2. Agenda • Introductions and overview • Course Content • Course Overview • Syllabus • Timeline • Review Active Directory • Windows Server Backup

3. Do you belong in this course? • Have you taken Network: Network: Microsoft Server 1 • Do you have experience with Microsoft operating systems and general networking knowledge. • Do you know what an IP address is? • Basic Active Directory experience/management • Do you know what Active Directory DNS is and how important it is to AD networking • Microsoft domain networking • File sharing and NTFS security practices • Server Operating system installations and configurations • OSI reference model • Basic network protocol routing. • If not, you should reconsider your decision to take this course immediately. • If you withdraw today, you can receive a full refund. Tomorrow, only 80%.

4. Goals throughout this course • Technical • Get a higher understanding of: • Microsoft Server 200x • Active Directory Domain Services • Advanced “out of the box” Server 200x features • MORE Group Policies • Desktop “across the wire” deployments/rollouts • Remote Desktop Services • DNS • File Sharing and securing file systems • Data backups and disaster recovery • VPN and NAT • Microsoft Virtualization • Troubleshooting • Etc. • Non-technical • Communication • Interpersonal

5. Course Overview • 2 hour Lecture-4 hour Lab format • Labs are typically dependent upon each other. • Most presentations and labs highlight topics that will be on quizzes • Grade is based up: • Formative Assessments • Several lab exercises • Quizzes (expect 3-6) • Summative Assessments • Midterm written • Final written • Final lab practical • You will form groups for some exercises towards the end of the semester

6. Syllabus • Review (see handout)

7. Documentation • Communicating effectively in class and the workplace is a top 5 skill set that employers look for!

8. Timeline • Website • http://network.nwtc.edu/mteske • This is subject to change

9. Capstone • Some of the work you do in this class will be revisited in the Capstone course. • It is important that you work on tasks that round out your skills rather than doing what you already know well. • It is important that you document your work so that it can be an aid to you and your teammates as well as for the Capstone course. • If team members are assigned a certain task, it is important for you to understand how the accomplished their task and vice versa.

10. General • This is course is intended to provide a further understanding of the Microsoft Server platform and what’s “in the box” as well as utilizing third party applications to help administrate a Microsoft network. • This is NOT an entirely step-by-step-read-the-lab-and-press-the-keys course. • Your lab exercises are functional. • Here are some steps. Get X to work. • You may have to rely on your notes from previous courses. • You will have to research solutions to the problems you encounter. • I will provide random resources and links that may help in accomplishing the tasks however it is up to you to use what you need from those resources.

11. Questions?

12. Active Directory Domain Services • Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) • Used to provide several services to an organization. • Basically, a large database of objects and is used to centrally organize all objects within an organization. • Copies of Active Directory(AD) are stored on domain controllers • Workgroup—is a group of users connected in a LAN but each with a computer having its own user accounts. • Domain—used when organization becomes too big for a workgroup. A domain is created when you run DCPROMO.EXE on a server. • Objects—objects within AD are used to represent real-world items. Common objects are user objects and computer objects. These objects can be managed by using AD DS. • Schema—is the definition of all object types that AD can contain and their properties.

13. Active Directory Domain Services • Organizational Units (OU)—are used to organize objects within AD. This makes it easier to manage. You can delegate control to OU’s and link Group Policies to Ous. • Group Policy—a Group Policy allows you to configure a setting once and apply that setting to many user/computer objects. • Forest—a forest is a group of one or more domains that share a common AD. A single forest will have only one schema and only one global catalog (GC). • Global catalog—is a listing of all objects in the entire forest. • Directory service—is a network service that stores information about network resources and makes them accessible to users and applications. Directory services are important because they provide a consistent way to name, describe, locate, access, manage, and secure information about these resources

14. Definition Of Acronyms • AD DS—Active Directory Domain Services • AD—Active Directory • DC—Domain Controller • DNS—Domain Name Service • OU—Organizational Unit • GC—Global Catalog

15. Active Directory Logical Structure • Stand-alone servers and workstations use the Security Accounts Manager (SAM) database. • C:\windows\system32\config • AD uses the directory stored in NTDS.DIT • After promoting your server to a domain controller, it no longer uses the SAM, but uses the NTDS.DIT to store all users, passwords and domain objects

16. Domains • In simple terms, a domain is a collection of computers and other objects defined by an administrator to share a common directory database • Security boundary • “like” resources reside in the same domain • Server1.mycompany.local • Workstation1.mycompany.local • Jane.smith@mycompany.local • Unit of replication • Replication is the “copying” of the AD database to other DC’s within same domain

17. DCPROMO • DCPROMO.EXE is used to perform a Domain Controller promotion. • Promotion means that the server will now maintain a copy of the AD database. The server will not have the role of Domain Controller. • Click Start and type DCPROMO.EXE in the search programs box. • Server Manager allows you to add the binaries for the promotion through the Add Roles option. This is unnecessary, DCPROMO will do that for you. • Installs DNS for you. This is required. It will also point your Preferred DNS to 127.0.0.1

18. DCPRPOMO • DCPROMO checklist: • Server name—easier to rename prior to promotion. Still possible after promotion but can cause problems. Typical naming conventions are DC1, DC2 etc. • IP Addresses—the DC should have a static IP address. Disable IPV6 if you are not using it.

19. Active Directory and DNS • DNS is a requirement for Active Directory • Typically, if you have a problem with AD, it’s related to DNS • 70% of all AD problems are related to DNS • DCPROMO does most of the work for you as it relates to installing and configuring DNS.

20. Questions • First LabProtocol • Labs will be available online • Download and read labs. I will not provide hard copy of labs. I will only provide a copy if last minute changes have been made. Otherwise, print in the open labs. • Lab 1 consists of building your own network using Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V
