Computer Engineering Network Management & Administration [19404]

Experiment No 3

Title : Installation and configuration of Windows server and client.

Course Outcome :
• Identify Need of Network Management and Administration.
• Explain Directory services and Remote Access
• Demonstrate networking protocols and services.
• Install and Configure Network Server Operating System
• Creating and Managing User Accounts.
• Troubleshooting Network.

Theory :
Windows Server is a server operating system developed by Microsoft, designed
to manage network resources, provide services, and support applications in
business environments. It serves as the backbone for various services like Active
Directory, DNS, and file storage, allowing organizations to centralize their
resources and streamline management. Windows Client, on the other hand, refers
to the operating systems designed for individual user machines, which can
connect to the Windows Server to access network services.
Key Components
1. Active Directory (AD): Manages users and resources within a network.
2. Domain Name System (DNS): Resolves domain names to IP addresses.
3. File Services: Manages file sharing and storage on the network.
4. Web Services (IIS): Hosts websites and web applications.
5. Remote Desktop Services (RDS): Allows remote access to applications and
desktops.
6. Virtualization (Hyper-V): Enables the creation and management of virtual
machines.

Need for Windows Server
• Centralized Management: Simplifies the management of user accounts,
devices, and resources.
• Resource Sharing: Facilitates sharing of applications, files, and printers
across the network.
• Data Security: Protects sensitive data and resources through security policies
and access controls.
• Increased Collaboration: Enhances collaboration among users with shared
resources.
Installing and Configuring Windows Server: Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Pre-Installation Requirements
• Hardware Requirements: Ensure the server meets the minimum hardware
requirements (CPU, RAM, disk space).
• Backup: Backup existing data if upgrading or installing on a server with data.
• Installation Media: Obtain Windows Server installation media (USB/DVD
or ISO).
Step 2: Boot from Installation Media
1. Insert the installation media and restart the server.
2. Press the appropriate key (usually F2, F10, DEL) to access BIOS/UEFI
settings.
