    Study Notes

    Operating Systems Overview

    • Desktop operating systems like Windows 10/11 are designed for personal computers, with capabilities for file and printer sharing.
    • Server operating systems focus on network performance, supporting background processes over traditional desktop applications.

    Windows Server 2012/R2 Functions

    • Provides extensive network services including:
      • File and Printer Sharing
      • Web Server
      • Routing and Remote Access Services (RRAS)
      • Domain Name System (DNS)
      • Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
      • File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Server
      • Active Directory
      • Distributed File System (DFS)
      • Hyper-V for virtualization

    Windows Client vs. Server Features

    • Windows 10/11 limited to functionalities like Hyper-V and file sharing, with a maximum of 20 concurrent users.
    • Windows Server 2012/R2 includes robust fault tolerance features such as RAID 5 and load balancing.

    Editions of Windows Server 2012/R2

    • Editions:
      • Datacenter
      • Standard
      • Essential
      • Foundation
    • Each edition is tailored for different business sizes and service needs.

    Datacenter and Standard Editions

    • Datacenter Edition allows unlimited virtual instances of the OS and requires licenses for every two physical processors.
    • Standard Edition supports the same features as Datacenter but limits virtual instances to two.
    • Both editions support:
      • Up to 4 TB of RAM
      • Up to 64 physical processors
      • Server clusters with up to 64 nodes
      • Installation options without a GUI (Server Core mode)
      • Requires client access licenses (CALs) for each user accessing the server.

    Essential and Foundation Editions

    • Essential Edition:

      • Tailored for small businesses (25 users or fewer).
      • Configured as a root domain controller with Automatic services.
      • Management interface includes a Dashboard and does not require CALs.

      • Limited to 15 users and does not require CALs.
      • Supports a single physical processor and up to 32 GB RAM.
      • Cannot support Hyper-V.

    Cloud Computing and Virtualization

    • Cloud computing abstracts the delivery of computing resources, leveraging virtualization to emulate multiple hardware environments.
    • Virtual machines (VM) simulate physical hardware within a host computer.

    Windows Network Components

    • Network connection consists of networking components working together, including:
      • Network Interface: Includes a network interface card (NIC) and device driver software.
      • Network Protocol: Establishes communication rules between devices.

    Server Roles and Active Directory

    • Server roles define the main functions a server performs, with role services expanding these capabilities.
    • Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) enable a server to function as a domain controller, managing user and computer authentication.

    DHCP and DNS Services

    • DHCP: Automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration to client computers.
    • DNS: Resolves domain names to IP addresses; essential for network resource identification.

    Hyper-V and Remote Access

    • Hyper-V provides virtual machine management capabilities, allowing the installation and operation of multiple OS environments.
    • Remote Access features enable server configurations for VPN services and secure connections for remote users.
