SCENARIO
You have been hired as a consultant at a company. The company previously had an SQL server and Active Directory server configured throughout two separate Windows 2012 servers. However, all the drives (including backups) were destroyed due to unforeseen circumstances, and you need to write PowerShell scripts that can accomplish all the required tasks from the local server.
REQUIREMENTS
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).
A. Create a PowerShell script named “Restore-AD.ps1” within the attached “Requirements2” folder. Create a comment block and include your first and last name along with your student ID.
B. Write the PowerShell commands in “Restore-AD.ps1” that perform all the following functions without user interaction:
1. Check for the existence of an Active Directory Organizational Unit (OU) named “Finance.” Output a message to the console that indicates if the OU exists or if it does not. If it already exists, delete it and output a message to the console that it was deleted.
2. Create an OU named “Finance.” Output a message to the console that it was created.
3. Import the financePersonnel.csv file (found in the attached “Requirements2” directory) into your Active Directory domain and directly into the finance OU. Be sure to include the following properties:
• First Name
• Last Name
• Display Name (First Name + Last Name, including a space between)
• Postal Code
• Office Phone
• Mobile Phone
4. Include this line at the end of your script to generate an output file for submission:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase “ou=Finance,dc=consultingfirm,dc=com” -Properties DisplayName,PostalCode,OfficePhone,MobilePhone > .AdResults.txt
C. Create a PowerShell script named “Restore-SQL.ps1” within the attached “Requirements2” folder. Create a comment block and include your first and last name along with your student ID.
D. Write the PowerShell commands in a script named “Restore-SQL.ps1” that perform the following functions without user interaction:
1. Check for the existence of a database named ClientDB. Output a message to the console that indicates if the database exists or if it does not. If it already exists, delete it and output a message to the console that it was deleted.
2. Create a new database named “ClientDB” on the Microsoft SQL server instance. Output a message to the console that the database was created.
3. Create a new table and name it “Client_A_Contacts” in your new database. Output a message to the console that the table was created.
4. Insert the data (all rows and columns) from the “NewClientData.csv” file (found in the attached “Requirements2” folder) into the table created in part D3.
5. Include this line at the end of your script to generate the output file SqlResults.txt for submission:
Invoke-Sqlcmd -Database ClientDB –ServerInstance .SQLEXPRESS -Query ‘SELECT * FROM dbo.Client_A_Contacts’ > .SqlResults.txt
E. Apply exception handling using try-catch. Output any error messages to the console.
F. Run your Restore-AD.ps1 script from this console and take a screenshot of the output.
1. Run your Restore-SQL.ps1 script from this console and take a screenshot of the output.
G. Compress the “Requirements2” folder as a ZIP archive. When you are ready to submit your final task, run the Get-FileHash cmdlet against the “Requirements2” ZIP archive. Note the hash value and place it into the comment section when you submit your task.
1. Include all the following files intact within the “Requirements2” folder, including the original files and any additional files you created to support your script:
i. “Restore-AD.ps1”
ii. “Restore-SQL.ps1”
iii. “AdResults.txt”
iv. “SqlResults.txt”
v. Screenshots from Parts F and F1
H. Apply scripting standards throughout your script, including the addition of comments that describe the behavior of the script.
