Answers
| 1. | A. Even though the company s resources are not centralized, the administrative staff is centralized. This falls under the centralized administrative/decentralized resources administrative model, which is still considered a centralized model. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2. | A. The powers-that-be would like to keep the same administrative structure that they have become accustomed to, but that may not work out. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3. | C. Using the hybrid administrative model, the current administrative staff can still control the servers and perform most of their administrative responsibilities by using tools that can perform remote administration. Support staff at the remote locations can have some administrative responsibilities and be available on site to perform functions that the central admin staff cannot because they are not on site. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

When reviewing the case study, the only resources that were mentioned at this point included the Exchange 5.5 servers at the home office and the manufacturing site, the SQL 7.0 server, the accounting server, and the file and print server. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5. |
Currently, the administration model is centralized/centralized and the only administrative staff in place are the headquarters administrators. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6. |
Due to the fact that the current administration model is centralized/centralized, you can easily match up the resources with the single administrative group . | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 7. |
In the company s expansion efforts, they have identified the resources that will be put into place at each of the locations. New resources include Exchange servers and file and print servers at each of the sites. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 8. |
New administrative staff will be identified at each of the new locations. Although these administrators will not have as much control over resources as the corporate administrators, they will still need rights to perform tasks on the systems located at their site. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 9. |
Once the resources have been identified, the new administrative control matrix can be prepared. All of the resources will still be administered by the headquarters administrators, and each of the site s admins will also have administrative access to the servers in their location. |
