This week I continued my work on my part of the presentation and I finished I had to write and present about IIS

Week 15

Week 15
This week I started working on the PowerPoint that we have to present to the class. We were all set our own bit to write and present.

Week 14

Week 14
I started designing the website, I have got a template from the internet and just edited the made up site it took a while to find the right one and to edit it but it looks ok although it is only 3 pages

Week 13

Week 13
I did not attend this class

Week 12

Week 12
This week I continued the practical part of the assignment by configuring and installing windows server 2008, I also configured IIS, but towards the end of the class the virtual machine stuffed up and the whole server is ruined

Week 11

Week 11
This week I started the practical side of our project, I installed Windows 2008 server I also configured the server and I started to install IIS before the end of class.

Week 10

Week 10
This week I looked on the internet for information about Motor companies and I also lookd for hardware that we could use.
Week 9
This week i studied for Novell test so i did little to no project

Week8

Week 8
I contued look for hardware that we could use for our Network, I found compleate servers that would be sutable for our network, I also found serveral compleate clients that we could use
Week 7
Studied for novell test so i did no project work

Week 6

Week 6
I had a look at hardware for our Network, I found several harware pieces four our servers and Clients ioncluding motherboads, harddrives, and processors that we could use I also found routers switches and printers that were sutable for our company

Week 5

Week 5
This week I researched about clusters, what types of clusters, how we could set one up and what advantages and disadvantages there are of having cluster servers.

Week 4

Week 4
I did not attend this class

Week 3

Week 3
This week we all researched other car motor companies to have a look at what the did and how they did it. We also got ideas for our website that we could use.

Week 2

Week 2
I did not attend this class

Week 1

Week 1
Today we formed our groups and got told what we were to do for our project, we elected a leader and we had a look on the internet for other can companies. There was not much we could do.
