Information Sheet 3.1– 1
Computer Server
Learning Objectives: After reading this information sheet the trainee will
learn about the basic concept of computer servers.
A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests

from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. A server
typically processes data.The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware
and software resources among clients. This architecture is called the client–
server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to
the server over a network. Typical computing servers are database servers, file
servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application
servers.
Server machines (which can be either actual or virtual machines) run
server programs. In turn, a server program turns the machine on which it
runs into a server machine. However, designating a machine as "server-class
hardware" implies that it is more powerful and reliable than standard personal
computers or is specialized for performing the server's role. Servers may be
composed of large clusters of relatively simple, replaceable machines.
About Windows Server 2008 R2

Windows Server 2008 R2 is a network operating system Microsoft, and can
be deployed in medium to large scale industries in order to allow
administrators to centrally manage the entire network setup right from a
single location. The main difference between a client operating system, such
as Microsoft Windows 8, Microsoft Windows 7, etc. and a network operating
system such as Microsoft Windows Server 2008 RTM/R2, Windows Server
2003 and Windows 2000 Server is that the network operating system (NOS)
has some additional server specific features integrated in it. These additional
features include:
• Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)

• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
• Domain Name System (DNS)
• Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS)

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 9 of 124
• Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)
• Distributed File System (DFS), etc.
Although Windows Server 2008 R2 is a network operating system, it is

initially installed just as a normal client operating system, i.e. without any
additional server oriented services or features installed in it. In order to make
the installed network operating system work as a typical server, systems
administrators must install the server services and/or features according to
the role that they want the computer to play in the network.
System Requirements
Before installing Windows Server 2008 R2, the computer must meet the
following minimum system requirements
• 1.4 GHz x86/x64 or Itanium 2 processor

• 512 MB RAM (2 GB recommended)
• Super VGA or higher display
• 32 GB disk space (10 GB for Foundation Edition)
• DVD drive
• Keyboard and pointing device

Information Sheet 3.1 – 2
Peer to Peer Network (P2P)
learn to set up peer to peer network architecture.
PEER TO PEER NETWORK (P2P)

In its simplest form, a peer-to-peer (P2P) network is created when two or
more PCs are connected and share resources without going through a
separate server computer. A P2P network can be an ad hoc connection—a
couple of computers connected via a Universal Serial Bus to transfer files. A
P2P network also can be a permanent infrastructure that links a half-dozen
computers in a small office over copper wires. Or a P2P network can be a
network on a much grander scale in which special protocols and applications
set up direct relationships among users over the Internet.
The initial use of P2P networks in business followed the deployment in

the early 1980s of free-standing PCs. In contrast to the minimainframes of the
day, such as the VS system from Wang Laboratories Inc., which served up
word processing and other applications to dumb terminals from a central
computer and stored files on a central hard drive, the then-new PCs had self-
contained hard drives and built-in CPUs. The smart boxes also had onboard
applications, which meant they could be deployed to desktops and be useful
without an umbilical cord linking them to a mainframe. Any workers felt
liberated by having dedicated PCs on their desktops. But soon they needed a
way to share files and printers. The obvious solution was to save files to a
floppy disk and carry the disk to the intended recipient or send it by interoffice
mail.
Sneaker Nets
That practice resulted in the term "sneaker net." The most frequent
endpoint of a typical sneaker net was the worker who had a printer connected
to his machine.
While sneaker nets seemed an odd mix of the newest technology and the
oldest form of transportation, the model is really the basis for today's small
P2P workgroups.
Whereas earlier centralized computing models and today's client/server

systems are generally considered controlled environments in which individuals
use their PCs in ways determined by a higher authority, a classic P2P
workgroup network is all about openly sharing files and devices.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 19 of 124
In general, office and home P2P networks operate over Ethernet (10M bit/sec.)
or Fast Ethernet (100M bit/sec.) and employ a hub-and-spoke topology.
Category 5 (twisted-pair) copper wire runs among the PCs and an Ethernet
hub or switch, enabling users of those networked PCs access to one another's
hard drives, printers or perhaps a shared Internet connection.
Both Client and Server
In effect, every connected PC is at once a server and a client. There's no

special network operating system residing on a robust machine that supports
special server-side applications like directory services (specialized databases
that control who has access to what).
In a P2P environment, access rights are governed by setting sharing

permissions on individual machines.
For example, if User A's PC is connected to a printer that User B wants

to access, User A must set his machine to allow (share) access to the printer.
Similarly, if User B wants to have access to a folder or file, or even a complete
hard drive, on User A's PC, User A must enable file sharing on his PC. Access
to folders and printers on an office P2P network can be further controlled by
assigning passwords to those resources.
Navigating a P2P Network
This diagram shows how a P2P network operates. The solid lines
indicate physical, hard-wired network cables. The dotted lines indicate that
each PC can communicate and share files with every other PC on such a
network. A printer attached to one PC can be used by other PCs on the
network—if that printer’s PC allows such use.

