 HOW TO USE THIS MODULE

Welcome to the Module “Setting-up Computer Server”. This module contains

training materials and activities for you to complete.

The unit of competency “Set-up Computer Server” contains knowledge, skills and
attitudes required for a Computer Systems Servicing NC II course.

You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to complete

each of the learning outcomes of the module. In each learning outcome there are
Information Sheets, Operation Sheets, and Job Sheets. Follow these activities on your
own and answer the Self-Check at the end of each learning activity.

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask your teacher for assistance.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

You may already have some of the knowledge and skills covered in this module
because you have:
o been working for some time
o Already have completed training in this area.

If you can demonstrate to your teacher that you are competent in a particular skill or
skills, talk to him/her about having them formally recognized so you don’t have to do the
same training again. If you have a qualification or Certificate of Competency from previous
trainings show it to your teacher. If the skills you acquired are still current and relevant to this
module, they may become part of the evidence you can present for RPL. If you are not sure
about the currency of your skills, discuss it with your teacher.

After completing this module ask your teacher to assess your competency. Result of
your assessment will be recorded in your competency profile. All the learning activities are
designed for you to complete at your own pace.

Inside this module you will find the activities for you to complete followed by relevant
information sheets for each learning outcome. Each learning outcome may have more than
one learning activity.

 INFORMATION SHEET 1.1

NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM

The term network operating system is used to refer to two rather different concepts:

 A specialized operating system for a network device such as a router, switch

or firewall.

 An operating system oriented to computer networking, to allow shared file and

printer access among multiple computers in a network, to enable the sharing
of data, users, groups, security, applications, and other networking functions.
Typically over a local area network (LAN), or private network. This sense is
now largely historical, as common operating systems generally now have
such features included.

TYPES OF NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM

1. Peer-to-peer network

In a peer-to-peer network operating

system users are allowed to share
resources and files located on their
computers and access shared
resources from others. This system
is not based with having a file server
or centralized management source.
A peer-to-peer network sets all
connected computers equal; they all
share the same abilities to use
resources available on the network.

The advantages include:

 Ease of setup
 Less hardware needed, no server need be acquired
The disadvantages include:

 No central location for storage

 Less security than the client–server model

2. Client/Server Network
Network operating systems can be based on a client–server model (architecture) in
which a server enables multiple clients to share resources. Client-server network
operating systems allow networks to centralize functions and applications in one or
more dedicated file servers. The server is the center of the system, allowing access
to resources and instituting security.

The advantages include:

 Centralized servers are more stable.

 Security is provided through the server.
 New technology and hardware can be easily integrated into the system.
 Hardware and the operating system can be specialized, with a focus on
performance.
 Servers are able to be accessed remotely from different locations and types of
systems.
The disadvantages include:

 Buying and running a server raises costs.

 Dependence on a central location for operation.
 Requires regular maintenance and updates.

Managing Domain User Accounts

The next part is dedicated to helping you plan, manage, and administer user
accounts in a secure and efficient manner. Microsoft Windows operating systems
have come a long way since the early days of Windows Server and you have many
options for managing users in Windows Server.

Types of Users

It is a good idea to have a solid grasp of fundamental concepts that underpin

the managing of users. In the first part of the tutorial, describe the types of users
Microsoft Windows Server defines.

User: In Windows Server 2008, you can have local user accounts or domain
user accounts. On a domain controller, local users and groups are disabled. In
Active Directory, the domain user account contains user name, password, the
groups of which the user is a member, and other descriptive information, such as
address and phone numbers, as well as many other user descriptions and attributes,
such as security and remote control configurations.

Network Testing Tools

What is network testing?

Network testing is a process that is used to quantitatively or qualitatively measure

the performance of an IT infrastructure. It is a primitive level of fault identification that
does not require tons of historical data.

What are network testing tools?

Network testing tools are a collection of tools that aid in measuring the performance
of various aspects of a network. These tools range from ping, SNMP ping, traceroute
to WMI query tool and more. Network testing tools help network admins make quick
and informed decisions.

Why are network testing tools important?

The elemental purpose of a network is to share resources efficiently. It is crucial to

establish periodic network testing with reliable network testing tools to:

1. Understand the network's state

2. Ensure the configuration changes work as expected
3. Detect crippling network attacks
4. Provide a top-notch end-user experience

Dynamic Host Connection Protocol (DHCP)

What is DHCP?

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client/server protocol that

automatically provides an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address and other
related configuration information such as the subnet mask and default gateway.

Why use DHCP?

Every device on a TCP/IP-based network must have a unique unicast IP address to

access the network and its resources. Without DHCP, IP addresses for new
computers or computers that are moved from one subnet to another must be
configured manually; IP addresses for computers that are removed from the network
must be manually reclaimed.

With DHCP, this entire process is automated and managed centrally. The DHCP
server maintains a pool of IP addresses and leases an address to any DHCP-
enabled client when it starts up on the network. Because the IP addresses are
dynamic (leased) rather than static (permanently assigned), addresses no longer in
use are automatically returned to the pool for reallocation.

The network administrator establishes DHCP servers that maintain TCP/IP

configuration information and provide address configuration to DHCP-enabled clients
in the form of a lease offer. The DHCP server stores the configuration information in
a database that includes:

 Valid TCP/IP configuration parameters for all clients on the network.

 Valid IP addresses, maintained in a pool for assignment to clients, as well as

excluded addresses.

 Reserved IP addresses associated with particular DHCP clients. This allows

consistent assignment of a single IP address to a single DHCP client.

 The lease duration, or the length of time for which the IP address can be used
before a lease renewal is required.

Simple Step: Configure Folder Redirection in
Window Server 2012 R2
Source: https://mizitechinfo.wordpress.com

As a Server Admin, you can use GPOs to deploy scripts to users and computers.

You also can redirect folders that are included in the user’s profile to a File Server.
These features enable you to configure the users’ desktop settings more easily and,
where desirable, to create a standardized desktop environment that meets
your organization’s needs.

So, what is Folder Redirection?

You can use the Folder Redirection to manage data effectively and, if you choose,
to back up data.

By redirecting folders, you can ensure user access to data regardless of

the computers from which a user logs in.

So let’s go through a simple step on how to configure Folder Redirection…

1 – 1st, make sure that you have share folder for this step, for this demo, i had my
shared folder created previously (MCT Docs – OSI Branch 01)…
