Computer networks - network topology, protocols, client-server communication. Servers in network. Maintenance of MS Windows and Linux. Focused on Linux server administration (70%), mainly Debian. Training on dedicated computers (students will install virtual servers as one of tasks).

Microsoft Windows

Sequence of executing of MS Windows XP operating system (bios, bootable CD and device)
Registers, what does it mean and how to use them
Microsoft Network
User management, directories and printers sharing, remote access (file and printer access, remote desktop)
Antivirus and antispam software, computer maintenance
Devices, drivers and patches

Linux

The community, GPL, copyrights
The installation, distributions.
Terminal console. Bash commands. Important directories.
System restarting (rc.*), runlevels, the /etc directory, bash scripts, setting of system variables.
Recapitulation - CGI, C++ program as filter, the perl language, php as a script environment.
Apache, FTP and mail server configuration
User administration
The robots - cron and Mayordomo clone
Remote desktop and X-window terminal/server
Authentication, TLS/SSL, PKI, LDAP, Shibboleth
Linux in MS Windows network - Samba
User-prepared devices attached to computer, maintenance from web pages
Virtual servers

Networks

Hardware for networks (coax, twist, fiber, wireless technology)
Protocols (IP, TCP/IP, IPX; Ethernet, Ethernet frames, WiFi)
Client/server - sense and task of the server
Firewall as a standalone computer. Firewall settings, ip sharing (NAT, DNAT, masquerade).
Logical network

Novell Netware (if anyone interested)

Bindary and NDS
Users, trusties
Command line prompt commands and batch files
MS Windows clients
File locking and sharing
Creating network installable application

The order or range will be adjusted to match the next laboratory task.

Install MS Windows from the CD/DVD. We can try to install version from 10 to XP (8.1 recommended). Installation should include users, administrators, device configuration, patches and updates, antivir system, necessary environment configuration (i.e. NumLock, hiding of extension settings, etc.).
HW installation. Changing harddrives, preparing cables, setting of a separated network (course on real computers, harddrives dedicated for the course allows hardware sharing).
Install selected Linux distribution (Debian or Slackware recommended). Settings, as for MS Windows.
Text mode console commands. Cron, scripts.
Work with server - SQL, Apache, FTP/SFTP, mail. Mail robots.
Server as a firewall, ip sharing (NAT, DNAT, masquerade). Server behind the firewall.
Novell Netware administration, if anyone interested. Novell is not used for many years, but is useful to describe, how the server can work.
