Configuring the network server GOUP 3 ® WORKGROUP: Mr. YUSUF Mr. BULHAN Mr. ABSHIR Mr. OSMAN

QUICK TIPS  Clients, which use but do not provide network resources  Peers, which both use and provide network resources  Servers, which provide network resources

SERVER HARDWARE Hardware requirements for servers vary, depending on the server application. Absolute CPU speed is not usually as critical to a server as it is to a desktop machine.

SERVER SOFTWARE Server-oriented operating systems tend to have certain features in common that make them more suitable for the server environment NOS Server Operating Systems has a common name which is NOS

NETWORK OPERTING SYSTEM Is the software that runs on a server and enables the server to manage data, users, groups, security, applications  Allow shared files.  Allow printer access among multiple computers.

NT server installation You’ll need to know how to install the server OS on the server computer, this is because the server software is usually installed when a network is put to gather, unlike the software for a client PC.

STEPS & PROCEDURES You should to prepare several things in advance in order to make the installation process goes smoothly. Hardware Compatibility list.Hardware Compatibility list. Server naming and TCP/IP installation.Server naming and TCP/IP installation. HDD PartitioningHDD Partitioning

STEPS & PROCEDURES The server OS installation process will not be the same every time you install it. It varies depending on : CPUs, Hardware devices and adaptors, the size and the time of network, the jobs and tasks the server will perform.

Understanding Server Roles and Features Windows Server 2008 is designed around certain roles and features. A role is a primary duty that a server performs. A feature is something that helps a server perform its primary duty (Windows Backup, network load balancing).

SERVER ROLES

1.Active Directory Certificate Services. 1.Active Directory Certificate Services. Provides the services for creating and managing public key certificates used in most aspects of security today, including HTTP Security (HTTPS)

2. Active Directory Domain Services. 2. Active Directory Domain Services. Previously known as just Active Directory, AD Domain Services stores information about users, computers, and other devices on the network in a security boundary known as a domain.

3. Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS). 3. Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS). Provides Web single-sign-on (SSO) capabilities across separate organizations

4. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server. 4. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server. Allows servers to assign or lease IP addresses to computers and other devices that are enabled as DHCP clients on the network.

5. Hyper-V. 5. Hyper-V. Provides the services that you can use to create and manage virtual machines (VMs) and their resources. Hyper-V will ship within 180 days of the Server 2008 launch, but a beta version is supplied with the 2008 RTM.

6. Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) Services. 6. Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) Services. UDDI Services provides description, discovery, and integration capabilities for sharing information about Web services within an organization's intranet, between business partners on an extranet, or on the Internet.

Configuring the network adapter card An adapter card is an internal card that enables your computer to communicate with another peripheral such as a monitor.

CONFIGURATION To configure Network Adapter Card you will also have to determine which network protocols you want to use. Windows NT gives you three choices: 1.TCP/IP. 2.IPX. 3.NetBEUI.

IPX IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange. IPX and SPX are networking protocols used primarily on networks using the Novell NetWare operating systems.

NETBEUI Pronounced net-booey, NetBEUI is short for NetBios Extended User Interface.It is an enhanced version of the NetBIOS protocol used by network operating systems such as LAN. IBM,Netbeui was originally designed by IBM, and later extended by Microsoft and Novell.

TO CONFIGURE ADAPTER CARD ON THE REVERSE PROX COMPUTER

TCP/IP IP Address: every computer in a TCP/IP network requires an IP address. Between 0 and An IP address is four numbers (Between 0 and 225, inclusive) separated by periods is a valid IP address

NETWORK APPLICATIONS These are network software applications that utilize the Internet or other network hardware infrastructure to perform useful functions for example file transfers. There are 2 types of network applications:- Pure network applications Standalone network application

A. PURE NETWORK APPLICATIONS These are applications created to be used in networks; using pure network application on a single computer doesn't make sense. Such applications have a separate and distinct user interface that users must learn.

EXAMPLES OF NT App.s 1. programs They allow users to type messages at their local nodes and then send to someone on the network. Examples of electronic mail programs (Clients) are:- Pegasus mail Outlook express Eudora Windows mail Fox mail

EXAMPLES >>> Also there are some other network applications such as: Opera, Poco mail, WindMozilla,Thunderbird, ows mail

2. File transfer protocol (FTP) This application facilities transfer of files from one computer to another e.g. from a client to a server. There are 2 common processes involved in FTP  Downloading:  Uploading:

Examples of FTP programs are:- File-Zilla Internet Download Manager

4. Groupware These applications are used to automate the administration functions of a modern office e.g. video conferencing and chatting. They facilitate the work of groups; they can be used to communicate, co-operate, coordinate, solve problems, compete or negotiate.

VIDEO CONFRENCING & CHATTING

(B) STAND ALONE APPLICATIONS They are applications that run on stand alone computers. In order to extend their activity, they are rebuild to run on network environments e.g. word processors, spreadsheets, database management systems, presentations graphics, project management etc. They function even when the computer is offline.

CENTERALIZED COMPUTERS Is computing done at a central location, using terminals that are attached to a central computer. The computer itself may control all the peripherals directly (if they are physically connected to the central computer), or they may be attached via a terminal server. Alternatively, if the terminals have the capability, they may be able to connect to the central computer over the network
