My personal feelings are whatever it takes, whatever is necessary to accomplish the mission, that is what I believe is essential for the information technology field.
I have performed Windows NT/2000 Server engineering for advanced service configurations (WINS, DNS, and DHCP) for about 4 years now. I can configure for dynamic addressing and am very familiar with the network services that can be added after a Windows NT Server installation. I have installed DHCP Server and used the DHCP Manager to manage scopes for the available range of IP addresses, made exclusions for the scope, and managed leases/reservations for the DHCP server. I have also performed name resolution administration with the WINS and DNS Managers. Later for Windows 2000, I've used the Windows 2000 Components Wizard, installed the DHCP console, created scopes, add/configure/activate superscopes and multicast scopes, monitored leasing and created DHCP reservations for clients.
Currently, I am studying for my CCN
