TABLE 1.1 Hardware requirements for Windows Server 2008 editions.


Hardware resources would need to be increased for any systems using Hyper-V
technology and running virtual machines. For example, if youre running three virtual
servers within a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition, you would need additional
processing power, more memory, and more disk space.

How to Obtain a Copy of Windows Server 2008?


Its common for Microsoft to provide free evaluation copies of Server operating systems
for use. Currently, you can download Windows Server 2008 30-day and 60-day
evaluation editions free of charges at :
http://www.micosoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/trial-software.aspx

Beware, though. These files are quite large. If youre using a slower dial-up link, you
might want to see whether Microsoft is currently offering an evaluation DVD via regular
mail. Theres a nominal cost involved with this option, but its better than trying to
download more than 2GB at 56KB.
The download is an .iso image of the actual DVD. Search with your favorite search
engine for Download Windows Server 2008, and youll find the link.
Once you download the .iso image, you can burn it to a DVD. If you dont have the
software needed to burn it to DVD, you can use one of many freeware utilities (such as
ImgBurn) to burn the .iso image to your DVD.

EXERCISE 1.1

your server will be the first domain controller in the forest.
15. On the Name the Forest Root Domain screen, enter MYServer.com as the fully
qualified domain name.
Click Next (Figure 0095).

Figure 0095 : Name the Forest Root Domain Screen


16. If Domain NetBIOS Name page appears, accept the default of MYSERVER.
17. On the Set Forest Functional Level screen, select the Forest functional level of
Windows Server 2008. This ensures that any new domains created in this forest
will automatically operate at the Windows Server 2008 domain functional level,
which does provide unique features. If you had a network that has a Windows
2000 Remote Access Server, you would select the compatible option (Figure
0096).

18. Click Next to continue.


19. On the Additional Domain Controller Options screen, note that both the DNS
server and the global catalog are selected as options. Active Directory Domain
Services requires DNS, and if not available on the network, DCPromo will give
you the option of installing it. Additionally, the first domain controller within a
domain is a global catalog server.

Figure 0097 : Additional Domain Controller Options Screen


Note : If you have dynamically assigned IP addresses, a warning will appear
indicating you must assign static IP addresses for both IPv4 and IPv6. Either
assign static IP addresses or click Yes; the computer will use a dynamically
assigned IP address and configure static IP addresses later. As a best practice,
domain controllers should use statically assigned IP addresses.

Click Next to continue (Figure 0097).

65

20. If this server is on an isolated network without other DNS servers, a warning
dialog box will appear indicating that a delegation for this DNS server cant be

Summary
Windows Server 2008 brings a lot of new features and benefits that will drive a
lot of migrations to the new operating system. This chapter presented many of these
new additions.
One of the significant benefits of Windows Server 2008 is virtualization. Three
editions (Windows Server 2008 Standard with Hyper-V, Windows Server 2008
Enterprise with Hyper-V, and Windows Server 2008 Datacenter with Hyper-V) support
virtualization.
Each edition can be purchased with or without Hyper-V, which is the technology
that supports virtualization. The Standard edition supports one virtual server, the
Enterprise edition supports as many as four virtual servers, and the Datacenter edition
supports an unlimited number of virtual servers. Virtualization is supported only on 64-bit
operating systems.
In this chapter, you learned about the new features of Windows Server 2008.
These included Server Manager, Server Core, PowerShell, Windows Deployment
Services, and read-only domain controllers.
Exercises led you through the process of installing Windows Server 2008 on a
PC. After reviewing many of the basics of Active Directory Domain Services, you learned
how to promote the server to a domain controller.

Exercise 5 : Creating Organizational Units And Users


In this section, youll use active directory to view the default settings that apply to user
accounts when they are created. These settings can be overridden for a particular user,
a group of users, or all users.
You will create a number of organizational units. An OU acts as a container that holds
objects such as users.

Creating Organization Units


In the following exercise, you will create some organizational units that will act as
containers for some users. These organizational units model the departments within a
small organization.