Peer-To-Peer Network Setup
Introduction
When building a network, you can physically connect the computers before or
after installing (or checking) the operating systems. After installing the
operating system, there are a few you should check to make sure a computer
is working.One of the things you should do is to check that a computer can
communicate with others.
Performance Objective :To set up peer to peer network
Supplies/Materials : 2 straight thoughutp cable with rj 45 both ends
Equipment: Complete set of computer, avr or ups, wireless router, switch

hub
Steps/Procedure:
Wired Networking
To connect the computers:
1. Shut down all computers and the router (if necessary)
2. Turn on one computer you will use to setup the router
3. Your router should have come equipped with a piece of paper or a
brochure of just a few pages that lists the instructions to follow to setup
the router. One of the early instructions may ask you to insert the CD
that came with the router, in the CD drive and wait for the instructions.
Follow these instructions faithfully
4. After setting up and configuring the router, turn it off and turn off the
computer you used to set it up (this step is optional)
5. Connect each of the other computers to the router using an RJ-45 cable
for each connection:

Accessing the Network
After installing the operating systems on the computers, a network, named a
homegroup, is automatically created, and that network is called Homegroup.
Microsoft Windows 7 provides a fast way to create a peer-to-peer network.
6. To use it, start Windows Explorer. Depending on the computer or its
manufacturer, in the left frame, you may see an icon labeled
Homegroup:
7. If you see it, click it. A new window may come up:

COMPUTER SYSTEMS

SERVICING NC II
Page 24 of 124
8. Read the text and click Join Now. Another window would come up:
9. Click Next. You will be asked to provide a password.
Wireless Networking
If you plan to let some computers access the network wirelessly (using a
router that has wireless capability), you may need to use one computer to set
it up.
To do this:
10. Start the computer you will use to setup the router (you should turn the
others off):

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 25 of 124
11. Most, if not all, wireless routers come with very easy to follow
instructions. Most of them usually ask you to first insert the disc that
accompanies the router, that is, before physically installing the router.
Consult the documentation (usually just one or a few pieces of paper or
a small brochure) and faithfully follow its disc's instructions. At one
time, the instructions would indicate to you when to connect the
computer and the wireless router. To do this, you will use a cable
(usually supplied to you) to connect one end to the computer and
another end to the router:
Because the steps to perform depend on the router (or the

manufacturer), we will let you perform as described by their
documentation
12. After installing and setting up the wireless router, turn it off and turn
the computer off
13. For any computer that doesn't have a wireless network card but has a
wired network card, connect it to a port of the wireless router using an
RJ-45 cable. The computers that have a network card will not need a
physical connection to the wireless router:

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 26 of 124
14. Turn on the router. After a few seconds, turn on the computers one by
one.
You may not need to check whether they work at this time or not.
Checking Network Connectivity
15. On the Taskbar of a computer that is a member of the network, you
should see the icon for the network connectivity. The icon may appears
empty:
That's good (this is not a guaranty that everything is alright but probably
everything is fine).
If the icon appears with a rotating cursor, the computer is probably looking
for a network:
In this case, you should let it continue searching.

The icon may appear with an orange ball:
16. Click that icon to show a list of available networks (from your neighbors)
and click the name of your network.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 27 of 124
If the icon appears with a red X or any suspicious sign, it means something
is wrong:
17. If the computer connects using a cable (wired connection), the first thing
you should check is whether the network cable is connected. If it's not,
connect it and check the icon again. If the cable is connected, the next
thing is to check whether the driver for the network card is installed and
up-to-date. To check it, click Start, right-click Computer, and click
Manage. On the left, click Device Manager. Check how Ethernet
Controller and/or Network Controller appear. If either or both have an
exclamation mark in their icon, ...
... right-click the item and click Properties (you can also double-click it). A
dialog box would come up. It may display a message that the drivers are not
installed:

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 28 of 124
There are various ways you can get the drivers. One way is to get to the web
site of the manufacturer, download the driver, and install it. Then check the
icon again.
Network Discovery
18. Network discovery makes it possible for a computer to allow other

computers to "see" it on the network. If you have a computer that needs
to participate in a network, you should allow network discovery on it. To
do that, open 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...":

under the Users folder. The files in local user profiles can be accessed only
from the current computer, which makes it difficult for users who use more
than one computer to work with their data and synchronize settings between
multiple computers. Two technologies exist to address this problem: Roaming
Profiles and Folder Redirection. Both technologies have their advantages, and
they can be used separately or together to create a seamless user experience
from one computer to another. They also provide additional options for
administrators managing user data.
Folder Redirection lets administrators redirect the path of a folder to a
new location. The location can be a folder on the local computer or a directory
on a network file share. Users can work with documents on a server as if the
documents were based on a local drive. The documents in the folder are
available to the user from any computer on the network. Folder Redirection is
located under Windows Settings in the console tree when you edit domain-
based Group Policy by using the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
The path is [Group Policy Object Name]\User Configuration\Policies\Windows
Settings\Folder Redirection .
Recent changes to Folder Redirection
Folder Redirection now includes the following features:
• The ability to redirect more folders in the user profile folders than in
earlier Windows operating systems. This includes
the Contacts , Downloads , Favorites , Links , Music , Saved
Games , Searches , and Videos folders.
• The ability to apply settings for redirected folders to Windows® 2000,

