Logan (Retired)

General Overview

Logan (10.21.25.10) 1 out of 2 of the Dell PowerEdge R430's that we have in Mr. Chamberlain's room. It primarily functions as a print server, BDC (backup domain controller), a host for our DHCP/DNS backups, and a LEMP (NGINX) server.

System information

Logan runs the Windows Server 2016 Standard Edition OS Version 10.0 Build 14393, has 16.0 GB of memory available. Processor is Intel Core Xeon CPU E5-2620 @ 2.10GHz (16CPUs).

Services

Since Logan is one of our Domain Controllers, there are services that Logan runs in order to keep everything running smoothly. Services include:

DHCP

DNS

Active Directory

IDRAC

NGINX

Parsoid

Programs

These applications were installed onto Logan to help support and secure the network even further.

BeyondTrust Network Scanner

DCdiag

Spiceworks

LoganWeb

Hyper-V Manager

Startup

There is currently only 1 file in the startup folder which is a visual basic script to start up the Parsoid server. The code for that can be seen as follows:

set w = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
w.Run chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\nodejs\parsoid\parsoid.bat" & chr(34), 0
set w = Nothing

Print Services

There are currently 2 active print servers on Logan: one for the Brother HL-4570CDW printer, and one for the HP LaserJet P4014 UPD PCL 6 printer.

Below is the advanced configuration page for both of the main printers.

Backup Domain Controller

Logan is a backup domain controller for Loki, meaning it is on hot standby for DNS and Active Directory.

DHCP

Logan runs as a backup DHCP server for Loki.

LEMP Stack (Nginx Server)
