Week Sixteen.Three - Configuration of Software and System Applications

Configuration of Software and System Applications


Creation of Accounts

All the accounts for the system have now been created along with there designated permissions, this is to prevent the standard users from altering any security, windows features or application settings.  


Configuration of Google Drive

The settings I have set up for the shared Google drive, will enable the staff to access the resources within the three folders. This will be providing that the user as the appropriate access rights, now although this is not as secure as managing accounts and permission setting in Active Directory, this method is ideal for a small team and they prefer not to have a complicated system. 



Configuration of Anti-Virus & Firewall Settings

Windows 10 have its own built in Anti-virus and firewall security system, this is called Windows Defender. As you can see above, I have configured the settings for the best level of protection for a business of this size. The firewall is enable to monitor all in-coming and out-going traffic and the Anti-virus to protect the machines from becoming infected with a virus.

Configuration of Windows Update

Windows update has been scheduled to work what best for the staff, downloads of updates and installs have been set for lunch time everyday and restarts have been enabled for the end of the day if required. Windows updates are ran to updated any old drives, check for security patches and fixes.