EXERCISE 5.1
Creating Organization Units

1. Logon server as administrator.


2. Launch Active Directory Users and Computers. Click Start Administrative
Tools Active Directory Users and Computers (Figure 0114)

Figure 0114 : Run Active Directory Users and Computers

76

3. Click on the myserver.com icon to select it (Figure 0115).

Figure 0115 : Expand Domain


4. On the menu bar, click Action, New, Organizational Unit (Figure 0116).

Figure 0116 : Create New Organization Unit

77

5. Enter Stkm as the name for the new organizational unit (Figure 0117).
6. Uncheck Protect container from accidental deletion (Figure 0117).
7. Click OK (Figure 0117).

Figure 0117 : Create Organization Unit


8. Repeat step 3 to 7 to create the organizational units Sted and Sklr (Figure
0118).

Figure 0118 : Organization Unit


Creating organizational units lets you place users directly into units and assign
permissions and rights based on these units. This leads to better administration
and delegation control than if you placed users directly into the user container.
When users move from one department to another, it is a simple matter to move
the user to the corresponding organizational unit. In this way, they inherit all the
new features and rights and of the new organizational unit, ensuring they have
full access to all the resources they are entitled to.

78

EXERCISE 5.2
Creating Users within Organizational Units
For proper control, it is better to create users within an OU rather than the Users
container. In the following exercise you will create a number of users, modify their
properties, and move them from one organizational unit to another.
9. Click the Stkm OU to highlight it (Figure 0119).

EXERCISE 5.3
Moving Users within Organizational Units
41. It is easy to delete, rename or move a user from an organization unit. In the
above exercise the user Md Saad was inadvertently placed in the wrong OU.
Right-click the user Md Saad and select move from the list (Figure 0143).

Figure 0143 : Move Users


42. Click Stkm as the destination OU (Figure 0144).

43. Click OK

90

44. Expand the Stkm OU to confirm that the user Md Saad is now a member of Stkm
OU (Figure 0145).

Figure 0145 : Stkm OU Members

You have now created a number of users within the organizational units created
earlier. At this stage, you cannot see the benefits of doing this. However, the later
exercises will start to illustrate why this has been done, by allocating resources to
organizational units.
Thus, a user will get access to a resource based on their OU membership
properties. If a user moves from one organizational unit to another, they will
inherit all the resources associated with the new OU.

91

EXERCISE 5.4
Updating User Information
In this exercise we will look at default user properties such as logon times and how often
they need to change their passwords.
Active Directory allows organizations to store significantly more information than in
previous versions of Windows. For example, you can store telephone and office
information in the Active Directory with the user information.

Exercise 7 : Viewing Computer In Active Directory


In this section you will use Active Directory Users and Computers to view information for
computers and servers.
When a client workstation is installed using Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000
Professional or Windows Vista or Windows 7, it has its own accounts database and
rights. When that client computer joins a domain or Windows Server 2008 network, this
means that the domain wide accounts are available for use at the workstation. When a
user logs on using the client computer, any policies are applied to the client computer.
Client workstations running Windows XP Professional have their own local accounts
database. This means it is possible for an administrator on the workstation to create a
local workstation account, which is not the same as the domain account, and allow
users to logon to the local computer rather than the domain.
Currently, you should have the Windows Server 2008 and a Windows XP Professional
client workstation running.
Log on as administrator to the Windows Server 2008.

EXERCISE 7.1
Viewing Computers and Servers in Active Directory
In this exercise, you will use Active Directory Users and Computers to view the
workstations and servers in the domain.

What happened? Could you log on? It should be no problem.

Summary
Servers do not allow normal users to logon locally. Servers run the network and provide
resources, which users connect to remotely across a network. Servers are not designed
to have users physically sitting at their keyboards trying to log on and run programs.
Users actually logon to a client computer in the network and access resources using a
network connection.
Client computers running Windows XP Professional have their own accounts database.

Exercise 9 : Exploring Group Scopes and Types


EXERCISE 9.1
Exploring Group Scopes and Types
In the following exercise you will create a number of groups. These groups will be used
to demonstrate group scope. From the notes, group scope determines who can be a
member and where that group can be used in the enterprise.
Group
Type

Scope

Local

User accounts, Global groups and Universal groups from any domain in the
forest, as well as local groups from the same domain.

