Novell Certification

mcsenow — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 03:35:56 +0000

Today in the morning, I was researching on some IT certifications and went through Novell’s certification information.

I saw there many certifications and also Novell Administrator certifications. The certification, that I got attracted to is 050-686 which is on of the most advanced Novell’s certification in current time. I am interested to take 050-686 exam now. It will definitely help an aspirant to have a great amount of knowledge of Administering a Novell’s network.

I also go to the sites where I can get guidance for certifications, such as brain dumps, pass4sure and many more. But truly, they provide real exam questions that might come for only one time in an exam. If you really want to have knowledge of these fields you should study yourself, this will enhance your knowledge.

You will wonder to know that I have found a site which really helps you for self-study. This site provides facts, how to’s, scenarios, simulations. Based on the autor’s self-study.

This site also claims that if you get failed in your exam they will pay back your money without any questions. You have to do just one thing that mail your marks sheet to the site. There is no time limit for claiming payback. You can inform them at any time and they will refund….It’s great.

What is Authorization Manager?

mcsenow — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 03:29:48 +0000

Authorization Manager in Windows Server 2003 is used to implement role-based security. Administrators can define roles and the tasks those roles can perform by using Authorization Manager. It can nest roles to inherit characteristics from other roles, and can define application groups. Moreover, Authorization Manager lets the administrators use scripts to modify permissions dynamically, and it allows wrapping the security logic in a security policy that can be stored in Active Directory. Authorization Manager also includes an easy-to-use API for running access checks.

How should an administrator plan a security group strategy?

mcsenow — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 03:26:57 +0000

For planning a security group strategy, various user groups are required. The Windows network supports the following types of user groups:

Local groups
Domain local groups
Domain global groups
Universal groups

According to the needs of an organization, users are organized in groups. These groups can be created on the basis of location, permission requirement, and administrative requirements. Granting rights and creating groups are planned to reduce errors and administrative efforts. Microsoft recommends the following structure of groups and rights for planning a security group strategy:

Create universal groups for groups that contain members from multiple domains in more than one forest. Make global groups members of the universal groups. Use the universal groups when providing access to resources across multiple forests.
Create domain global groups for groups that contain members from a single domain, but that will be granted access to resources within other domains. Make universal groups members of domain global groups as applicable. Make users members of domain global groups.
Create domain local groups for groups that contain members from a single domain whether or not they will be granted access to resources within other domains. Make domain global groups members for the appropriate domain global groups. Grant domain-wide rights to domain local groups.
Create local groups on member servers and computers. Make domain local groups members of local groups. Grant local rights to local groups.
