TASK 2
(Task 2 is in the following pages)

TASK 3
1. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
2. TCP/IPv4 (e.g., 192.168.001.001)
3. Initial Configuration Tasks
4. Clients
5. The Peer-to-Peer Network (P2P) is more likely to be found at home because it is the easiest type
of network to set up. It does not require any software other than the operating system already on
your PC, and it does not require the more complex configuration of a client/server network.
6. Administrator’s account
7. A server, called a DHCP server (the word "server" here represents an application; it doesn't have
to be a different server than the one you installed), can automatically assign (provide) an IP
address to each computer.
8. You can manually assign an IP address to each computer. Of course, you need to know a little bit
about something named TCP/IP, which means you would need to know how to create and assign
IP addresses.
9. You must make sure the computer is connected to the Internet.
10. If this is the first computer, you must make it a domain controller (this is not a requirement if the
computer will not be a domain controller; if you don't (yet) know what a domain controller is, don't
worry about that now).

TASK 2
SERVER CONFIGURATION

INTRODUCTION TO SERVER CONFIGURATION

SERVER CONFIGURATION TOOLS

When you have finished installing Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, a window titled Initial Configuration
Tasks may come up:

The Initial Configuration Tasks window is used to perform the most fundamental or routine operations of
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2. This window displays when the computer starts. If you don't want to come
up like that, click the bottom check box. If it doesn't come up when the computer starts, to restore this
window, click Start -> Run, type oobe and press Enter.

After installing the operating system, there are a few things you should (must) do before continuing:
 You must make sure the computer is connected to the Internet
 If this is the first computer, you must make it a domain controller (this is not a requirement if the computer
will not be a domain controller; if you don't (yet) know what a domain controller is, don't worry about that
now)
 PROCEDURES IN SERVER CONFIGURATION

The Server Name

Every computer in the network must have a name. The installation gives a default name that you can accept
or change. Some installations, such as Small Business Server, prompt you to accept or specify the name of the
server. After installing Microsoft Windows Server 2008, to check and/or change the name of the server:

 In the Initial Configuration Tasks window, click Provide Computer Name and Domain:
 In the Computer Name property page, click Change...
 Accept or change the name of the server
 Click OK
 A dialog box will ask you to restart your computer. Click OK
 Click Close
 Click Restart Now

Network Discovery
Network discovery makes it possible for a computer to allow other computers to "see" it on the network. To
take care of it on the server, start Windows Explorer and click Network (you can click the Start button and click
the Network option). A message should appear under the toolbar stating "Network discovery is turned off...":

Click that message and click "Turn on network discovery and file sharing":

You should receive a message box presenting you two options: Click "Yes, turn on network discovery...". If
some computers are already installed and connected to the same router, their names may appear in the
Network node in Windows Explorer.

Connecting the Server to the Internet

Normally, when you have fiinished installing the server, if everything went alright and the computer is
connected to a router, you should be connected to the Internet. To test it, you can start the browser (Internet
Explorer), set the address to http://msdn.microsoft.com, and press Enter.

Windows Updates
You should make sure your installation of the operating system can regularly get its
updates from Microsoft. To take care of this:
a. Click Start -> All Programs -> Windows Update
b. A windows will display, asking you to enable automatic updates. Click Turn On Automatic Updates

You may be asked to install new updates. Do.

Assigning an IP Address to the Server
To assign an IP address to a server (that runs Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2):

 In the Initial Configuration Tasks, click Configure Networking

 On the Taskbar, click Start and click Network. In the left frame, right-click Network and click
Properties. Click Local Area Connection. In the Local Area Connection Status dialog box, click
Properties
To assign an IP address to the server:
a. Click Start
b. Right-click Network and click Properties
c. Click Local Area Connection
d. Click Details. Make note (on a piece of paper) of the address on the right side of IPv4 Address.
(For our example, we are building a small network and we will just use a small range of IP addresses. In the
real world or for a large network, you would need to actually know TCP/IP, design a range of IP addresses
you plan to use, then assign those IP addresses, or design a way to assign the IP addresses to the
computers)
e. Click Close
f. In the Local Area Connection Status dialog box, click Properties
g. In the checked list box, click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
h. Click Properties
i. Click Use the Following IP Address
j. Type the IP address you want the server to use. For our example, and based on the above dialog box, we
type 192.168.001.001
k. Press Tab
l. Type the subnet mask (normally, it should be added automatically when you press Tab from the previous
IP address text box) and press Tab
m. Type the default gateway address (use the first and the second octets of the IP address you had
provided (such as 192.168) and use 001.001 for the other two bytes)
n. Provide the Preferred DNS server address (we use 127.0.0.1 for our example) and the Alternate DNS
Server address (we leave ours empty)

A Domain Name System (DNS)

The Domain Name System, named DNS, is a language (again, named a protocol) that allows the server that
receives (or is provided) the name of a computer. Then the server checks a list (called a table) that has the
names of computers and their corresponding IP addresses. That way, the server can locate, through the IP
address, the intended computer. To make this description possible in your network, you can install an
application named
DNS server.