Windows 2000 Server®, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003
computers. You have the option to apply the settings that you configure
on Windows Server® 2008 R2, Windows® 7, Windows Server 2008, or
Windows Vista® only to computers that are running those operating
systems, or to apply them to computers that are running earlier
Windows operating systems also. For these earlier Windows operating
systems, you can apply these settings to folders that can be redirected.

These are the Application Data , Desktop , My Documents , My

the Settings tab in the Properties for the folder, under Select the
redirection settings for [FolderName] .
• The option to have the Music , Pictures , and Videos folders follow
the Documents folder. In Windows operating systems earlier than
Windows Vista, these folders were subfolders of the Documents folder.
By configuring this option, you resolve any issues related to naming and
folder structure differences between and earlier and more recent
Windows operating systems. This option is available in the Target tab in
the Propertiesfor the folder, under Settings .
• The ability to redirect the Start Menu folder to a specific path for all
users. In Windows XP, the Start Menufolder could be redirected only to
a shared target folder.
Note
This capability is new only to the Start Menu folder. All other
redirectable folders in Windows Vista and later versions can also be

Advantages of Folder Redirection
• Even if users log on to different computers on the network, their data is

always available.
• Offline File technology (which is turned on by default) gives users access

to the folder even when they are not connected to the network. This is
especially useful for people who use portable computers.
• Data that is stored in a network folder can be backed up as part of

routine system administration. This is safer because it requires no
action by the user.
• If you use Roaming User Profiles, you can use Folder Redirection to
reduce the total size of your Roaming Profile and make the user logon
and logoff process more efficient for the end-user. When you deploy
Folder Redirection with Roaming User Profiles, the data synchronized
with Folder Redirection is not part of the roaming profile and is
synchronized in the background by using Offline Files after the user has
logged on. Therefore, the user does not have to wait for this data to be
synchronized when they log on or log off as is the case with Roaming
User Profiles.
• Data that is specific to a user can be redirected to a different hard disk

on the user's local computer from the hard disk that holds the operating
system files. This makes the user's data safer in case the operating
system has to be reinstalled.

• As an administrator, you can use Group Policy to set disk quotas,
limiting how much space is taken up by user profile folders.
Selecting a Folder Redirection target

The Target tab of the folder's Properties box enables you to select the location
of the redirected folder on a network or in the local user profile. You can
choose between the following settings:
• Basic—Redirect everyone's folder to the same location . This setting

enables you to redirect everyone's folder to the same location and is
applied to all users included in the Group Policy object (GPO). For this
setting, you have the following options in specifying a target folder
location:
o Create a folder for each user under the root path . This option
creates a folder in the form\\server\share\User Account
Name\Folder Name . Each user has a unique path for their
redirected folder.
Note
If you enable the Also apply redirection policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000
Server, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems option on
the Settings tab, this option is not available for the Start Menu folder.
• Redirect to the following location . This option uses an explicit path for
the redirection location. This can cause multiple users to share the
same path for the redirected folder.
• Redirect to the local user profile location . This option moves the
location of the folder to the local user profile under the Users folder.
• Advanced—Specify locations for various user groups . This setting

enables you to specify redirection behavior for the folder based on the
security group memberships for the GPO.
• Follow the Documents folder . This option is available only for

the Music , Pictures , and Videos folders. This option resolves any issues
related to naming and folder structure differences between Windows 7
and Windows Vista, and earlier Windows operating systems. If you
choose this option, you cannot configure any additional redirection
options or policy removal options for these folders, and settings are
inherited from theDocuments folder.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 38 of 124
Note
This behavior also occurs by default if you enable the Also apply redirection
policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP, and Windows
Server 2003 operating systems option on the Settings tab when you configure
redirection settings for the Documents folder.
• Not configured . This is the default setting. This setting specifies that
policy-based folder redirection was removed for that GPO and the folders
are redirected to the local user profile location or stay where they are
based on the redirection options selected if any existing redirection
policies were set. No changes are being made to the current location of
this folder.
Configuring additional settings for the redirected folder

In the Settings tab in the Properties box for a folder, you can enable these
settings:
• Grant the user exclusive rights . This setting is enabled by default and is
a recommended setting. This setting specifies that the administrator and
other users do not have permissions to access this folder.
• Move the contents of [FolderName] to the new location . This setting

moves all the data the user has in the local folder to the shared folder on
the network.
• Also apply redirection policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server,

Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems . This
enables folder redirection to work withWindows 7 and Windows Vista,
and earlier Windows operating systems. This option applies only to
redirectable folders in earlier Windows operating systems, which are
the Application Data , Desktop , My Documents , My Pictures ,
and Start Menufolders.