Global

User accounts and global groups from the same domain.

Universal

User accounts, global groups and universal groups from any domain in the
forest.

The recommended strategy for using groups in Windows Server 2008 is to use both
global and domain local groups. Place users into global groups and then place the global
groups into domain local groups and assign permissions to the domain local groups.
Global groups have access to accounts in the local domain. Where the enterprise
consists of more than one domain, local groups allow the use of accounts across all the
domains. Where the enterprise has combined a number of domains into a forest,
Universal groups provide access to any accounts in the forest.

Summary
Windows Server 2008 running in native mode supports the use of different group types.
Global groups have access to user accounts and other global groups in the same
domain. Local groups allow you to access accounts outside the current domain, and
universal groups provide access across organizations (forests).

Exercise 10 : Creating And Applying Group Policies


In this exercise you will create a new group policy and apply it to users within an
organizational unit.

Group Policies
Group policies are settings or configurations that can be applied to users, groups,
organizational units and domains. An administrator can create a group policy that
configures the computer or user settings, such as menu and desktop settings, folder
locations and default password settings.
Windows NT 4 and Windows 98 introduced system policies. Windows 2000, 2003 and
2008 extends these further using group policies.

Summary
In this exercise you created a group policy and applied it to an organizational unit.
Only a fraction of the available settings were explored. Applying a group policy is a
way of controlling security and configuring groups of users with common settings.
This can help reduce the cost of ownership and the level of administrator support by
restricting what users can do or change on their computers.

Before we begin this exercise, we have done some preliminary setup.
We add mad.akmal, ocah.blue and ain.syahmi to the Intranet Users group
and we set permissions to the folder temp21 as Read only for Intranet
Users. But for Tech Support group, we set Full Control permissions.

In the earlier exercise, we add ali.zul as member of the Tech Support


group. Thats why user ali.zul can create new text document in the
Common folder on the Server21.

EXERCISE 11.2
Creating Network Drive Mapping
Instead of using My Network Places, you can map a drive letter to the resource. This is
an alternative way of accessing the resource, but requires that you know the location of
the resource (you can use My Network Places to view the available resources, so you
dont really need to know the location)

EXERCISE 11.3
Publishing a Shared Resource in Active Directory
One of the problems of publishing shares in the way you have just done (which is the
way they done in NT 4 or 98) is that you have to browse the network or know which
server the resource is located on in order to find it. This can be time-consuming and
frustrating for users.
Resources can be published in Active Directory, making them easy to find. In the next
exercise you will publish the resource into Active Directory.

52. Log on to the server as Administrator (Figure 0372).

Summary
Permissions are assigned at the SHARE and at the File system level. By default,
Windows Server 2003 places every use created into the group EVERYONE, and, when
creating a new directory or share, automatically assigns rights to that resource so the
group EVERYONE can access it.

If you want to secure any resources by restricting access, you should ensure that the
appropriate permissions have been set at both the share and file system level.

Publishing shared folders in Active Directory simplifies the task of locating resources.

software application to a Sklr OU users.

120.

Log off the client computer.

121.

Log off the server.

Summary
In this exercise you deployed a software application to a group of users. The application
was not supported by Windows Installer so required you to create a ZAP file.
The software application and Zap file were placed on a network share. This software
was then associated with a group policy for the Sklr Organizational Unit. The software
deployment was then tested when a user of the Sklr OU logged onto a client computer.
In installing software on the client computer, the installer needed the required
permissions. In this exercise, the users were made members of the Power Users group
to enable the installation of the software. In actual use, members would be set up with
the required permissions, rather than perhaps being made a member of this group on
the local computer.
Managing the software distribution can simply the administration of the network and
ensure that users only get the applications that have been assigned to them.

Check disk. Unfortunately, this process often requires restarting the server.
15. Close all remaining windows.
16. Log off the server.

429

DEFRAGMENTING THE FILE SYSTEM


Over a period of time, portions of files can become scattered over the surface of the disk
and this makes accessing files slower. The process of defragmenting a disk involves
moving the portions of each file back together so they are all next to each other.
EXERCISE 19.6
In this exercise you will use Computer Management to defragment the current drive.

