Windows Server 2003 Features
• Centralized Administration and
Management of Resources
– Active Directory service manages network resources.
– Objects stored in Active Directory are easily
accessible to all users.
– Objects are grouped into units, domains, trees,
forests, and sites.
– Remote system administration through one central
location

Planning a Windows Server
2003 Networking Model
• Networks are communications systems
linking computers and their resources.
– Physically connected by cables or wireless devices
– Can be local or worldwide
• Windows Server 2003 implements two
types of networks.
– Peer-to-peer networking
– Server-based networking
15
Peer-to-peer Networking
• Designed for ten or less
workstations
• Only moderate network
security
– Users manage their own
account information.
• No centralized storage of
information
• No centralized
administration control
– Lack of management for
users and critical files
– Inability to centrally
back up important files
• Slower response times when
sharing resources
16
Server-based Networking
• Users log in once to access
resources.
• Stronger security because of
server management
• Shared files by members
• Shared printers and other
resources
• E-mail capability through an
email server
• Applications stored in a central
location
• Backups scheduled and
performed from a central
location
• Shared resources can reflect
the work patterns of
subgroups.
• More efficient software
upgrades
17
Protocols for the Windows
Server 2003 Networking Model
• (TCP/IP) suite is most
widely used.
– TCP
• Provides connection-
oriented communication
• Sequencing, data flow,
open/close sessions
– IP
• Provides network
addressing
• Routes data over different
networks
• A router reads IP
addresses and forwards
packets to the appropriate
network.
18
IP Addresses
• 32-bits long, with four fields of decimal
values representing 8-bit binary octets
– Example: 10000001.00000101.00001010.01100100
converts to 129.5.10.100 in decimal format
• Divided into a network identifier and a host
identifier
– Example: 192.168.1.40 is host 40 on subnet
198.162.1
19
IP Addresses (cont.)
• Types of transmission
20
Default Gateway & Subnet
Masks
• Default Gateway
– IP address of the network router that connect to other networks
– Used when the destination computer is on another network
• Subnet masks
– Divide a network into sub-networks
– Show the class of address
– Example: Subnet mask for class A addresses: 255.0.0.0
21
IP Address Considerations
• 127.0.0.0 cannot be used for any network.
• 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address.
• Certain addresses are reserved for private
network use (see Table 1-2).
• Network numbers cannot be assigned to a
computer.
• The highest number on a network is reserved for
broadcast messages.
22
Name Resolution
• Computers are usually referred to by name
rather than IP address.
23
Physical Addresses and the
Address Resolution Protocol
• Each workstation network interface card (NIC)
has a physical address called the media access
control (MAC) address.
24
Implementing TCP/IP in
Windows Server 2003
• Installed by default in
Windows Server 2003
• Protocol of choice
• NetBEUI no longer
supported
• Decide on static or
dynamic addressing
25
Dynamic Addressing
• Requires a DHCP Server (Dynamic Host Control
Protocol)
– IP address
– Subnet mask
– Default gateway
– DNS server
26
Automatic Private IP Addressing
• If there is no DHCP server, an IP address in the
range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 is
assigned.
• The computer can only communicate with others
on the same network that are automatically
configured.
• Disable automatic configuration through the
registry, but use caution.
27
Static Addressing
• Use static addressing
for routers, servers
and other critical
devices