The AppData/Roaming (previously Application Data in earlier Windows
operating systems) folder in Windows Vista now contains several folders that
were previously under the root folder of the User Profile folder in earlier
Windows operating systems. For example, in earlier Windows operating
systems, the Start Menu folder was not under the Application Data folder. It
might not make sense to redirect all the folders under Application Datawhen
you enable the Also apply redirection policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000
Server, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems setting.
Therefore, if you choose this setting, Windows 7 and Windows Vista do not

Active Directory
understand the function of active directory services
Active Directory (AD) is a directory service that Microsoft developed

for Windows domain networks. It is included in most Windows
Server operating systems as a set of processes and services. Initially, Active
Directory was only in charge of centralized domain management. Starting with
Windows Server 2008, however, Active Directory became an umbrella title for
a broad range of directory-based identity-related services.
A server running Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is called
a domain controller. It authenticates and authorizes all users and computers
in a Windows domain type network—assigning and enforcing security policies
for all computers and installing or updating software. For example, when a
user logs into a computer that is part of a Windows domain, Active Directory
checks the submitted password and determines whether the user is a system
administrator or normal user.
Domain Services
Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is the cornerstone of
every Windows domain network. It stores information about members of the
domain, including devices and users, verifies their credentials and defines
their access rights. The server (or the cluster of servers) running this service is
called a domain controller. A domain controller is contacted when a user logs
into a device, access another device across the network or runs a line-of-
business Metro-style app side loaded into a device.
Objects
Asimplified example of a publishing company's internal network. The
company has four groups with varying permissions to the three shared folders
on the network.
Active Directory structures are arrangements of information
about objects. The objects fall into two broad categories: resources (e.g.,
printers) and security principals (user or computer accounts and groups).
Security principals are assigned unique security identifiers(SIDs).
Each object represents a single entity—whether a user, a computer, a
printer, or a group—and its attributes. Certain objects can contain other
objects. An object is uniquely identified by its name and has a set of
attributes—the characteristics and information that the object represents—

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 54 of 124
defined by a schema, which also determines the kinds of objects that can be
stored in Active Directory.
The schema object lets administrators extend or modify the schema
when necessary. However, because each schema object is integral to the
definition of Active Directory objects, deactivating or changing these objects
can fundamentally change or disrupt a deployment. Schema changes
automatically propagate throughout the system. Once created, an object can
only be deactivated—not deleted. Changing the schema usually requires
planning.
Forests, trees, and domains
The Active Directory framework that holds the objects can be viewed at a
number of levels. The forest, tree, and domain are the logical divisions in an
Active Directory network.
Within a deployment, objects are grouped into domains. The objects for
a single domain are stored in a single database (which can be replicated).
Domains are identified by theirDNS name structure, the namespace.
A domain is defined as a logical group of network objects (computers,
users, devices) that share the same Active Directory database.
A tree is a collection of one or more domains and domain trees in a
contiguous namespace, linked in a transitive trust hierarchy.
At the top of the structure is the forest. A forest is a collection of trees
that share a common global catalog, directory schema, logical structure, and
directory configuration. The forest represents the security boundary within
which users, computers, groups, and other objects are accessible.
Organizational units
The objects held within a domain can be grouped into Organizational
Units (OUs). OUs can provide hierarchy to a domain, ease its administration,
and can resemble the organization's structure in managerial or geographical
terms. OUs can contain other OUs—domains are containers in this sense.
Microsoft recommends using OUs rather than domains for structure and to
simplify the implementation of policies and administration. The OU is the
recommended level at which to apply group policies, which are Active
Directory objects formally named Group Policy Objects (GPOs), although
policies can also be applied to domains or sites (see below). The OU is the level
at which administrative powers are commonly delegated, but delegation can be
performed on individual objects or attributes as well.

Preparation for Active Directory Domain Services Installation
learn to prepare the internet protocol address before installing Active Directory
Services.
Before installing Active Directory Domain Services on Windows Server 2008

R2, the operating system must be prepared accordingly. Preparation of
Windows Server 2008 R2 includes:
• Assigning a static IP address to the computer.

