp3" from a user's
home directory, as a system administrator.
ANS.- Shell script to delete "mpeg" or "mp3" files:
Here's a shell script that you can use to delete files with the extensions "mpeg" or "mp3" from a
user's home directory. Please exercise caution when using scripts that involve file deletion, as
5
you can accidentally delete important files.

909
922
-99
Save this script to a file (e.g., delete_media_files.sh), give it execute permissions (chmod +x
delete_media_files.sh), and then run it with superuser privileges (sudo
DF
./delete_media_files.sh). It will search for and delete files with the extensions "mpeg" or
"mp3" within the user's home directory.
RP
Remember that running scripts with administrative privileges should be done carefully to avoid
unintended consequences.
HE
(b) As a Windows 2000 Administrator, enable and configure IPsec policy on local
OT
computer. Also, enable it for entire domain. Explain with step by step
procedure.
ANS.- Enabling and Configuring IPsec Policy on Windows 2000:
Enabling and configuring IPsec policies on Windows 2000 involves several steps. Please note
that Windows 2000 is quite old and may not be supported anymore. Additionally, configuring
IPsec policies can be complex and may require careful planning to avoid disrupting network
communication. Here's a general outline of the steps:
1. Open Local Security Policy:
 Press Win + R, type secpol.msc, and press Enter.
2. Create IPsec Policy:
 In the Local Security Settings window, expand Security Policies and click on IP
Security Policies on Local Computer.
0 5
 In the right pane, click Action and then Create IP Security Policy.
909
 Follow the wizard to create a new policy. You'll need to specify conditions,
authentication methods, encryption methods, etc.
3. Assign IPsec Policy:
922
 Right-click on the newly created policy and select Assign.
 Configure the policy to match your requirements.

-99
4. Enable IPsec:
 Right-click on the policy and select Properties.
 Go to the General tab and check the box that says Activate the default response
DF
rule.
5. Enforce Policy:
RP
 Go to the Rules tab and click Add Rule.
 Follow the wizard to create a rule for enforcing the policy. You can choose the
filter lists, filter actions, etc.
HE
6. Enable for Entire Domain:
 If you want to enable IPsec for the entire domain, you can use Group Policy:
OT
 Open the Group Policy Management Console from Administrative Tools.
 Navigate to the desired Organizational Unit (OU) or the root of the

domain.
 Right-click and edit the appropriate Group Policy Object (GPO).
 Navigate to Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings >

Security Settings > IP Security Policies on Active Directory.
Please note that these steps are very general and may not cover all the intricacies of
configuring IPsec on Windows 2000. Additionally, given the age of Windows 2000, you might
encounter compatibility issues or security vulnerabilities. It's recommended to consider
upgrading to a more modern and supported operating system if possible.

Q.3 - (a) Write a shell script to delete all files from a folder which are having
numeric digit in the file name.
ANS.- Sure, here's a shell script that will delete all files from a folder that have a numeric digit
922
in their file name:
-99
DF
RP
HE
Replace "/path/to/your/folder" with the actual path to the folder containing the
OT
files you want to delete. Please be cautious while running this script, as it will
permanently delete the files.
(b) As a Windows 2000 Administrator, enable and configure IPsec policy on local
computer. Also, enable it for entire domain. Explain with step by step procedure
ANS.- a general outline of the steps you might need to follow to enable IPsec policy on a Windows
system:
1. Open the IPsec Policy Management Console:

-99
4. Configure IPsec for Domain:
 For configuring IPsec for the entire domain, you might need to use Group Policy:
DF
 Open the "Active Directory Users and Computers" management console.
 Create or edit a Group Policy Object (GPO) that applies to the desired
RP
domain or organizational unit.
 Navigate to "Computer Configuration" > "Policies" > "Windows Settings"

> "Security Settings" > "IP Security Policies on Active Directory."
HE
 Right-click and create a new IP Security Policy, then configure the settings
similarly to the local policy.
Please note that Windows 2000 is not only outdated but also highly insecure due to lack of
OT
updates and security patches. It's strongly recommended to upgrade to a more modern and
supported operating system to ensure the security of your network and data.
Q.4 - (a) In Unix/Linux system, access your account available at a remote
