1. Installing Microsoft Server Operating System

1.1 Aim

This week's main aim is to install Microsoft Server Operating System In Oracle
Virtual box. And develop academic skills related to it.

1.2 Objective

I will achieve this aim by meeting the following objectives.

- Examine about various types of virtual box.

- Install Oracle Virtual Box.

- Download Microsoft Server Operating System.iso file.

- Install the Microsoft Server Operating System In the Oracle Virtual Box.

1.3 Required Tools and Concepts

The second workshop uses a variety of tools. Below is a list of them:

 Oracle Virtual box
Oracle Virtual Box, which is both free and simple to use, is the Virtual Box
we use to install the Microsoft Server Operating PC on our system.

 Microsoft server Operating System(.iso file)

An (.iso) file for Microsoft Server Operating System must be obtained in order
to install Microsoft Operating System in Virtual Box.

Virtual boxes are designed to be simple to use. They are now an essential
component of computers for businesses. Software that allows you to use the
computer as an emulator is called a virtual box. Without having to physically
divide the hard drive into partitions, you can run numerous operating systems
on a single machine. No matter what OS you are using, you can run multiple
operating systems simultaneously. You can utilize the system that is installed
independently from the host operating system by using a virtual box, but you
can also benefit from the hardware that is already present in the system.
Given that you will be using that setup to conduct all of your business-oriented
computing, you should take due caution while weighing the benefits and
downsides of Virtual Box.
Advantages:
 Multiple OS in same computer: You may use Virtual Box to run different
operating systems on the same machine. You are free to configure the
system with whatever much hardware you wish to use. The OS in the virtual
box won't occupy a fixed area on the hard disk, just like the actual OS.
 No effect to host machine: On the virtual box, you may also construct a
virtual hard drive as you establish a virtual computer. The benefit is that the
host system won't be impacted at all if the virtual box fails.

 Easy to use and install: In Virtual Box, building a virtual computer is a

straightforward procedure. Depending on your internet speed, downloading
the virtual box just takes a few minutes, and installing it is simple. The virtual
machine setup in the virtual box is covered in numerous step-by-step guides
on the internet.

Disadvantages

 Affected by the host machine weakness: An operating system feature

called process isolation is often used. Well, there are issues that interfere
with this OS feature. Only that system will be impacted if the OS only has one
virtual machine. However, if you use the system to operate many virtual
machines, it will have an impact on all of them.
 Less efficient: On the virtual box, virtual machines perform less effectively
than actual computers. Some requests must be granted by the host
processor since it is running on the host system. Usability will suffer as a
result.
 Dependent on host machine: The virtual box can be set up to run the virtual
machine at a similar or higher performance level than the host computer. The
virtual machine's direct dependence on the host is due to the fact that it uses
the host's hardware. The virtual machine will be more effective and powerful
the quicker and more powerful the host is (QuillBot, 2018).

1.4 Steps required for lab

The processes involved in installing the Microsoft Server Operating System in the
Oracle Virtual Box are shown in the screenshots below:

1.5 Conclusion

In the second week, I discovered Virtual Box. Installing a second operating system
on our existing machine is easy using Virtual Boxes. It does away with the
requirement to buy a second computer to run a separate operating system. I also
discovered how to use Virtual Box to install the Microsoft Server Operating System.
I was successful in achieving all of my goals and objectives for this week.