• Renaming the computer to something more specific and self-explanatory
name.
• Verifying that the computer has correct time zone configured in it.
• Specifying appropriate IP address of any existing DNS server in the network.
Note: Loopback address (127.0.0.1) can be used in case no DNS server is
present in the network, and administrators plan to install the DNS server role
on the domain controller itself during AD DS installation.
• Checking if the computer is connected to the network and the entire

network is running properly.
• Verifying that the computer has latest security patches and updates
installed in it.
• Verifying if the computer has sufficient amount of free disk space to hold
appropriate services and features along with all the required applications.
• Verifying that the physical security of the computer is strong and
impeccable.
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...":

COMPUTER SYSTEMS

SERVICING NC II
Page 58 of 124
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

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 59 of 124
Normally, when you have finished 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
Every computer on the network needs an IP address so that other computers

of the network can locate it (just like every house needs a physical address
so that the post office and other people can find it).
A computer has two main ways of getting an IP address:

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

Information Sheet 3.2 - 3
A Domain Name System (DNS)
learn about domain name system (dns).
A Domain Name System (DNS)
As you may know already, whether it belongs to a network or not, every

computer must have a name. Furthermore, if it belongs to a network, a
computer must provide a way to be found by other computers. This can be
done using its name. This means that other computers must be able to
contact other fellow computers using the names.
In a network, to exchange information or to share resources, computers

communicate using languages also called protocols. One of the languages or
protocols is called Transmission Control Protocol or TCP. Another language
is called Internet protocol or IP. These two languages are usually used
together in a combination named TCP/IP.
To locate each other using TCP/IP, each computer must have an

address, named an IP address, made of a combination of numbers separated
by periods. An example is 192.168.1.248. Each computer has such a
number (address) but the number (the address) assigned to a computer
must be unique among the numbers used by other computers. As a result, a
computer can be contacted using its address. In a large network with dozens
or hundreds or thousands of computers, it can be cumbersome to keep track
of these complex numbers. A solution is to use software, named a server, so
that, if you provide the name of the computer, the server can "translate" the
name into the corresponding computer that use the actual IP address of the
computer.
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.

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

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)

Logging In to the Network
To use the network, a user must log in. This is done by providing 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

iv. Click OK
Optionally Creating a Computer Account

After creating a domain, you 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. Here is an example:

COMPUTER SYSTEMS

SERVICING NC II
Page 100 of 124
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
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

Page 101 of 124
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

Troubleshooting and Testing Network Settings
enable to fix, troubleshoot and resolve network problems.
Troubleshooting and testing network settings
Windows Operating system includes many tools for troubleshooting and

testing TCP/IP connectivity. This section looks at automated diagnostics, basic
tests that you should perform whenever you install or modify a computer's
network settings, and techniques for resolving difficult networking problems
involving DHCP and DNS. The final section shows you how to perform detailed
network diagnostics testing.
Diagnosing and resolving local area connection problems
Occasionally network cables can get unplugged or the network adapter

might experience a problem that temporarily prevents it from working. After
you plug the cable back in or solve the adapter problem, the connection
should automatically reconnect. To diagnose local area connection problems,
follow these steps:
1. Click Start and then click Network. In Network Explorer, click Network
and Sharing Center on the toolbar.
2. In Network and Sharing Center, click Manage Network Connections.
3. Right-click the connection you want to work with and select Diagnose.
Windows network diagnostics will then try to identify the problem. A list of
possible solutions is provided for identifiable configuration problems. Some
solutions provide automated fixes that you can execute by clicking the
solution. Other solutions require manual fixes; such as might be required if
you need to reset a network router or broadband modem. If your actions don't
fix the problem, refer to other appropriate parts of this troubleshooting
section.
Diagnosing and resolving internet connection problems
Because of the many interdependencies between services, protocols, and

configuration settings, troubleshooting network problems can be difficult.
Fortunately, Windows Server 2008 includes a powerful network diagnostics
tool for pinpointing problems that relate to the following:

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 113 of 124
• General network connectivity problems
• Internet service settings for e-mail, newsgroups, and proxies
• Settings for modems, network clients, and network adapters
• DNS, DHCP, and WINS configuration
• Default gateways and IP addresses
To diagnose internet connection problems, follow these steps:
2. Click Diagnose and Repair.
Windows network diagnostics will then try to identify the problem. If

identifiable configuration problems exist, a list of possible solutions is
provided. Some solutions provide automated fixes that you can execute by
clicking the solution. Other solutions require manual fixes; such as might be
required if you need to reset a network router or broadband modem. If your
actions don't fix the problem, refer to other appropriate parts of this
troubleshooting section.
Performing basic network tests
Whenever you install a new computer or make configuration changes to the
computer's network settings, you should test the configuration. The most
basic TCP/IP test is to use the PING command to test the computer's
connection to the network. PING is a command-line command. To use it,
type ping host at the command prompt, where host is either the computer
name or the IP address of the host computer you're trying to reach.
With Windows Server 2008, you can use the following methods to test the
configuration using ping:
• Try to ping IP addresses if the computer is configured correctly and the

host you're trying to reach is accessible to the network, ping should
receive a reply, as long as pinging is allowed by the computer's firewall.
If ping can't reach the host or is blocked by a firewall, ping times out.
• On domains that use WINS, try to ping NetBIOS computer names if
NetBIOS computer names are resolved correctly by ping, the NetBIOS
facilities, such as WINS, are correctly configured for the computer.
• On domains that use DNS, try to ping DNS host names if fully
qualified DNS host names are resolved correctly by ping, DNS name
resolution is configured properly.
You might also want to test network browsing for the computer. If the
computer is a member of a Windows Server 2008 domain and computer
browsing is enabled throughout the domain, log on to the computer and then
use windows explorer or Network Explorer to browse other computers in the

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 114 of 124
domain. Afterward, log on to a different computer in the domain and try to
browse the computer you just configured. These tests tell you if the DNS
resolution is being handled properly in the local environment. If you can't
browse, check the configuration of the DNS services and protocols.
In some cases, discovering and sharing might be set to block discovery. You'll
need to allow discovery to resolve this by following these steps:
1. Click Start and then click Network.

