1. 1 Objectives Discuss the Windows Printer Model and how it is implemented in Windows Server 2008 Install the Print Services components of Windows Server 2008 Deploy printers with Windows Server 2008 Configure printers on a Windows Server 2008 network Describe the various types of hardware used for backups. Understand the difference between full, incremental, and differential backup jobs. Compare Server 2003 and 2008 Backup programs. Back up and restore an Active Directory database. Use volume shadow copies.

2. Printer Model for Windows Server 2008 Components in Windows printing environments –Print device –Printer driver –Printer –Print server In Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista, the printer driver can render print job in –Enhanced metafile (image) –XML paper specification 2

3. Windows Printer Types Locally attached printers –Connected directly to a physical computer port Network attached printers –Using a logical printer on every client Each computer acts as its own print server by maintaining the printer settings and drivers –Using a Windows Server 2008 print server With a print server, all network clients can print through the server when they are connected to it Often, File Services and Print Services are deployed on the same machine because both perform short transactions that work well together 3

4. 4

5. Configuring Printer Resources Sharing a stand-alone Printer –Shared printers are not available in Active Directory by default 5

6. Deploying Printers and Print Services Installing the Print Services role Line Printer Daemon service –Support NON-Windows clients (such as UNIX) that use the Line Printer Remote (LPR) service Internet printing –Role service creates a Web site that hosts printers 6

7. Configure Clients to Access Printer Add Printer Wizard in Control Panel –Adding a Printer with a UNC Path \\print_server_name\printer_share_name –Adding printers using Group Policy Deploy printers to both users (User Configuration) and computers (Computer Configuration) via Group Policy Add Shared Printer Resources with Windows Explorer –Printers share contains all printers available on the print server 7

8. 8

9. Changing Permissions on a Printer Printers use permissions based on Access Control Lists (like NTFS Permission) to manage access and control usage 9

10. Changing the Printer Port – Redirect Print Jobs Printer port –The connection that printers use to send print jobs to a print device Reasons for changing printer ports –Replacing a new print device –Changing the IP address of a network print device –Migrating the jobs on a printer to a different print device when a print device fails Enables users to continue printing without reconfiguration Destination printer must use the same driver type as the original –Creating a printer pool To change the port: –Right Click the printer  Properties  Ports 10

11. Creating a Printer Pool Printer pool –Single printer that sends jobs to multiple print devices –Requirements: you need to have two or more printers that can use the same printer driver 11

12. CONFIGURING MULTIPLE LOGICAL PRINTERS FOR A SINGLE PRINTER

13. Printer Management Console Installed Administrative Tools when the Print Server role service is installed Available as a stand-alone Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or through the Server Manager console 13

14. Troubleshooting Print Failure Determine if failure is confined to a single application Determine if failure is confined to a single workstation –Verify that the print client can connect to the print server Determine if failure is confined to a single user account –Verify that the print client can connect to the print server –Verify the user has Print Permission Determine if failure is confined to a single print device –Verify that the printer is operational Determine if failure is confined to a single print server Verify that the printer can be accessed from the print server –Verify that the print server’s services are running

15. BACKUP HARDWARE CD and DVD External HDD via USB Network Drive MAGNETIC TAPE DRIVES (NO longer supported in 2008. Need third-party backup program) –Use single or double spool magnetic cartridges –Low cost per megabyte –Large capacity –AUTOCHANGERS CD and DVD External HDD via USB Network Drive MAGNETIC TAPE DRIVES (NO longer supported in 2008. Need third-party backup program) –Use single or double spool magnetic cartridges –Low cost per megabyte –Large capacity –AUTOCHANGERS

16. BACKUP SOFTWARE Windows Server Backup (WSB) –Installed using Server Manager  Add Features –Works by using VSS (Volume Shadow copy Service) and the Block Level Backup Engine service Fast Reduce Incremental backup file size –Do not use Archive-bit. –Incompatible with ntbackup Ntbackup for Windows Server 2008 –Download from Microsoft site Third-party software (Veritas Backup Exec, etc)

17. TARGET SELECTION Anything that is to be backed up is considered a backup target, including: –Single file or folder –Entire drive –Entire system –Another system on the network For Windows Server Backup (2008): –Only entire drive