To do this:
a. From the Initial Configuration Tasks, click Add Roles
(an alternative is to click Start -> Server Manager, then in the left frame, right-click Roles and click Add Roles)

b. In the first page of the wizard, titled Before You Begin, read the text and click Next
c. In the second page of the wizard, click the check box of DNS Server
d. Click Next
e. In the third page of the wizard, titled DNS Server, read the text and click Next
f. Click Install
Creating a Domain Controller

To create a domain controller, you must promote your server (to a domain controller).
To do this:
a. Open the Command Prompt (Start -> Command Prompt, or Start -> All
Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
 Type CD\ and press Enter to return to the root of the disc
 Type dcpromo (which stands for Promote This Computer to a Domain Controller) and press Enter
 A small window will come up:

A wizard will start:

a. In the first page of the wizard, read the text and click Next
b. In the second page of the wizard, read the text and click Next
c. In the third page of the wizard, click Create a New Domain In a New Forest
d. Click Next
e. The next page asks you to create a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). Enter a name made of two or
three parts. Examples are example.local or learning.example.com. Remember that the computer
already has a name and every computer on the network has or will have a name. So this is what will
happen with the name you give:

 If you give a name in two parts such as example.local or example.com, the network name to use from a
browser to access this computer will be ThisComputerName.example.local or
ThisComputerName.example.com. This means that this is the name the other computers will use to
"intranetly" or "webly" access its resources. This means that, later on, you can create a web site stored in
a computer (in a server or a workstation), share resources of that computer, and make those resources
available so that other computers can access those resources from a browser
 If you give a name in three (or more) parts such as support.example.local or intranet.example.local or
WhatSUp.example.local or support.example.com or intranet.example.com or WhatSUp.example.com
or anything like those, the network name of this computer will be
ThisComputerName.support.example.local or ThisComputerName.intranet.example.local or
ThisComputerName.WhatSUp.example.local or ThisComputerName.support.example.com or
ThisComputerName.intranet.example.com or ThisComputerName.WhatSUp.example.com.

That's the name the other computers will use to access this computer from a browser There is no rule as to
whether the name you use (in two parts or more parts) is bad. You just have to decide and keep the scheme
in mind. For our example, we are using functionx.local

f. After specifying the FQDN, click Next. A window will start some operations:
g. When a dialog box comes up, read its text and click Next
h. On the next page, read the text and click Next. A window will come and start performing some
operations
i. Click Next
j. Click Next. If you didn't create (assign) an IP address on (to) the server, a dialog box will come up, about
IP address assignment:

In you didn't assign an IP address to the server, it means you plan to use a DHCP server that will automatically
assign IP addresses to the computers of the network. In this case, click Yes, ...

k. A dialog box comes up

l. Read the text and click Yes
m. In the next page of the wizard, click Next
n. The next page asks you to specify the administrator's password. Click the Password text box and type the
password
o. Click the Confirm Password text box and type the same password
p. After specifying the password, click Next
q. Click Next. A new dialog box will start performing an operation:

This may take a while

r. Click Finish
s. A new dialog box will ask you to reboot: Therefore, click Restart Now
t. When the computer comes up, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE and log in
 PROCEDURES IN CLIENT CONFIGURATION

Assigning an IP Address to a Client

As you may know already, every client of a network needs an IP address so that other computers of the network can
locate it. You may also know that a computer can get its IP address from a DHCP server or you can manually assign an
IP address.
To assign an IP address to a computer that runs Microsoft Windows 7:,
click Start -> Computer (or click Control Panel). On the left, right-click Network and click Properties. If you are
using a laptop, click Wireless Network Connection. If you are using a desktop, click Local Area Connection.

