✅ Step 4: Configure MAC Address Filtering (Allow List)

In the DHCP console, expand the scope you created.

Right-click Filters under the scope and choose New Filter.

Ensure that only devices matching the AABB pattern will receive leases.

✅ Step 6: Test and Verify

Use a test client with a MAC address starting with AABB to ensure it receives an IP address in the 192.168.1.190–192.168.1.200 range.

Use ipconfig /renew on the client, or check the DHCP leases in the Address Leases section.

TASK 5

???? Objective:

Configure a Group Policy Preference to create a shortcut to \\srvi.contoso.com\data on the desktop of users in the Server Admins OU.

Step-by-Step Guide: Using Group Policy Preferences to Create a Desktop Shortcut

✅ Step 1: Open Group Policy Management Console (GPMC)

Log in to a DC or a management computer with RSAT installed.

Open Group Policy Management (gpmc.msc).

✅ Step 2: Create a New GPO

In the GPMC console, expand the forest and the domain (e.g., contoso.com).

Right-click the OU named Server Admins and select Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here.

Name the GPO, e.g., Desktop Shortcut for Server Admins.

✅ Step 3: Edit the GPO

Right-click the newly created GPO and select Edit.

This opens the Group Policy Management Editor.

✅ Step 4: Navigate to User Preferences

In the editor, expand:

User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Shortcuts.

✅ Step 5: Create the Shortcut

Right-click Shortcuts and select New > Shortcut.

In the New Shortcut Properties window:

Action: Create

Name: Data Folder

Target Type: File System Object

Location: Desktop

Target Path: \\srvi.contoso.com\data

Optionally, set an icon or description if you want.

✅ Step 6: Configure Item-Level Targeting (Optional)

If you want to limit this shortcut strictly to specific users/groups, click the Common tab.

Check Item-level targeting and configure conditions (optional).

For this scenario, linking the GPO to the Server Admins OU is usually sufficient.

✅ Step 7: Close and Update

Close the editor.

In GPMC, ensure the GPO is linked to the Server Admins OU.

Force a Group Policy Update on client computers:

On a client computer:

gpupdate /force

Or wait for the next Group Policy refresh cycle.

✅ Step 8: Verify

Log in as a user in the Server Admins OU.

The shortcut to \\srvi.contoso.com\data should appear on the desktop.