433

9. After the drive has been defragmented, click the Close button to close the Disk
Defragmenter window (Figure 0831).

Figure 0831 : Disk Defragmenter window

Defragmenting the file system should occur on a regular basis to ensure files can
be accessed and loaded quickly. Files in use cannot be defragmented, so
administrators should schedule this to occur during periods of inactivity. A heavily
fragmented file system is often the cause of poor performance.

434

SAFE MODE
Safe mode provides a means of recovering from loading device drivers that do not work
properly. For instance, an administrator might install a new graphics card, and rather
than let Windows Server 2008 install the appropriate drivers, may select an alternative
driver. This can result in a system that results in an unreadable screen display. To
recover from such a possibility, Windows Server 2008 provides Safe mode.

EXERCISE 19.7
In this exercise you will restart the computer in Safe Mode. This is a special mode only
available when the computer is restarted and you press F8 before the computer starts
loading Windows Server 2008.

Exercise 20 : Installing And Configuring DHCP Server


"Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an IP standard designed to reduce the
complexity of administering IP address configurations." - Microsoft's definition.
A DHCP server would be set up with the appropriate settings for a given network. Such
settings would include a set of fundamental parameters such as the gateway, DNS,
subnet masks, and a range of IP addresses. Using DHCP on a network means
administrators don't need to configure these settings individually for each client on the
network. The DHCP would automatically distribute them to the clients itself.
In this exercise you will set DHCP server and deploy DHCP to a Windows Server 2008
client computer. You will configure DHCP service and limit it to 3 hosts.

EXERCISE 20.1

A subnet mask defines how many bits of an IP address to use for the
network/subnet IDs and how many bits to use for the host ID.
In this exercise we use class C default subnet (255.255.255.0), which is equal to
24 bit length. You can learn more about this under IP address Subnetting topic.

26. Click the Next button to continue (Figure 0887).

27. IP Address Exclusions.


IP Address Exclusions are addresses or a range of addresses that are not
distributed by the DHCP server.
In your DHCP IP address range, you set a range for 3 hosts. If you notice, the
first IP address is your server IP address.
If you not exclude your server IP address, the DHCP server will distribute all the
IP address in the range including your server IP address. Later you will faces
with the IP conflict problem. To prevent this, you have to exclude your server IP
address.
To exclude a single address, type an address in Start IP address only.
So, enter your server IP address at the Start IP address: box to exclude it IP
from distributed by the DHCP server and click the Add button (Figure 0888).

29. Lease Duration.
The lease duration specifies how long a client can use an IP address from scope.
Lease durations should typically be equal to the average time the computer is
connected to the same physical network.
Let set the lease duration to 8 hours this equal to 8 hour working time per day.
Click the Next button to continue (Figure 0890).

In the previous exercise I use another server as the router (192.168.2.25). You
can use the same router or you can use your server router or another router to
be distributed by this scope.
I will use the same router for this scope in this exercise (192.168.2.25).
To add an IP address for a router used by client, enter the address in the IP
address: box and click the Add button (Figure 0892).

Exercise 21 : Installing And Configuring WEB Server


In this exercises, you will install and configure your server to run as Web Server. This
exercise also describes the basics of managing a Web site's infrastructure, from setting
a site home directory and default Web Page, to redirecting requests and dynamically
altering Web pages.
Web Server Overview
Web servers are computer that have specific software that allow them to accept
requests from client computers and return responses to those requests. Web servers let
you share information over the internet or through intranet and extranets.
The Web server role in Windows Server 2008 lets you share information with users on
the internet, an intranet, or an extranet. Windows Server 2008 delivers IIS 7.0, which is a
unified Web platform that integrates IIS, ASP.NET and Windows Communication
Foundation. The key features and improvements in IIS 7.0 include the following:
A unified Web platform that delivers a single, consistent Web solution for both
administrators and developers.
Enhanced security and the ability to customize the server to reduce the attack
surface.
Simplified diagnostic and troubleshooting features to aide in resolution of
problems.
Improved configuration and support for server forms.
Delegated administration for hosting and enterprise workloads.
Installing IIS and Web Server
When you install IIS initially, the service is installed in a highly secure mode. Because IIS
only serves static content by default, you must enable features such as ASP, ASP.NET,
Common Gateway Interface (CGI), Internet Server Application Programming Interface
(ISAPI), and Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV), if you need them.
During installation, IIS installs optional components such as common files and IIS
Manager. You can choose not to install the optional components. However, if you do not
install specific components, you can decrease IIS functionality or disable IIS services. If
you are unfamiliar with the optional components and how they affect IIS, install IIS with
the default settings.