To assign an IP address to a server (that runs Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2):
 In the Initial Configuration Tasks, click Configure Networking
 On the Taskbar, click Start and click Network. In the left frame, right-click Network and click Properties. Click
Local Area Connection. In the Local Area Connection Status dialog box, click Properties

The following section is optional, especially if you are working on a small network. To create the IP address for the
server:

a. Click Start
b. Right-click Network and click Properties
g. The next screen will display details of the selected language:
c. Click Local Area Connection
d. Click Details. Make note (on a piece of paper) of the address on the right side of IPv4 Address:

(For our example, we are building a small network and we will just use a small range of IP addresses. In the real world
or for a large network, you would need to actually know TCP/IP, design a range of IP addresses you plan to use, then
assign those IP addresses, or design a way to assign the IP addresses to the computers)

e. Click Close
f. In the Local Area Connection Status dialog box, click Properties
g. In the checked list box, click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
h. Click Properties
i. Click Use the Following IP Address
j. Type the IP address you want the server to use (for our example, and based on the above dialog box, we type
192.168.001.102) and press Tab
k. Type the subnet mask (normally, it should be added automatically when you press Tab from the previous IP
address text box)
l. Type the default gateway address (use the first and the second octets of the IP address you had provided (such as
192.168) and use 001.001 for the other two bytes)
m. Provide the Preferred DNS server address (we use 127.0.0.1 for our example) and the Alternate DNS Server
address (we leave ours empty)
n. Click OK
o. Click Close
p. Click Close

Creating a User Account

A computer network has to be managed. Some aspects can be done manually and some others electronically. In
order to do anythinig, you must have a user account that can perform the necessary tasks. Such an account must
have appropriate rights on the network.

To create the primary account to manage the network, on the server:

a. Click Start -> Administrative Tools -> Active Directory Users and Computers (if a message box comes up, click
Continue)
b. If necessary, in the left frame, expand the name of the domain. Click Users
c. In the left frame, right-click Users -> New -> User
d. Type the first name of the user and press Tab. If you have a middle initial, type it and press Tab
e. Type the last name
f. Click the User Logon Name text box and type a user name. Here is an example:
g. Click Next
h. In the next page of the wizard, type the password as Password1
i. Press Tab and type the same password. Here is an example:
j. Click Next
k. Click Finish
Making a User Account an Administrator
Some of the operations you will perform on the network require that the account have the appropriate rights (also
called permissions). An administrator's account is one that can do anything on the network, such as creating users
accounts or adding computers to the network.

To make a user account become an administrator, on the server:

a. Click Start -> Administrative Tools -> Active Directory Users and Computers
b. In the left frame, expand the domain's node
c. Click Users
d. Double-click the user name whose rights you want to manage (or right-click that user name and click
Properties)
e. Click Member Of
f. Click Add...
g. In the bottom text box (where the caret is blinking), type admin.
h. Click Check Names
i. Make sure Administrators is selected and underlined.
j. Click OK

Logging In to the Network

To use the network, a user must log in. This is done by provinding a user name and a password. If this is the first time
you are logging in, you may be asked to change your password.

If you are logged but you want to use another account, you can switch to another
account. To do this:
a. Click Start -> Switch User
b. Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE
c. Click Other User
d. Type the user name (such as the one you created earlier) and press Tab
e. Type the password (such as Password1 if you are continuing from the account created earlier) and press
Enter
i. If this is the first time you are logging in, a message will tell you that you must change the password.
Click OK
ii. Type a good password for the account and press Tab
iii. Type the password again and press Enter. A message will inform you that your password has been
changed
iv. Click OK

Optionally Creating a Computer Account

After creating a domain, you can can add client computers to it. In our examples, we will add workstations that run
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, or Enterprise. There are two actions to adding a client to a Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 domain but only one is required.

Before physically or electronically adding a client to a domain, you can first create a computer account for it. To
create a computer account, you can also click Start -> Administrative Tools -> Active Directory Users And Computers.
This would open the Active Directory Users and Computers window. In the left frame, expand the name of the
domain. Right-click the name of the domain -> New -> Computer. This would open the New Object - Computer dialog
box. In the Computer Name text box, enter the name of the computer. The operating systems before Windows 2000
don't use very long names. Therefore, when naming a computer, keep this in mind and give a name made of fewer
than 15 characters. After naming the computer, click Next twice and click Finish.

Instead of right-clicking the name of the domain, in the Active Directory Users And Computers, you can expand the
name of the domain, right-click the Computers node -> New -> Computer. As mentioned already, in the first page of
the New Object - Computer wizard, you can type a name for the computer.

