    Study Notes

    Installing Windows Server 2012/R2

    • Planning required varies based on network size; smaller networks need fewer decisions, larger networks require comprehensive strategies.
    • Hardware considerations include CPU architecture (AMD or Intel), support for up to 64 physical CPUs in servers, and choice between 32-bit and 64-bit processors.
    • Virtualization extensions are crucial for running Hyper-V; keep abreast of disk subsystem technology (FAT, NTFS).
    • Server identity (name) must be unique, incorporate a description, and choose network protocols (TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6) that should enable a static IP for the server.

    Performing Clean Installations

    • Clean installations involve installing the OS on a new disk partition, not an upgrade; typically performed using a DVD.
    • After installation, the Administrator password must be set, requiring a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numerals, and special symbols.
    • Post-installation tasks include activating the server, setting time and time zone, assigning a static IP address, naming the computer, configuring automatic updates, and installing necessary updates.

    Installing Updates

    • Patches fix bugs and security vulnerabilities via Windows Update, which can also manage driver and service pack installations.
    • Service packs consolidate all security updates and bug fixes for more efficient management.

    Expanding Network Infrastructure

    • New servers can be designated as domain controllers (DC) or read-only domain controllers (RODC) to enhance network resilience and manage authentication.
    • Expansion may be driven by growth, server overload, the need to isolate applications, or ensuring fault tolerance.
    • Including servers at branch offices can decrease wide area network (WAN) traffic related to authentication and resource access.

    Server Core Deployment

    • Server Core is a GUI-less installation suitable for specific roles such as secondary DCs, RODC in branch offices, or specialized service servers (DNS, DHCP).
    • Avoid Server Core for the first network server or when a GUI is imperative for server administration.

    Summary of Installation Process

    • Installation is facilitated by planning; most configuration occurs post-installation, including setting server names and configuring network settings.
    • Additional servers can be incorporated as domain controllers or member servers, with in-place upgrades available for Windows Server 2008/R2.
    • Server Core is the recommended installation mode; Feature on Demand allows removal of installed feature files from local disk for efficient space management.