2. In Network Explorer, click Network and Sharing Center on the toolbar.
3. If Network Discovery is set to Off, expand the Sharing and Discovery
panel using the Expand button, click Turn On Network Discovery, and
then click Apply to turn on this feature.
Diagnosing and resolving IP addressing problems
The current IP address settings of a computer can be obtained as discussed

in "viewing network configuration information. If a computer is having
problems accessing network resources or communicating with other
computers, an IP addressing problem might exist. Take a close look at the IP
address currently assigned, as well as other IP address settings, and use the
following tips to help in your troubleshooting:
• If the IPv4 address currently assigned to the computer is in the range

169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254, the computer is using Automatic
Private IP Addressing (APIPA). An automatic private IP address is
assigned to a computer when it is configured to use DHCP and its DHCP
client cannot reach a DHCP server. When using APIPA, Windows Server
2008 will automatically periodically check for a DHCP server to become
available. If a computer doesn't eventually obtain a dynamic IP address,
the network connection usually has a problem. Check the network
cable, and if necessary trace the cable back to the switch or hub into
which it connects.
• If the IPv4 address and the subnet mask of the computer are currently
set as 0.0.0.0, the network is either disconnected or someone attempted
to use a static IP address that duplicated another IP address already in
use on the network. In this case, you should access Network
Connections and determine the state of the connection. If the
connection is disabled or disconnected, this should be shown. Right-
click the connection and select Enable or Diagnose as appropriate. If the
connection is already enabled, you will need to modify the IP address
settings for the connection.
• If the IP address is dynamically assigned, make sure that another
computer on the network isn't using the same IP address. You can do
this by disconnecting the network cable for the computer that you are

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 115 of 124
working with and pinging the IP address in question. If you receive a
response from the ping test, you know that another computer is using
the IP address. This computer probably has an improper static IP
address or a reservation that isn't set up properly.
• If the IP address appears to be set correctly, check the subnet mask,
gateway, DNS, and WINS settings by comparing the network settings of
the computer you are troubleshooting with those of a computer that is
known to have a good network configuration. One of the biggest problem
areas is the subnet mask. When subnetting is used, the subnet mask
used in one area of the network might look very similar to that of
another area of the network. For example, the subnet mask in one IPv4
area might be 255.255.255.240, and it might be 255.255.255.248 in
another IPv4 area.
When you are using static IP addressing, you can check the current IPv4 or
IPv6 settings by entering ipconfig /all at a command prompt. The display of
the ipconfig /all command includes IPv4/IPv6 addresses, default routers, and
DNS servers for all interfaces. You can also check IPv4 and IPv6 addressing
separately. To check the IPv4 addressing configuration, enter netsh interface
IPv4 show address. To check IPv6 addressing, enter netsh interface IPv6 show
address. To use netsh to show the configuration of a remote computer use
the –r Remote Computer Name command line option. For example, to display
the configuration of the remote computer named corpserver26, you would
enter netsh -r corpserver26 interface IPv4 show address.
To make changes to the configuration of IP interfaces, use the netsh interface
IPv4 set interface and netsh interface IPv6 set interface commands. To add the
IP addresses of DNS servers, use the netsh interface IPv4 add DNS and netsh
interface IPv6 add DNS commands.
Diagnosing and resolving routing problems
As part of troubleshooting, you can verify the reachability of local and

remote destinations. You can ping your default router by its IPv4 or IPv6
address. You can obtain the local IPv4 address of your default router by
entering netsh interface IPv4 show routes. You can obtain the link-local IPv6
address of your default router by entering netsh interface IPv6 show routes.
Pinging the default router tests whether you can reach local nodes and
whether you can reach the default router, which forwards IP packets to remote
nodes.
When you ping the default IPv6 router, you must specify the zone identifier
(id) for the interface on which you want the icmpv6 echo request messages to
be sent. The zone id for the default router is listed when you enter the ipconfig
/all command.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 116 of 124
If you are able to ping your default router, ping a remote destination by its
IPv4 or IPv6 address. If you are unable to ping a remote destination by its IP
address, there might be a routing problem between your node and the
destination node. Enter tracert -d ipaddress to trace the routing path to the
remote destination you use the -d command-line option to speed up the
response by preventing tracert from performing a reverse DNS query on every
near-side router interface in the routing path.
The inability to reach a local or remote destination might be due to
incorrect or missing routes in the local IP routing table. To view the local IP
routing table, enter the netsh interface IPv4 show routes or netsh interface
IPv6 show routes command. Use the command output to verify that you have
a route corresponding to your local subnet. The route with the lowest metric is
used first. If you have multiple default routes with the same lowest metric, you
might need to modify your IP router configuration so that the default route
with the lowest metric uses the interface that connects to the correct network.
You can add a route to the IP routing table by using the netsh interface IPv4
add route or netsh interface IPv6 add route command. To modify an existing
route, use the netsh interface IPv4 set route or the netsh interface IPv6 set
route command. To remove an existing route, use the netsh interface IPv4
delete route or netsh interface IPv6 delete route command.
If you suspect a problem with router performance, use the pathping -
d ipaddress command to trace the path to a destination and display
information on packet losses for each router in the path. You use the -d
command-line option to speed up the response by preventing pathping from
performing a reverse DNS query on every near-side router interface in the
routing path.
Checking ipsec policies and windows firewall
The problem with reaching a destination node might be due to the

configuration of internet protocol security (ipsec) or packet filtering. Check for
ipsec policies that have been configured on the computer having the problem,
on intermediate IPv6 routers, and on the destination computer. On computers
running windows xp or later, ipsec is configured using windows firewall with
advanced security.
In many cases, packet filtering is configured to allow specific types of traffic
and discard all others, or to discard specific types of traffic and accept all
others. Because of this, you might be able to view web pages on a web server,
but not ping the web server by its host name or IP address.
Each network connection configured on a computer can be enabled or
disabled in the windows firewall. When enabled, IPv4 and IPv6 drop incoming
requests. During troubleshooting, you can disable the windows firewall for a
specific IPv4 or IPv6 interface with the netsh interface IPv4 set interface
interface=NameOrIndex firewall=disabled and netsh interface IPv6 set interface

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 117 of 124
interface=NameOrIndex firewall=disabled commands. You can also completely
turn off the windows firewall with the netsh firewall set opmode
disable command. Don't forget to re-enable the firewall when you are done
troubleshooting.
Releasing and renewing DHCP settings
DHCP servers can assign many network configuration settings

automatically, including IP addresses, default gateways, primary and
secondary DNS servers, primary and secondary WINS servers, and more.
When computers use dynamic addressing, they are assigned a lease on a
specific IP address. This lease is good for a specific time period and must be
renewed periodically. When the lease needs to be renewed, the computer
contacts the DHCP server that provided the lease. If the server is available, the
lease is renewed and a new lease period is granted. You can also renew leases
manually as necessary on individual computers or by using the DHCP server
itself.
Problems that prevent network communications can occur during the lease
assignment and renewal process. If the server isn't available and cannot be
reached before a lease expires, the IP address can become invalid. If this
happens, the computer might use the alternate IP address configuration to set
an alternate address, which in most cases has settings that are inappropriate
and prevent proper communications. To resolve this problem, you'll need to
release and then renew the DHCP lease.
Another type of problem occurs when users move around to various offices
and subnets within the organization. While moving from location to location,
their computers might obtain DHCP settings from the wrong server. When the
users return to their offices, the computer might seem sluggish or perform
incorrectly because of the settings assigned by the DHCP server at another
location. If this happens, you'll need to release and then renew the DHCP
lease.
You can use the graphical interface to release and renew DHCP leases by
following these steps:
2. In Network and Sharing Center, click Manage Network Connections. In
Network Connections, right-click the connection you want to work with
and then select Diagnose.
3. After windows network diagnostics tries to identify the problem, a list of
possible solutions is provided. If the computer has one or more
dynamically assigned IP addresses, one of the solutions should be
Automatically Get New IP Settings.... Click this option.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 118 of 124
You can also follow these steps to use the IPCONFIG command to renew
and release settings:
1. Start an elevated command prompt.

2. To release the current settings for all network adapters, type ipconfig
/release at the command line. Then renew the lease by typingipconfig
/renew.
3. To renew a DHCP lease for all network adapters, type ipconfig /renew at
the command line.
4. You can check the updated settings by typing ipconfig /all at the
command line.
Note If a computer has multiple network adapters and you only want to work
with one or a subset of the adapters, specify all or part of the connection name
after the ipconfig /renew or ipconfig /release command. Use the asterisk as a
wildcard to match any characters in a connection's name. For example, if you
want to renew the lease for all connections with names starting with loc, type
the commandipconfig /renew loc*. If you want to release the settings for all
connections containing the word network, type the command ipconfig /release
*Network*.
Diagnosing and resolving name resolution issues
When you can reach a destination using an IP address but not reach a host
using a host name, you might have a problem with host name resolution.
Typically, name resolution issues have to do with improper configuration of
the DNS client or problems with DNS registration. You can use the following
tasks to troubleshoot problems with DNS name resolution:
• Verify DNS configuration