Then click OK. After creating an account for a computer, you can add it to the domain. Actually, primarily creating an
account for a computer is not required.
 Checking the Computer Name and Domain
Always make sure you know the name of each computer on your network and the name of the domain it belongs to.

To check the name of the computer and its domain on a workstation:

a. Click Start
b. Right-click Computer and click Properties

To check the name of the server, in the Initial Configuration Tasks, look on the right side of Full computer Name

To check the name of the document of the server, look on the right side of Domain

Joining a Domain
Preparing a Workstation
There are two primary ways you prepare a computer to join the domain:
 Do Nothing: In this case, you would let the various wizards take care of everything. You would simply follow
the instructions on the screen, click Next, OK, Finish when prompted to do so
 Take care of things as much as possible: the disadvantage of this technique is that you should know what you
are doing. The advantage is that you would know as much as possible, what you did where.

If you use the second option, you would for example assign an IP address to the server instead of the letting the DHCP
server take care of that (Do Nothing option). In this case also, you must prepare the workstations to join the network.
For example, you must assign an IP address to it. If you are working on a small network, TCP/IP is not the most
difficult thing you will deal with (in fact you don't need to know that much about TCP/IP; you can follow other
people's instructions and you will be fine).

To prepare a workstation to join the domain, on the workstation:

a. Click Start -> Control Panel
b. Click View Network Status and Tasks (or click Network and Internet, then Network and Sharing Center)
c. Click Local Area Connection
d. Click Properties
e. In the Networking tab of the Local Area Connection Properties, in the checked list box, click Internet Protocol
Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)P a g e 30 | 38
f. Click Properties
g. Click Use the Following IP Address
h. Type the IP address you want the server to use. For example, add 2 (bits) to the last byte of the IP address
you gave to the server and press Tab
i. Type the subnet mask (it should be added automatically when you press Tab from the previous text box)
j. Type the default gateway address (use the first and the second bytes of the IP address you had provided
(such as 192.168) and use 001.001 for the other two bytes)
k. For the Preferred DNS Server, type the same IP address as the server
l. Click OK

Logging In to the Network

To use the network, a user must log in. This is done by provinding a user name and a password. If this is the first time
you are logging in, you may be asked to change your password.

If you are logged but you want to use another account, you can switch to another
account. To do this:
f. Click Start -> Switch User
g. Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE
h. Click Other User
i. Type the user name (such as the one you created earlier) and press Tab
j. Type the password (such as Password1 if you are continuing from the account created earlier) and press
Enter
v. If this is the first time you are logging in, a message will tell you that you must change the password.
Click OK
vi. Type a good password for the account and press Tab
vii. Type the password again and press Enter. A message will inform you that your password has been
changed
viii. Click OK

first page of the New Object - Computer wizard, you can type a name for the computer.

Then click OK. After creating an account for a computer, you can add it to the domain.
Actually, primarily creating an account for a computer is not required.

Joining the Domain

To participate to a network, a workstation must be added to it. This is referred to as joining a domain. When joining a
domain, if the computer you are adding doesn't have an account already, one would be created for it.

To join a domain using Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, or Enterprise:

a. On the Taskbar, click Start, right-click My Computer and click Properties...
b. Click Change Settings
c. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Computer Name tab and click the Change… button. If the
computer is running Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, the Domain radio button would be disabled,
indicating that the computer cannot join a domain:
d. In the Computer Name text box, enter the desired name of the computer. If you had already created an
account in the domain for this computer, type that name
e. In the Member Of section, click the Domain radio button
f. Click the Domain text box and enter the name of the domain
g. After specifying the name of the computer and the domain to join, click OK
h. You would then be asked to provide a user name and a password for a user who has the permissions to let a
computer join a domain. Type the name of the domain, followed by \ and followed by the user name of an
account that can allow a computer to join a domain and press Tab
i. Type the account's password
j. After entering a user and a password, click OK. If you have the right to add computers to the domain, you
would receive a Welcome message: Click OK
k. You will be asked to restart the computer Click OK

a. In the System Properties dialog box, click Close

b. When asked to restart the computer, click Restart Now
c. After the computer has restarted, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to Log On
d. Click Switch User
e. Click Other User
f. Type the user of a user who has an account in the network's domain and press Tab
g. Type the password
h. Click the green button with the right pointing arrow

Post-Installation
After letting a workstation join a domain, there are a few things you should take care of, such
as Network Discovery. This time, you may be asked to provide a user name and password.