Summary
Whether your site is on an intranet or the Internet, the principles of providing content are
the same. You place your Web files in directories on your server so that users can
establish an HTTP connection and view your files with a Web browser.
But beyond simply storing files on your server, you must manage how your site is
deployed, and more importantly, how your site evolves. Today, an engaging Web site is
seldom a static collection of pages. Most successful Web administrators are kept busy
accommodating ever changing Web content.
Each Web site must have a home directory. The default Web site home directory is
LocalDrive:\inetpub\wwwroot. You can change a Web site home directory using IIS
Manager.

Exercise 22 : Installing And Configuring FTP Server


In this exercises, you will install and configure your server to run as FTP Server. This
exercise also describes installation of the FTP service, and changing default FTP
settings globally and for specific FTP sites.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a protocol used to transfer files over the internet. People
commonly use FTP to make files available for others to download, but you can also use
FTP to upload webpages for building a website or for putting digital photos on a picture
sharing site.
IIS includes the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service for publishing and managing files.
This version of IIS includes FTP user isolation to help administrators (particularly Internet
hosting providers) efficiently secure and commercialize FTP services for their customers.
The FTP service is not installed by default. To set up an FTP site, you must first install
the FTP service through the Server Manager. Installing the FTP service creates a default
FTP site, which you can then customize to your needs using IIS Manager.

EXERCISE 22.1
Installing FTP Server.

Configuring FTP Server


IIS creates a default FTP site configuration on your hard disk at the time of installation.
You can use the C:\inetpub\ftproot directory to store your FTP files, or create any
directory or virtual directory you choose.
Setting up the FTP service for the first time involves first setting global FTP settings,
then settings for the default FTP site, and finally adding the content to the FTP site. IIS
uses an inheritance model, which means that settings on higher levels are automatically
inherited by lower levels. Settings at lower levels can be edited individually to override
inherited settings from the next level up.
If you change a setting at a lower level, then later change a setting at a higher level that
conflicts with the lower-level setting, you will be prompted to choose whether you want to
change the lower-level setting to match the new higher-level setting.

Figure 1002 : Server 21 FTP Site Properties Home Directory

Note:
If you select a directory on a network share, you might need to enter a user name
and password to access the resource. IUSR_computername is the default
account used if another account is not specified.
If you use an account with administrative credentials on the server, clients can
gain access to server operations. This seriously jeopardizes the security of your
network.

Create New FTP Site Using Multiple IP Address.


You can create multiple FTP sites using multiple IP addresses and multiple ports. While
creating multiple sites with multiple IP addresses is a common and recommended
practice, it can be more complicated because, by default, clients call port 21 when using
the FTP protocol.
Therefore, if you create multiple FTP sites using multiple ports, you need to inform users
of the new port number so their FTP clients can locate and connect to the port.
If you create a new site using the same port as an existing site with the same IP
address, the new site will not start. The general rule is that you can have multiple sites
using the same IP and port, but only one site from this group can run at a time. If you try
to start another site from this group, you receive an error message.
Before you start create multiple FTP site using multiple IP address, you need to make
sure your server have set with multiple IP address. If not, you have to set your server to
use multiple IP address.

establish an FTP connection and transfer files with an FTP client or FTP-enabled Web
browser. But beyond simply storing files on your server, you must manage how your site
is deployed, and more importantly, how your site evolves. This section presents the
basics of managing the infrastructure of an FTP site, from securing your site to hosting
multiple sites.
