70 - 640 STUDY GUIDE

This study guides primary goal is to help you prepare to take and pass Microsofts Exam 70-640, Windows
Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring. Our secondary purpose in writing this guide is to provide exam
candidates with knowledge and skills that go beyond the minimum requirements for passing the exam and help
to prepare them to work in the real world of Microsoft computer networking.
In this section we would discuss about the pre quest and preparation of Server 2008. I would show you the
different method of installation. Later I would configure the common setting which should be complete just after
the installation of sever 2008. We would also discuss about lab set up on VMware so you could complete the
entire practical on single pc.
First step of preparation is installation of Server 2008. Before we start installation you should get familiar with
the different version of server 2008. How should you choose the appropriate version of server? Once you got
familiar the different version of server 2008 we would discuss about the different approach of installation.
There are several common settings which should be done before we start configuration of server 2008. In
earlier version of sever family like Server 2003, server 2000 most if these setting are done during the
installation process but in Server 2008 there are done after the installation.

Server 2008 editions with Hyper-V

Hyper-V is the virtual machine technology that allows multiple operating systems to run concurrently on the
same system. Virtualization can be used for server consolidation where multiple servers can be combined onto
a single server or to consolidate testing or development environments. Three server editions include
virtualization capabilities using the Hyper-V virtualization technology. The most significant differences between
these editions are related to how many virtual servers each edition can host. The editions that include Hyper-V
are as follows.
Windows Server 2008 Standard with Hyper-V

New Features of Windows Server 2008
A number of improvements and additions have been made to Windows Server 2008. In this article we would
discuss about those features.
Server Manager
The Server Manager not only provides quick access to many of the management snap-ins, but it also includes
quick access to the Add New Roles Wizard and enables you to view the services that are installed and running
in association with a particular server role.
Server would automatically launch it just after the installation of server 2008. This would allow you to view the
roles that are currently installed on the server and also provides easy access to settings such as the time zone,
the computer name and domain membership, automatic updates, and the server's network interfaces.
You could launch it in following ways
Start ==> Administrative Tools==>Server Manager
MCITP
Haseeb Anjum
Right-click Computer in the Start menu and select Manage
execute this command ServerManagerCmd.exe
Server Core
Server Core allows you to install only what's needed on the server to support the specific role the server will
assume.
It is a completely new feature in Windows Server 2008. A noticeable difference between Server Core and the
full edition of server is that Server Core does not have a graphical user interface (GUI). Instead, all interaction
with Server Core takes place through the command line.
Benefits of Core Server
It's easier to manage.
It minimizes the attack surface since fewer ports are opened by default.
It requires less software so uses less disk space. Only about 1 GB is used for the install.
Since it is less software, it requires fewer updates.

Core server does not include all the features available on other Server installations like NET Framework or
Internet Explorer.
PowerShell
PowerShell is brand new feature of server 2008. Server would not install PowerShell by default. To take the
advantage of PowerShell you need to install it separately.
PowerShell is a powerful set of command-line tools (called cmdlets) and a full-fledged scripting language.
PowerShell is added to Windows Server 2008 as a feature, it provides you with an alternative to the various
snap-ins and other GUI tools provided by the network operating system.
you can use PowerShell to manage the following:
Managing services, processes, and the registry
Active Directory Domain Services
Internet Information Services
Terminal Services
Exchange Server
SQL Server
MCITP
Haseeb Anjum
Print Management snap-in

Print Management snap-in makes the management of printers and print servers easier in your domain. The
new Print Management snap-in enables you to view print servers and the printers that they provide for the
domain. You can even locate (using filters) printers that currently have print jobs and printers that are not ready
(meaning paused or offline).
Read-only domain controllers

The RODC is just like a global catalog server in Active Directory used to authenticate users and as a resource
to look up objects in the directory; however, instead of being a read/write copy of the directory, an RODC only
maintains a read-only copy of Active Directory and forwards all write and authentication requests to a read/write
domain controller.
Internet Information Services 7 (IIS7)

IIS7 provides an easily managed platform for a number of web-based technologies, including ASP.NET and
SharePoint services. IIS7 also enables you to manage your web servers, using a web browser.
Internet Protocol version 6

Windows Server 2008 installs IPv6 by default and allows you to run IPv4 and IPv6 in tandem on your network
interfaces.
Server virtualization
Windows Server 2008 provides Hyper-V, which is a software virtualization technology that enables you to run
multiple virtual servers on a single server.
Change from previous version
Active Directory has been renamed to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
Active Directory in Application (ADAM) to Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS).
ADAM has been a downloadable add-in to Windows 2003 Active Directory that provides a directory typically
used in organizations for nonemployees who need access to network services.
Windows Deployment Services Windows Deployment Services (WDS) replaces the Remote
Installation Services (RIS) provided by Windows Server 2003. WDS allows you to install both Windows Server
2008 and client operating systems (including Windows Vista and Windows XP) using an image-based
installation.

MCITP
Haseeb Anjum
Restart is required to take effect. It would prompt for restart. Click Restart Now
MCITP
Haseeb Anjum
After restart computer name would be changed.
Initial Configuration Tasks
From windows Server 2008 setup process reserves configuration steps for the post-installation process. These
pre-deployment options are left for the end of installation to improve efficiency. Administrators can set these as
soon as the install completes, which shortens time-to-launch for a fresh server installation.
Post-setup configuration tasks are similar for full installations and for Server Core. On full installations, WS08
will reboot the system once the installation is complete and, after generating the initial profile, will display a
wizard: the Initial Configuration Tasks (ICT) Wizard.
MCITP
Haseeb Anjum
This wizard includes three categories of post-installation tasks:
