Network Security and Architecture

You work as a Network Administrator for Infonet Inc. The company has a Windows Server 2008 domain-based network. The network includes three Windows Server 2008 member servers and 150 Windows Vista client computers. Under the company’s security policy, you apply Windows Firewall settings to the computers on the network. You are now troubleshooting a connectivity problem that might be caused by Windows Firewall. What should you do to identify connections that Windows Firewall allows or blocks?

  • A Configure Network address translation (NAT).
  • B Disable Windows firewall logging.
  • C Configure Internet Protocol Security (IPSec).
  • D Enable Windows firewall logging.
