Part A

1) Explain Groupware server and Telnet servers.


Ans: A GroupWare server is software designed to enable users to collaborate, regardless of location, via
the Internet or a corporate Intranet and to work together in a virtual atmosphere.
groupware server A SERVER which manages the interaction between a number of users of a
GROUPWARE system. It receives messages such as requests for diary dates, sends messages such as
reminders of meetings that are to occur in the near future, and maintains files which contain entities such
as personal schedules, diaries, versions of documents and MAILING LISTS. Such servers hold data
which supports groupware software and will often act as a MAIL SERVER, CALENDAR SERVER, and
FILE SERVER.

A Telnet server enables users to log on to a host computer and perform tasks as if they're working
on the remote computer itself.
Windows Server 2003 includes a telnet server, so it can accept incoming telnet connection
requests. In earlier versions of Windows, the telnet service didn’t provide this feature, so you had
to use third-party telnet servers.
The Windows Server 2003 telnet server can be configured to use standard authentication
methods (username and password), or domain user account information, to grant clients access to
the server. Each telnet server is configured for a maximum of two concurrent connections, but
you can change that default
with the telnet administration tool tlntadmn.exe.
The telnet server service doesn’t start automatically; in fact, its default status is “disabled.” To
change the service to start automatically (or manually), open the Services snap-in from the
Administrative Tools menu and double-click the telnet listing. On the General tab, select
Automatic from the Startup Type drop-down list.

2) Differentiate between IIS and APACHE.


Ans: Apache is a software foundation that develops and provides open source software that is meant to
run web servers. Their primary product is their HTTP server which is the most popular HTTP server in
use today.
The Apache web server is very popular due to the fact that is free. This is very advantageous to
those who are just trying out web publishing and is still unsure about it. Apache is most
commonly included in a totally free web server solution called LAMP
(Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP) which is a collection of open source software that would totally
handle all of your web publishing needs from the OS down to the scripting language. Aside from
being free, the open source community is also a good source of support for users who have the
time and patience to ask for answers.

IIS is from Microsoft and thus it would only run on the Microsoft Windows OS. Although it
might seem to be free, the fact that you need to buy Windows to use it shatters that dream. The
clear advantage with running IIS is the fact most people are already familiar with the Windows
operating system and IIS would be a lot easier to learn for Windows users. IIS also comes with
the support of the .NET Framework released by Microsoft; in fact, ASPX scripts are exclusive to
IIS. Support for IIS is provided by Microsoft which is an assurance that you would have answers
to your problems direct from the makers themselves.

 APACHE is a server operating system where as ability to host a number of clients is


provided to the servers through IIS.
 IIS only runs on Windows while Apache can run on almost any OS including UNIX,
Apple’s OS .
 Apache is free while IIS is packaged with Windows.
Security risks are more in IIS.

3) Explain Internet Guest account.


Ans: The Internet Guest account IUSR_<computer name> is used by Microsoft System Center
Configuration Manager 2007 clients for anonymous access to BITS-enabled distribution points
when accessing content without using Windows authentication. For example, in native mode,
Configuration Manager 2007 client computers are authenticated by their PKI certificates.
Because the PKI certificate is not mapped to a user or computer account, Configuration Manager
2007 native mode clients that access the content over HTTP use anonymous access from the
Internet Guest account. (If the distribution point is not BITS-enabled or if the client cannot
access the content over HTTP, the client can fall back to using server message blocks (SMBs), in
which case clients use Windows authentication.) Also, when mobile device clients need to access
content on distribution points, the mobile devices have no security context, so Configuration
Manager 2007 has to give them anonymous access using the virtual directory configuration.

Part B

4) Explain the features provided by A.D.


Ans: Active directory is a directory service given by Microsoft which provides facilities like:-
1. DNS(Domain Name Server):-to provide the domain names to the clients active directory
should be activated on the server.
2. Server to server communication:-if any server wants to communicate the updating to another
server then active directory should be activated on the server.
3. A single active directory can handle a large geographical area.

5) Explain the installation process of IIS.

Ans: In Windows 2000 Server, IIS was part of a default installation. However, in WS03, you
must install IIS manually. With Microsoft’s new mindset of “off by default,” IIS is no longer
part of a default installation.

Here’s how to install IIS:


1. In the Control Panel, click Add Or Remove Programs to open the Add Or Remove
Programs dialog box.
2. Click the Add/Remove Windows Components icon on the left. The Windows
Components Wizard will pop up.
3. Click Application Server, and then click the Details button.
4. The IIS components are located in the Internet Information Services area.

If you click the IIS checkbox, only the default components will be installed. To install optional
components (subcomponents), you must select them manually.

6) How active directory acts as domain controller?

Ans: A domain controller is a server that is running a version of the Windows Server® operating
system and has Active Directory Domain Services installed.

When you install Windows Server on a computer, you can choose to configure a specific server
role for that computer. When you want to create a new forest, a new domain, or an additional
domain controller in an existing domain, you configure the server with the role of domain
controller by installing AD DS.

By default, a domain controller stores one domain directory partition consisting of information
about the domain in which it is located, plus the schema and configuration directory partitions
for the entire forest. A domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows
Server 2008, or Windows Server 2003 can also store one or more application directory partitions.
There are also specialized domain controller roles that perform specific functions in an AD DS
environment. These specialized roles include global catalog servers and operations masters.
