Configuring Windows Server

2003After Windows Server 2003 has been installed and activated, You can Configure YourServer Using Manage your Server page as shown in figure below. The page launchesautomatically at logon. The Page facilitates the installation of specific services, tools andconfigurations based on server roles. When you click Add or Remove A role, Configureyour server wizard appears


3/74

Configuration Selection

There are Two common configuration

selections Typical Configuration for first server

Custom Configuration


4/74

Typical Configuration

If you select Typical Configuration for the First serverConfigure your Server Wizard promotes the Server to

Domain Controller in a new Domain, installs Active

Directory services and if needed Domain Name Services(DNS),Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) and

Rooting and Remote Access service


5/74

Custom Configuration

If you select Custom Configuration, Configure your Server Wizard can configure thefollowing roles

File Server Print Server Application Server (IIS,ASP.NET) Mail Server (POP3,SMTP)

Terminal Server Remote Access/VPN server Domain Controller (Active Directory) DNS Server DHCP Server Streaming Media Server

WINS server


6/74

File Server

Provide convenient, centralized access to files and directories forindividual users,departments,and entire organizations. This options allowsto manage user disk space by enabling and configuring disk quotamanagement and to provide improved file system search performance by

enabling Index


7/74

Print Server

Provide centralized and managed access to printing devices by servingshared printers and printer drivers to client computers. This Option alsoinstall Internet information service (IIS ) and configures internet printingprotocol (IPP) and installs Web-based printer administration tools


8/74

APPLICATION SERVER

(IIS,ASP.NET)

Provide infrastructure components required to support the hosting of web

applications. This Role install and configures services such as IIS6.0,ASP.NET and COM+


9/74

MAIL SERVER (POP3,SMTP)

This role installs POP3 and SMTP services so that theserver can act as an Email server for POP3 clients


10/74

TERMINAL SERVER

This Role provides applications and serverresources such as printers and storage, tomultiple users as if those applications andresources were installed on their owncomputers. Users connect with Terminalservices or remote desktop clients.Windows server 2003 provides remotedesktop for administration automatically.Terminal server roles are required onlywhen hosting applications for users on aterminal server


11/74

REMOTE ACCESS/VPN SERVER

This Role provides multiple protocolrouting and remote access services for

dial-in, Local Area Networks (LANs)

and Wide Area Network(WANs).Virtual Private Network (VPN)

connections allow remote sites and

users to connect securely to networkusing standard internet connections


12/74

DOMAIN CONTROLLER(ACTIVE

DIRECTORY)

This role provides directory services

to clients within the network. This

option configures domain controllerfor new or existing domain and

installs DNS.


13/74

DNS SERVER

The main function of DNS server isto provide hostname resolution bytranslating host names to IPAddresses (Forward lookups) andIP address to host names (reverselookups). This option install DNS

service and then be able toconfigure DNS Server.


14/74

DHCP SERVER

Provides Automatic IP Addressing services to clients configured to use Dynamic IP Addressing.

This Options installs DHCP Services and then be able to start new scope wizard to define one

or more IP Address scopes in the network


15/74

WINS SERVER

Provides computer name resolution by translating NetBIOS names to IP

addresses. It is not necessary to install Windows Internet Name Service

(WINS) unless you are supporting legacy operating systems, such as

Windows 95 or Windows NT. Operating systems such as Windows 2000

and Windows XP do not require WINS, although legacy applications on

those platforms may very well require NetBIOS name resolution. Choosingthis option installs WINS.


16/74

Introduction to Active Directory

Active Directory is a directory service. The term directory

service refers to two things a directory where information

about users and resources is stored and a service or

services that let you access and manipulate those

resources. Active Directory is a way to manage all elementsof your network, including computers, groups, users,

domains, security policies, and any type of user-defined

objects. It melds several NT services and tools that have

functioned separately so far User Manager for Domains,

Server Manager, Domain Name Server and provides

additional functions beyond these services and tools.


17/74

Domains, Trees and Forests

Active directory cannot exist without at least one Domain. Domain is coreadministrative unit of windows server directory service. However an

enterprise may have more than one domain in its AD. multiple domain

models create logical structures called Trees when they share contiguous

DNS names.forexample

sohatel.com,techhouse.sohatel.com,bongocite.sohatel.com share commoncontiguous name space and would therefore be referred as tree.

