hecked to see what HAL was installed and saw that the computer had an Intel processor installed in it. The next exercise had us use the registry’s find key command to search the registry. I did a search for the word windows. The final exercise had us view the registry on our partners’ computer. To do this you open regedt32 and use select computer from the registry menu. I used the registry on my partners’ computer to find out that there is a 3Com NIC installed in that computer.Lab 6: Working with Dynamic StorageThe first thing the lab had us do was use Disk Management to upgrade to a dynamic disk from a basic disk.

The second time I installed Windows 2000 Professional I was sure to leave about 9 GB of unallocated space. I was now ready to upgrade to a dynamic disk by right clicking my hard drive from the Computer Management window. The next part of the lab had us create a simple volume, which is created from unallocated disk space. I made a simple volume of 50 MB. The next exercise had us create a custom console in mmc. I added the Disk Management snap-in and pointed to my partner’s computer and saved it as Remote Disk Man. Finally I used the console I just created to create a simple volume on my partners’ computer. Lab 7: Configuring TCP/IPAll of lab seven worked with configuring TCP/IP different ways. In the first exercise I viewed and verified that my computers TCP/IP configuration was correct. I opened a command prompt and ran ipconfig /all to view my current TCP/IP configuration. I then did a ping of m...
