Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a UDP protocol that uses port 161 to monitor and collect detailed information on any network device supporting the SNMP protocol. All Windows servers support SNMP and we’ll show you how to easily install and configure SNMP on your Windows 2016 or 2012 server, including Read Only (RO) or Read Write (RW) SNMP community string.
In our example we will enable the SNMP agent and configure a SNMP community string to allow our Network Monitoring System (NMS) monitor our server resources.

A Windows Active Directory Certification Authority server (AD CA), also known as a Certificate Authority, is an essential service to every organization’s Active Directory as it can manage, issue, revoke and renew digital certificates used to verify the identity of users, computers and other network services.
This guide will show you how to quickly install and setup a Certification Authority server on Windows 2016 server. The guide includes the installation of the Certification Authority Web Enrollment service to allow your organization to request, renew and download certificates via a simple web interface.
Execution Time: 10 - 15 minutes
Launch Server Manager and go to Manage > Add Roles and Features:
At the next screen select simply click on the Next button:
Ensure Role-based or feature-based installation is selected and click on Next:
At the next screen select the destination server from the available Server Pool and click on the Next button:
Next, tick the Active Directory Certificate Services from the available roles:
Times have changed now and HOME is the new office. Now, everyone works at their comfort and in fact online all throught the day and night. This mandates the IT infrastructure to be up and running 24/7. As an IT Manager, administrator or systems/network engineer you would have done a lot of changes on your network to ensure all your employees could work from home like they used to do from office. You would have opened up your VPN access to larger amount of users, modified network configs frequently, scaled up and down services based on their criticality, and so on. All these could have potentially expose your network to a lot of threats and performance issues. Attend this FREE webinar to learn how you can incorporate such changes efficiently and run your IT better and safer. Click Here to Register.
In this webinar, we will discuss how to:

Software Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) is changing the way that businesses connect to the cloud. With SD-WAN, organizations can move away from closed, proprietary hardware solutions, bringing flexibility and potential cost savings to their operations.
And yet, while SD-WAN technology seems like a solution to many of the problems that businesses are having connecting to the cloud, there are still some concerns around security and that is where Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) comes into the picture.
Before we dive any deeper, let's take a quick look at what we've got covered:
Software Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) is a seismic shift from traditional WAN technology, where proprietary hardware and software are replaced with virtualization technology that can abstract networking from hardware. The “Software Defined” part of an SD-WAN uses virtualization to create a WAN architecture that allows enterprises to leverage any combination of transport services, including MPLS, LTE and broadband internet services, and create a fabric of connectivity that connects users to applications. SD-WANs use a centralized control plane to intelligently direct traffic across the WAN, increasing application performance, resulting in enhanced user experience, increased business productivity and reduced costs for IT.

The Secure Access Service Edge, better known as SASE, is a technology proposed by Research Giant Gartner. The research house defines SASE as a cloud architecture that converges various network and security functions into a single, cloud security and networking platform. SASE goes beyond what an SD-WAN can offer by incorporating security protocols and increases the reach of the network with support for mobile devices, IoT devices, and other devices that may not have a persistent connection to the network. What’s more, SASE can securely bridge cloud services into the SD-WAN, allowing branch offices and remote users to access services from most any locations. SASE is delivered as a service, minimizing or eliminating the need for specialized hardware or security appliances.
The SASE model allows IT teams to easily connect and secure all of their organization’s networks and users in an agile, cost-effective and scalable way.
