Windows Server 2008
How to Install Windows Server 2008 Step by Step Installing Windows Server 2008 is pretty straightforward and is very much like installing Windows Vista, but I thought I'd list the necessary steps here for additional information. For those of you who have never installed Vista before, the entire installation process is different than it used to be in previous Microsoft operating systems, and notably much easier to perform. Using Vista's installation routine is a major benefit, especially for a server OS. Administrators can partition the system's hard drives during setup. More importantly, they can install the necessary AHCI or RAID storage drivers from a CD/DVD or even a USB thumb drive. Thus, error-prone floppies can finally be sent to the garbage bin. Windows Server 2008 can also be installed as a Server Core installation, which is a cut-down version of Windows without the Windows Explorer GUI. Because you don’t have the Windows Explorer to provide the GUI interface that you are used to, you configure everything through the command line interface or remotely using a Microsoft Management Console (MMC). The Server Core can be used for dedicated machines with basic roles such as Domain controller/Active Directory Domain Services, DNS Server, DHCP Server, file server, print server, Windows Media Server, IIS 7 web server and Windows Server Virtualization virtual server. hardware requirements for Windows Server 2008 Steps to install Windows Server 2008 Insert the appropriate Windows Server 2008 installation media into your DVD drive.

    POS 421 Week 1

    When it comes to installing Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, there are many different server roles that this software operating system has to offer. The first one is Active Directory Certificate Services and Active Directory Domain Services. Active Directory is a huge component when it comes to a server. This service has all the information about all of the users, the computers, and any other device that is connected to the network. The Active Directory assists IT professionals with being able to manage all of this information, and allows them to be able to facilitate any sharing that is going on between any end user in the company. Another role is the Active Directory Federation Services. This lets users have a web sign in capability, that lets users authenticate to different web applications by just logging in with one single user account. Another role that this has is the application server. This is a major role because the server can be used to hose and manage all of the critical business applications that the company needs to use. One major component also is the DHCP server, which the Windows Server does play a huge role in. The DHCP server is what assigns an IP address to any machine that is connecting to the network. This is critical because if the machine can’t get an IP address, then they won’t be able to communicate with the network. Along with the DHCP server, another role is the capability of being the fax server. This is self-explanatory, the fax server allows the company to send and receive faxes, and also allows IT personnel to be able to manage these jobs, or any settings or reports that are needed to be shown. Another major role is file services. The server basically holds all of the companies information, or software shares, so that when there is the need for a new install, or an employee needs a new piece…