18. NTBACKUP TREE SELECTION Not available in Windows Server 2008

19. USING FILTERS Not available in Windows Server 2008 Filter on file creation date/time, size, or type Allows you to perform customized backups Can reduce the time needed to back up and the amount of media required

20. Server 2003 Backup Job Types Backs up all files Clears the archive bit Can require large data storage capacity BACKUP JOB TYPES: INCREMENTAL Backs up only files that have been modified or created since the last full or incremental backup Clears the archive bit Can require considerably less storage space than a normal backup Backs up only files that have been modified or created since the last full or incremental backup Clears the archive bit Can require considerably less storage space than a normal backup BACKUP JOB TYPES: NORMAL

21. BACKUP JOB TYPES: DIFFERENTIAL Backs up only files that have been modified or created since the last full or incremental backup Does not clear the archive bit Can require considerably less storage space than a normal backup COPY JOBS AND DAILY JOBS Copy job –Backs up all files irrespective of archive bit status –Does not change archive bit status Daily job –Backs up files based on today's date –Does not change archive bit status Copy job –Backs up all files irrespective of archive bit status –Does not change archive bit status Daily job –Backs up files based on today's date –Does not change archive bit status

22. Server 2008 Backup Job Types Volume Snap Shot  Backs up all files Can require large data storage capacity Do NOT use archive bit BACKUP JOB TYPES: INCREMENTAL Backs up only Changed Block, NOT entire changed file Can require considerably less storage space than a 2003 Incremental backup Backs up only Changed Block, NOT entire changed file Can require considerably less storage space than a 2003 Incremental backup BACKUP JOB TYPES: NORMAL

23. JOB SCHEDULING Allows backups to be performed during off-hours Reduces potential for administrative error Limited options available with Windows Server Backup

24. Ntbackup Catalog Allows backup software to keep track of what file is on what tape –Administrators don’t have to remember Can be stored on the system hosting the backup software or the tape BACKUP SECURITY Create specific user account for backups Password-protect tapes Store and transport tapes securely

25. 25 Data Recovery (Restore) ntbackup can recover files and folders, the system state, Active Directory, or the entire server from a backup Windows Server Backup can recover only files, folders, and volumes Command-line utilities used for more complete recovery Amount of time depends on volume of data to be restored and backup type Periodic restores should be performed to test integrity of backups.

26. Perform Restore To start the recovery process, click recover in the Actions pane of Windows Server Backup

28. Restore 2003 Full & Incremental Backups Download ntbackup for Server 2008 Restores the latest full backup Restores incremental backups from oldest to most recent Number of restore steps depends on the time since the last full backup Restore 2003 Full & Differential Backups Restores the latest full backup Restores the latest differential backup Only two restore steps are required

29. Backup Active Directory & System State System States –Registry. –Boot files, –Certificate Services database. –Active Directory directory service. –SYSVOL directory. –Cluster service information. –Internet Information Services (IIS) metadirectory. –System files that have Windows File Protection (WFP). WSB does not support separate System State Backup (WSB backup up entire volume including System State) Powershell command is needed to backup 2008 System State

30. Backup System State with ntbackup in 2003

31. RESTORING ACTIVE DIRECTORY Can only be performed through Directory Services Restore Mode Nonauthoritative restore Used to rebuild a domain controller that has been damaged, using the latest Active Directory information from your other domain controllers Authoritative restore Used when you want to recover Active Directory objects that have been accidentally deleted using a System State backup

32. MCTS Windows Server 2008 Active Directory32 Active Directory Backup and Restoration (cont.)

33. Performing a Full Server Restore Insert a Windows Server 2008 installation disk into the computer’s DVD drive, and start the system. Click Next to accept the default values in the language settings page. The Install Windows page appears. Click Repair Your Computer. Click Windows Complete PC Restore. Click Next to restore from the latest available backup. Select the Format and repartition disks checkbox, and click Next. Click Finish to begin the restoration.

34. 34 Backup and Restore from the Command Line Windows Server Backup has less flexibility than its command-line equivalent utilities Wbadmin.exe can perform all tasks available in Windows Server Backup and more –Perform a system state backup –Recover the system state –Delete a system state backup –Restore or delete a backup catalog Most tasks with Wbadmin require you to be a member of the Backup Operators or Administrators group

35. Volume Shadow Copy Periodically saves copies of files Can be used to restore previous versions of a file Available on XP, 2003, Vista and 2008