If domains in an active directory do not share a common root domain, they

create multiple trees. That leads you to the largest structure in an active

directory: The Forest. An AD forest includes all domains within that active

AD.A forest may contain multiple domains in multiple trees, or just onedomain. when more than one domain exists, a component of AD called the

Global Catalog becomes important because it provides information about

objects that are located in other domains in the forest


18/74

Domain Example


19/74

Domain Trees ExampleTrust relationships bind these domains together. The trusts in Windows 2003 are

Kerberos two way transitive trusts. This means that the trust between glasgow and

comsurf is in both directions, so that user accounts in either domain have the potential

ability to access resources in the other domain.


20/74

Domain Forest ExampleA forest of trees shares a common root, a common schema but has a non-contiguous

name space.


21/74

Objects and Organization Unit

Enterprises resources are represented in AD as Objects or recordsin the database. Each object has numerous attributes or properties.

AD is capable of hosting millions of objects including

users,groups,computers,printers,shared folders,sites,site links,

Group Policy Objects

Structure is the Function of a specific object type called

Organization Unit or OU.

OU are containers within a domain that allow to group objects that

share common administration or configuration.OU provide important

administrative capabilities as they provide a point at whichadministrative functions can be delegated and to which group

policies can be linked

Practice: Installing Windows Server

2003Step1:

Configure the computers BIOS name or Disk Controller BIOS to boot from CD-

ROM.

Step2:

Insert Windows Server 2003 installation CD into CD-ROM Drive and Restart

the computer

Step3:

If primary Disk is not Empty, a message appears prompting you to press any

key to boot from CD.If you see this message, press any key

After the computer starts, a brief message appears explaining that your system

configuration is being inspected, and then the Windows Setup screenappears.

Step4:

If your computer requires special mass storage drivers that are not part of the

Windows Server 2003 driver set, press F6 when prompted and provide the

appropriate drivers.

Step 5:

The system prompts you to press F2 to perform an Automated SystemRecovery (ASR). Automated System Recovery is a new feature in Windows

Server 2003 that replaces the Emergency Repair Disk feature of previous

versions of Windows, and is described in Chapter 13. Do not press F2 at

this time. Setup will continue.

Notice that the gray status bar at the bottom of the screen indicates that thecomputer is being inspected and that files are loading. This is required to

start a minimal version of the operating system.


27/74

Step 6:

If you are installing an evaluation version of Windows Server 2003, the

Setup Notification screen appears informing you of this. Read the Setup

Notification message, and then press Enter to continue.

Setup displays the Welcome to Setup screen.

Notice that, in addition to the initial installation of the operating system, youcan use Windows Server 2003 Setup to repair a damaged Windows

installation.


28/74

Step 7:

Read the Welcome To Setup message, and then press Enter to continue.Setup displays the License Agreement screen.


29/74

Step 8:

Read the license agreement, pressing Page Down to scroll to the bottom ofthe screen.


30/74

Step 9:Press F8 to accept the agreement. Setup displays the Windows Server 2003

Setup screen, prompting you to select an area of free space or an existing

partition on which to install the operating system. This stage of setupprovides a way for you to create and delete partitions on your hard disk.

To complete the exercises you will need to configure a partition large enough to

host the operating system installation (recommended minimum size is 3 GB)

and unallocated space of at least 1 GB. The following steps assume your

disk is at least 4 GB in size and is currently empty. You may make

adjustments to accommodate your situation.

32/74

Step 10:

Press C to create a partition.

Step 11: To create a 3 GB partition type 3072 in the Create Partition Of Size (In MB)

box and press Enter.

Step 12: Confirm that your partitioning is similar to that shown in Figure 1-2. Again,the recommendations for the hands-on exercises is a C: partition of at least

3 GB and 1 GB of unpartitioned space.


33/74


34/74

Step 13:

Select C: Partition1 [New (Raw)] and press Enter to install.

You are prompted to select a file system for the partition.


35/74

Step 14:

Verify that the Format The Partition Using The

NTFS File System option is selected, and press

Enter to continue. Setup formats the partition with

NTFS, examines the hard disk for physical errors

that might cause the installation to fail, copies

files to the hard disk, and initializes theinstallation. This process takes several minutes.

Eventually, Setup displays a red status bar that

counts down for 15 seconds before the computer

restarts and enters the GUI mode of the setupprocess.

installation in the left pane. Collecting Information, Dynamic Update, and

Preparing Installation options are selected. Collecting Information was

completed before the GUI appeared, and Dynamic Update is not used when

starting from the CD-ROM. The system is now Preparing Installation by

copying files to the local disk drive.
