 INTRODUCTION
Enterprise network setup with VPN is a solution strategy that a
large scale company can employ and gain benefits from it.
With this map if there is an IP based blocking in some place (specific
ISP, etc.) one of the most suitable solution is VPN tunnelling in order
to overcome such problems.
This enterprise network solution comes with other configured features
that include, DHCP, DNS, Software Deployment over the network,
Remote Access etc.
To implement this mapping into ones business, one needs the
knowledge of server handling and how components in a network work.
This configuration along with providing a communication channel via
VPN, but also provides a security mechanism through NAT with NPS
and also manages all the client machines connected to the server
machine with DHCP and managing Active directory users.
 MODULES AND THEIR DESCRIPTION

VPN(Virtual Private Network) with

NPS(Network Policy Server)
DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DNS(Domain Name Server)
Software Deployment Services
Group Policy Object
VPN With Network Policy Server
A virtual private network (VPN) extends
a private network across a public network, and
enables users to send and receive data across
shared or public networks as if their computing
devices were directly connected to the private
network. Applications running across the VPN
may therefore benefit from the functionality,
security, and management of the private network.
Network Policy Server (NPS) uses network
policies and the dial-in properties of user
accounts to determine whether a connection
request is authorized to connect to the network.
You can use this procedure to configure a new
network policy in either the NPS console or the
Remote Access console.
 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Every device on a TCP/IP-based network
must have a unique unicast IP address to
access the network and its resources.
Without DHCP, IP addresses for new
computers or computers that are moved from
one subnet to another must be configured
manually; IP addresses for computers that
are removed from the network must be
manually reclaimed.
With DHCP, this entire process is automated
and managed centrally. The DHCP server
maintains a pool of IP addresses and leases
an address to any DHCP-enabled client
when it starts up on the network. Because
the IP addresses are dynamic (leased) rather
than static (permanently assigned), addresses
no longer in use are automatically returned
to the pool for reallocation.
 Domain Name Service
The Domain Name System (DNS)
is a hierarchical decentralized
naming system for computers,
services, or other resources
connected to the Internet or a private
network. It associates various
information with domain
names assigned to each of the
participating entities. Most
prominently, it translates more
readily memorized domain names to
the numerical IP addresses needed
for locating and identifying
computer services and devices with
the underlying network protocols.
Software Deployment Services

Windows Server 2012 R2 includes a feature called Software

Installation and Maintenance that ADDS, Group Policy, and
the Windows Installer service use to install, maintain, and
remove software from your organizations computers.
 Group Policy Object
Group Policy is an infrastructure that
enables you to specify managed
configurations for users and computers
through Group Policy settings and Group
Policy Preferences. For Group Policy
settings that affect only a local computer
or user, you can use the Local Group
Policy Editor. You can manage Group
Policy settings and Group Policy
Preferences in an Active Directory
Domain Services (AD DS) environment
through the Group Policy Management
Console (GPMC). Group Policy
management tools also are included in
the Remote Server Administration Tools,
which provides a way for you to
administer Group Policy settings from
your desktop.

 VMWARE
VMware is a virtualization and cloud computing software provider based in
Palo Alto, California. Founded in 1998, VMware is a subsidiary of Dell
Technologies.
EMC Corporation originally acquired VMware in 2004; EMC was later
acquired by Dell Technologies in 2016. VMware bases its virtualization
technologies on its bare-metal hypervisor ESX/ESXi in x86 architecture.
With VMware server virtualization, a hypervisor is installed on the physical
server to allow for multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on the same
physical server.
Each VM can run its own operating system (OS), which means multiple
OSes can run on one physical server. All of the VMs on the same physical
server share resources, such as networking and RAM.
VMware products include virtualization, networking and security
management tools, software-defined data center software and storage
software.
 Windows Server 2012 R2
A serveris a computer designed to process requests and deliver data to
other (client) computers over a local network or the internet. Although any
computer running special software can function as a server, the most
typical use of the word references the very large, high-powered machines
that function as the pumps pushing and pulling data across the internet.
Most computer networks support one or more servers that handle
specialized tasks.
As a rule, the larger the network in terms of clients that connect to it or
the amount of data that it moves the more likely it is that several servers
play a role, each dedicated to a specific purpose.
The server is the software that handles a task. However, the
powerful hardware that supports this software is also usually called
a serverbecause server software coordinating a network of hundreds or
thousands of clients requires hardware much more robust than what you'd
buy for ordinary consumer use.
