    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.
