Windows Server 2008 Hardware
Requirements
Microsoft provides minimum and
recommended hardware requirements for
installing its operating systems
Minimum requirements
◦ Let you install and run a system using minimal
resources and services

32-Bit and 64-Bit Processors
 64-bit architectures
◦ Have greater theoretical limit for processing data
◦ Can handle twice the amount of data of a
comparable 32-bit product

Infrastructure Configuration 4
Clients, Servers, and Windows Network
Models
Workgroup
◦ Network of computers that allow each other access
to their files, printers, or Internet connection
By default, all Windows Server 2008
computers are placed in a workgroup named
WORKGROUP
Membership status
◦ Either a single workgroup or a domain

5
Domain Model with Active Directory
Domain
◦ Group of users and computers managed by the same
security database
Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
◦ Technology that runs the domain security database
Domain controllers (DCs)
◦ Servers that hosts domain security database
Domain Name System (DNS)
◦ TCP/IP-based standard for resolving computer names
with IP addresses

A domain is a group of server computers that share
a common user account database.
A user at a client computer can log in to a domain
to access shared resources for any server in the
domain. Each domain must have at least one server
computer designated as the domain controller,
which is ultimately in charge of the domain.
To create a domain, you have to designate a server
computer as the domain controller and configure
user accounts

CONT…
In a workgroup:
All computers are peers; no computer has control
over another computer.
Each computer has a set of user accounts. To log on
to any computer in the workgroup, you must have
an account on that computer.
There are typically no more than twenty computers.
A workgroup is not protected by a password.
All computers must be on the same local network
or subnet.

Cont…
In a domain:
 One or more computers are servers. Network administrators use servers to
control the security and permissions for all computers on the domain.
 Domain users must provide a password or other credentials each time they
access the domain.
 If you have a user account on the domain, you can log on to any computer on
the domain without needing an account on that computer.
 You probably can make only limited changes to a computer's settings because
network administrators often want to ensure consistency among computers.
 There can be thousands of computers in a domain.
 The computers can be on different local networks.

Global Catalog Servers
Every domain controller stores the objects
for the domain in which it is installed.
However, a domain controller designated as
a global catalog server stores the objects
from all domains in the forest.
a global catalog server stores its own full,
writable domain replica (all objects and all
attributes) plus a partial, read-only replica
of every other domain in the forest.

DC is a server computer that responds to
security authentication requests (logging
in, checking permissions, etc.) within a
domain.
one DC serves as the primary domain
controller (PDC). Others, if they exist, are
usually a backup domain controller
(BDC).

Domain Controller Roles
Windows Server 2008, the directory service
is named Active Directory Domain Services.
When you install Windows Server on a
computer, you can choose to configure a
specific server role for that computer. When
you want to create a new forest, a new
domain, or an additional domain controller in
an existing domain, you configure the server
with the role of domain controller by
installing AD DS.

users and computers within an Active
Directory domain
