Edition of Windows 2000
Editions of Windows 2000 • Windows 2000 Professional • Desktop operating system for businesses of all sizes • Windows 2000 Server • File, print, and application server, as well as a Web-server platform • Windows 2000 Advanced Server • For enterprise and larger departmental solutions . • Windows 2000 Data center Server • large-scale enterprise solutions.
Windows 2000 Server • Active Directory • Internet and web services • High level of security • Windows Terminal Service • Supports up to 4GB of memory • Supports for two processors on a new installation or up to four-way (SMP) for servers upgraded from NT Server
Windows 2000 Advanced Server • More powerful Server designed for medium to large operations • Includes Windows 2000 server plus • Network Load Balancing • Cluster service and fault tolerance • Supports up to 8GB of memory • Up to eight-way SMP support
Windows 2000 Data Center Server • Most powerful server • Designed for large- scale enterprise network • Includes feature of Windows 2000 Advance Server Plus • More Advanced clustering service • Supports for up to 64 GB of memory • Up to 16-way SMP support
Types of Networks in Windows 2000 • Windows Workgroups • Windows Domain
Windows 200 workgroup • Each computer in the workgroup maintains a local security database • User accounts and resource security is decentralized • A user must have a user account on each computer that the user needs to access • Any changes to user accounts must be made on each computer
Advantages of using Windows 2000 workgroups • A workgroup does not require a computer running Windows 2000 Server to hold centralized security information • A workgroup is simple to design and implement • A workgroup is convenient for a limited number of computers or users who do not require central administration
Windows 2000 Domains • logical grouping of network computers that share a central directory database • A directory database contains user accounts and security information for the domain • The directory resides on computers that are configured as domain controllers • A domain controller is a server that manages all security-related user/domain interactions and centralizes administration.
Chapter One Installing Windows 2000 Server
Preparing to install Windows 2000 Server • Hardware requirement • Determine if your hardware is supported by W2k • Clean or upgrade • Installation options
Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) • W2K Server requires control of the hardware for • Stability • Efficiency • Security
Upgrade or Clean Install ? • Upgrade • Windows NT Server 3.51 and 4.0 • Retain options • Desktop, • Users • Groups
Clean Install • No operating system • Operating system doesn’t support an upgrade to W2k Server • Dos, Windows 3.x, Windows 9x, or Windows NT workstation • Start from scratch • Dual-boot between W2k Server and existing operating system
Installation Options • Hard Disk partitioning • File system • Licensing • Workgroup or domain • Language and local setting
Hard Disk Partitioning • Space required • At least 1GB • Location of system and boot partition • System partition contains files need to boot W2k • By default is the active partition • Boot partition contains files that are the windows operating system • By default are located at folder WINNT • Special disk configuration • Simple, spanned, striped, mirrored, and RAID-5 volumes • Utility use to setup partitioning • FDISK • Power quest Partition magic
File System Selection • W2K Server supports three file system • File Allocation Table (FAT16) • FAT32 • New Technology File System (NTFS)
FAT 16 • 16 bit file system • DOS and Windows 3.x • Disadvantage • Supports only 2GB • Doesn’t offer security features of NTFS • Advantage • Compatible for dual boot with any operating system DOS, Unix, Linux,OS/2, Windows 3.1 and Windows 9x.
FAT32 • 32 bit version of FAT • Advantages • Disk partition up to 2TB • Fault tolerance in the event of disk failure • Improves disk space usage by reducing cluster size • Disadvantages • Local security, file encryption, disk quotas, and compression
NTFS • Features of NTFS • Local Security on files and folders • Compress of data • Flexibility to assign disk quota • Encryption
Licensing Mode • Per Server • Concurrent number of connections that can be made to the server • Per Seat • Each client will be licensed separately that client can access many server as it needs to
Installation Method • From CD • Another Operating System • By Booting the Windows 2000 CD • Set up Boot Disks • Over a Network Connection • Installing from Setup Boot Disk
Upgrading Member Server to Domain Controller • DCPROM Utility
THE End • Q/A
Automating the Windows 2000 Server Installation Chapter Two
Why Automated Deployment ? • Make Job easier • More efficient • Cost effective
Windows 200 Deployment Tools • System preparation Tools (Sysprep) • Used for preparing disk images • The Setup Manager (setupmgr) • For creating unattended answer files
Disk Imaging • Deployment of same computers • The same storage controllers • HAL (hardware abstraction layer) • Size of destination computer’s hard drive at least as large as the source
Windows 2000 domains provide the following advantages • Centralized administration because all user information is stored centrally. • Single logon process for users to gain access to network resources • Scalability so that you can create very large networks
Windows 2000 Directory Services • A directory service provides the means to organize and simplify access to resources of a networked computer system • It stores information related to the network resources to facilitate locating and managing these resources.
Windows 2000 Active Directory Services • Active Directory services provides a single point of network management, allowing you to add, remove, and relocate users and resources easily • Stores information about network resources, as well as all the services that make the information available and useful .
Active Directory Features • Active Directory services organizes resources hierarchically in domains • Scalability • stores information by using partitions • Open Standards Support • shares information with other directory services that support Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) versions 2 and 3, such as Novell Directory Services (NDS). • The Domain Name System (DNS) • Windows 2000 Server uses dynamic DNS • Eliminate the need for other Internet naming services, such as WINS
Active Directory Cont… • A directory service provides the means to organize and simplify access to resources of a networked computer system
You can use directory service to perform a number of functions… • Enforce security to protect the objects in its database • Replicate a directory to other computers in the network • Partition a directory into multiple stores
The Active Directory Structure • Logical Structure • Physical structure
Logical structure • Resources • Grouping resources logically enables you to find a resource by its name rather than its physical location. • Object • An object is a distinct named set of attributes that represents a network resource • Organizational Unit (OU) • OU can contain objects such as user accounts, groups, computers, printers, applications, file shares, and other OUs
