    Study Notes

    Planning Installation

    • Smaller networks need minimal planning; larger networks require extensive planning for effective integration.
    • Consider hardware specifications, such as CPU architecture (AMD or Intel), processor type (workstation or server), and the number of physical processors.
    • Use 64-bit processors as Microsoft no longer produces a 32-bit version of its server OS.
    • Ensure CPU supports virtualization extensions for running Hyper-V.

    Other Installation Considerations

    • Choose a unique server name that conveys information like location or function.
    • Windows Server 2012/R2 installs both TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6 by default; a static IP address is preferred over DHCP.
    • Set up the correct time zone crucial for user authentication.
    • Decide on a workgroup or domain; a workgroup suits smaller networks, while domains are more advantageous for larger ones.

    Clean Installation Process

    • A clean installation involves installing the OS on a new disk partition without upgrading from a previous version.
    • Use a DVD for installation, ensuring BIOS is set to boot from the CD/DVD drive initially.
    • The installation typically requires two restarts, followed by setting an administrator password meeting complexity requirements.

    Postinstallation Tasks

    • Activate Windows Server, ideally automatically, within 10 days of installation.
    • Configure system settings: correct date, time, static IP address, computer name, and automatic updates.
    • Download and install available updates post-setup.

    Updating and Patching

    • Patches address bugs and security vulnerabilities, obtainable via Windows Update.
    • Service packs compile all bugs and security updates into a single installation package.

    Expanding the Network

    • Evaluate whether a new server will serve as a domain controller (DC), read-only domain controller (RODC), member server, or standalone server.
    • Adding servers can accommodate company growth, alleviate load on existing servers, or isolate applications for performance optimization.
    • Implementing fault tolerance is key to maintaining productivity; Windows server roles like AD DS and DNS inherently provide fault tolerance.

    Server Core

    • Server Core does not have a GUI and is ideal for specific roles, such as secondary DC, branch office servers, RODCs, or specialized single-role servers (DNS, DHCP).
    • Not recommended as the first server in a network and should be avoided if GUI or full-feature support is required.

    Summary of Key Concepts

    • Installation of Windows Server 2012/R2 emphasizes thorough planning, followed by configuration tasks like naming the server and setting up network options.
    • Decision-making regarding new servers in an existing network involves considerations for domain roles and server types.
    • Upgrades to Windows Server 2012/R2 can only be performed from specific previous versions.
    • Feature on Demand allows for the removal of installation files from the local disk to optimize system resources.

    Planning Installation

    • Smaller networks need minimal planning; larger networks require extensive planning for effective integration.
    • Consider hardware specifications, such as CPU architecture (AMD or Intel), processor type (workstation or server), and the number of physical processors.

    • Feature on Demand allows for the removal of installation files from the local disk to optimize system resources.

    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.
