Assignment Description

In your own words, answer this unit’s discussion questions in a main post (recommended minimum 300 words), and respond to at least 2 peers’ postings (recommended minimum 75 words).

After you have reviewed the Assignment Details below, click the Discussion Board link under the My Work heading above to open the Discussion Board and make your post.

System administration involves a large number of tasks that require access to network servers and workstation computers. Scripting is commonly used for many of these tasks to reduce the labor and to also reduce the likelihood of mistakes. Many of the tasks require administrative access to the computers, and security must be maintained. Your IT group is currently working on a plan to automate as much of the administration work as possible using scripts, but they want to ensure that the security of all systems is maintained. You have been asked to investigate the issues surrounding security and the use of scripts in a network environment and report your findings to the IT group.

Use the Library and Internet to find information about maintaining security when using scripting for system administration in a network environment.
As part of your response to the IT group:
Identify at least 2 administrative IT tasks where scripting could be used but security would present an issue.
Describe a solution for each task that will maintain security and still allow a scripted solution for the task. You are not required to write any scripts for this discussion, but you should discuss how the security issues would be resolved if a script was applied to complete the task.
Include at least 1 reference to research sources.
Cite all references using APA format.
Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and format should be correct and professional.
Respond to at least 2 other classmates’ postings during the week.
