Study Notes
Hypervisor and Virtualization
- Hypervisor is software that creates and manages virtual hardware environments for efficient resource allocation.
Public Cloud vs. Private Cloud
- Public cloud is managed by third-party providers; examples include DropBox, SkyDrive, and Google Apps.
- Private cloud is operated by an internal IT department, typically offering virtual desktops, storage, and applications.
- Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) allows users to connect to a private cloud via web browsers or client software, granting access to desktops from any internet connection.
Windows Server 2012/R2 Core Technologies
- Key components include Server Manager, Active Directory, Microsoft Management Console, Disk Management, File and Printer Sharing, and Windows Networking.
Server Manager
- Central interface for installing, configuring, and managing server roles; assists in diagnosing problems and managing storage.
Active Directory
- Centralized administration for network resources like users and printers; provides authentication and authorization services.
- Works alongside DNS for domain management and resource policies.
Microsoft Management Console
- Offers a centralized management interface; supports remote server connections.
Disk Management
- Tool for overseeing disks and volumes on Windows Server 2012/R2.
File and Printer Sharing
- Advanced features include shadow copies, disk quotas, and Distributed File System (DFS).
Windows Networking Concepts
- Workgroup Model:
- Small, decentralized network for file and printer sharing, best for fewer than 10 users.
- Known as a peer-to-peer network.
- Domain Model:
- Centralized management and security for networks with more than 10 computers.
- Requires at least one domain controller with Active Directory.
Windows Network Components
- Network Interface consists of NIC and device driver software.
- Network Protocol defines communication rules between devices.
- Network Client requests resources from the server, while network server software manages shared resources.
Windows Server Roles
- Server roles define primary functions, which can be enhanced by role services and features.
- A server may operate under a single or multiple roles.
Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS)
- Manages digital certificates and issues them to verify the identity of users and computers.
Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
- Installs Active Directory; transforms a server into a domain controller for user and computer authentication.
DHCP Server
- Automatically assigns IP addresses and configurations to client computers, including default gateway and DNS.
DNS Server
- Resolves names for Internet and domain computers to IP addresses; can be installed alongside Active Directory.
Hyper-V
- Enables the creation and management of virtual machines on Windows Server, simulating computer hardware for OS installation.
Remote Access
- Configures servers as VPNs; Direct Access allows secure user connections over the Internet.
Windows Deployment Services (WDS)
- Facilitates network installation and configuration for Windows operating systems, ideal for enterprise environments.
New and Enhanced Features in Windows Server 2012/R2
- Includes Server Core, Minimal Server Interface, PowerShell, Storage Spaces, Resilient File System (ReFS), IP Address Management (IPAM), and Dynamic Access Control.
PowerShell
- An interactive command-line scripting environment offering extensive commands (cmdlets) for management tasks, crucial for Active Directory.
IP Address Management (IPAM)
- Tools to monitor and manage DHCP and DNS servers, including domain controller discovery and auditing IP address usage.
Summary
- The server's identity is closely tied to the software it runs, indicating its core function within the hardware environment.