• Test DNS name resolution with the ping tool
• Use the nslookup tool to view DNS server responses
• Display and flush the DNS client resolver cache
On the computer having DNS name resolution problems, verify the

following information:
• Host name
• The primary DNS suffix
• DNS suffix search list
• Connection-specific DNS suffixes
• DNS servers

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Issued by:
SERVICING NC II
Page 119 of 124
You can obtain this information by entering ipconfig /all at a command
prompt. To obtain information about which DNS names should be registered
in DNS, enter netsh interface IP show DNS.
Computers running windows vista and Windows Server 2008 support DNS
traffic over IPv6. By default, IPv6 configures the well-known site-local
addresses of DNS servers at FEC0:0:0:FFFF::1, FEC0:0:0:FFFF::2, and
FEC0:0:0:FFFF::3. To add the IPv6 addresses of your DNS servers, use the
properties of the Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) component in Network
Connections or the netsh interface IPv6 add DNScommand. To register the
appropriate DNS names as IP address resource records with DNS dynamic
update, use the ipconfig/registerDNS command. Computers running windows
xp or Windows Server 2003 do not support DNS traffic over IPv6.
TCP/IP checks the DNS client resolver cache before sending DNS name
queries. The DNS resolver cache maintains a history of DNS lookups that have
been performed when a user accesses network resources using TCP/IP. This
cache contains forward lookups, which provide host name to IP address
resolution, and reverse lookups, which provide IP address to host name
resolution. After a DNS entry is stored in the resolver cache for a particular
DNS host, the local computer no longer has to query external servers for DNS
information on that host. This enables the computer to resolve DNS requests
locally, providing a quicker response.
How long entries are stored in the resolver cache depends on the time to
live (TTL) value assigned to the record by the originating server. To view
current records and see the remaining TTL value for each record, type ipconfig
/displayDNS in an elevated command prompt. These values are given as the
number of seconds that a particular record can remain in the cache before it
expires. These values are continually being counted down by the local
computer. When the TTL value reaches zero, the record expires and is
removed from the resolver cache.
Occasionally, you'll find that you need to clear out the resolver cache to
remove old entries and enable computers to check for updated DNS entries
before the normal expiration and purging process takes place. Typically, this
happens because server IP addresses have changed and the current entries in
the resolver cache point to the old addresses rather than the new ones.
Sometimes the resolver cache itself can get out of sync, particularly when
DHCP has been misconfigured.
Note Skilled administrators know that several weeks in advance of the actual
change, they should start to decrease the TTL values for DNS records that are
going to be changed. Typically, this means reducing the TTL from a number of
days (or weeks) to a number of hours, which allows for quicker propagation of
the changes to computers that have cached the related DNS records. After the
change is completed, Administrators should restore the original TTL value to
reduce renewal requests.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS

SERVICING NC II
Page 120 of 124
In most cases, you can resolve problems with the DNS resolver cache by
either flushing the cache or reregistering DNS. When you flush the resolver
cache, all DNS entries are cleared out of the cache and new entries are not
created until the next time the computer performs a DNS lookup on a
particular host or IP address. When you reregister DNS, Windows Server 2008
attempts to refresh all current DHCP leases and then performs a lookup on
each DNS entry in the resolver cache. By looking up each host or IP address
again, the entries are renewed and reregistered in the resolver cache. You'll
generally want to flush the cache completely and allow the computer to
perform lookups as needed. Reregister DNS only when you suspect problems
with DHCP and the DNS resolver cache.
You can test DNS name resolution by pinging a destination using its host
name or fully qualified domain name (FQDN). If an incorrect IP address is
shown, you can flush the DNS resolver cache and use the nslookup tool to
determine the set of addresses returned in the DNS Name Query Response
message.
You can use the IPCONFIG command to flush and reregister entries in the
DNS resolver cache by following these steps:
1. Start an elevated command prompt.

2. To clear out the resolver cache, type ipconfig /flushDNS at the
command line.
3. To renew DHCP leases and reregister DNS entries, type ipconfig
/registerDNS at the command line.
4. When the tasks are complete, you can check your work by
typing ipconfig /displayDNS at the command line.
To start nslookup, enter nslookup at a command prompt. At the nslookup>

prompt, use the set d2 command to get detail information about DNS
response messages. Then, use nslookup to look up the desired FQDN. Look for
A and AAAA records in the detailed display of the DNS response messages.
With IPv6, the DNS client maintains a neighbor's cache of recently resolved
link-layer addresses as well as a standard resolver cache. To display the
current contents of the neighbor cache, enter netsh interface IPv6 show
neighbors. To flush the neighbor's cache, enternetsh interface IPv6 delete
neighbors.
For IPv6, the DNS client also maintains a destination cache. The
destination cache stores next-hop IPv6 addresses for destinations. To display
the current contents of the destination cache, enter netsh interface IPv6 show
destination cache command. To flush the destination cache, enter netsh
interface IPv6 delete destination cache.
