The organization has four locations that will be visited by an internal auditor next month.

- 4. While designing the access, you get multiple reports of slow response times on the network. You suspect that one or more domain controllers (DCs) do not have the required hardware resources to operate properly. It is possible that the hardware running a DC has been replaced with an older server that may have been purchased to run Windows Server® 2003. What tool will you use to test your suspicion?Option 3: Managing Access to an Active Directory Environment (Advanced) Assume for this assignment that Riordan Manufacturing is running Windows Server® 2008 R2. Riordan Manufacturing has four locations. Recent visits by members of the executive team to these locations have generated a new set of access requirements. These are the rules you have been provided: · President and CEO Dr. Michael Riordan is the only person authorized to have full access to all files and equipment at all locations. · Senior Vice President Kenneth Collins and Chief Operating Officer Hugh McCauley are to have access to one PC and one printer/scanner/fax located in the management office of each location. · Executive Assistant Jane McCall is to have access to the printer/scanner/fax machine located in the management offices of each location. · The managers of each location are to have access to Executive Assistant Jane McCall’s executive office printer/scanner/fax machine. Design group objects to implement group policies to manage access to these resources. Use either a table as in Option 1 or graphical representation as in Option 2. Working with the Hangzhou, China network, you notice that the single domain has recently been organized using four subnets.

Module 9 Lecture Self-Promotion Mediums Self-promotion for a consultant may require the ability to find opportunities for pro-bono speeches, and submitting press releases, writing advertisements, designing a web site, and deciding upon which networking opportunities to capitalize. The following are some advertising mediums and how to take advantage of them. • Pro-bono speeches and press releases are great, low cost ways to showcase skills. • While advertisements don’t typically bring in sales, they do help to create an image. The more you can get your name in the paper, the better—this is
- 6. called branding. • A web site is essential in today's market, as it helps with branding. Clients expect consultants to have a web site. Web sites replace brochures in many ways and are a passive way of generating leads. • Business Networking International (BNI) is a well established organization similar to Rotaries but the focus is on lead generation. The effectiveness of each medium can be determined by identifying the target market and how effectively each medium can reach this target. Sales and Pricing Sales starts with prospecting for new customers. A sale is a process, not a onetime event. Sales is a numbers game; therefore, having an optimistic outlook can assist a business owner as she or he receives rejection from potential customers. Prospecting: This is, as mentioned previously, a numbers game. Hence, “if you make the contacts, you will do the business” (Vogel, 2005, p. 47). Prospecting may include making

Setting the Fee: The consultant should benchmark to set charges including per hour, per day, or per ½ day charges. They must ask how much other consultants charge in the area and industry. There are different way to determine fees. However, charging too little reflects OL 635 Module 9 1 http://www.bni.com/ http://www.rotary.org/en/Pages/ridefault.aspx badly upon the credibility of the consultant, but charging too much may prevent contracts from being made.
- 8. Inner and Outer SOI There is a saying that goes like this: “It is not what you know; it is who you know and how you use them .” This module helps identify personal SOI and utilize it to its fullest potential. There is another saying that goes like this: “The average person knows about 150 people that will be with you when you are wed or dead!” This is the sphere of influence of a consultant! Unfortunately, only about ¼ will need his or her services and about ¼ of that quarter will hire them. That’s about 10 sales over the lifetime of the business, but definitely not enough to stay in business. How can a consultant capitalize on their sphere of influence in other ways? A common activity to help a consultant determine who they are trying to reach is for them to draw a small circle in the middle of a piece of paper— this is their SOI. Then they draw a bigger circle around the smaller circle—this is their SOI’s SOI. This outer circle is who they are trying to reach. For example: imagine that Sam used to be a sales trainer for a real estate franchise. Sam's inner circle consists of the franchisees that recognize his name when he calls. All of these people are in the real estate business, but Sam cannot

However, each of these real estate professionals know mortgage officers, home inspectors, cleaning crews, lawyers, title searchers, insurance agents, and so on. By asking each real estate professional to provide him with the name of one other person in each area, Sam will have credibility when he calls the new person. Also, if Sam has done business for one industry and that industry is connected to another industry, he has a better chance of being seen as credible. It is the “who do you know?” game. Who does the consultant know that might have a need for his or her services? Who does the consultant know that might be interested in meeting him or her for a cup of coffee? 2 OL 635 Module 9 References: Vogel, L. (2005). Prospecting for the sale of consulting services.
