Definition of Network Operating System
 is the software that runs on a server and enables the server to manage
data, users, groups, security, applications, and other networking
functions.
 It designed to allow shared file and printer access among multiple
computers in a network, typically a local area network (LAN), a private
network or to other networks.
 It supports multiple user accounts at the same time and enables
concurrent access to shared resources by multiple clients.
 Definition of Server

 is large system with higher processing speed , memory and hard disk
capacity whose role in a network is to provide services and resources to
users over a local network or the Internet.

 In an environment with more than 10 users.

 Server-based networks have become the standard models for networking
 Server-based networks divide processing tasks between clients and
servers
 Advantage of Server

 STEPS TO INSTALLING WINDOWS SERVER 2003

1. To begin the installation procedure, boot directly from the Windows Server 2003
CD. Your CD-ROM must support bootable CDs. (When you configure partitions and
format drives, all data on the server hard drive/Disk will be destroyed).

2. Make sure that you configured your Server BIOS to make the first Boot Drive is the
CD/DVD ROM Drive, to be able to boot from the CD/DVD Drive.

3. During the boot, if you were prompted to “Press Any Key to boot from CD” then
press any key, you can press the Enter Key or the Space Bar Key for simplicity, then
the Windows Installation Process begins.
4. On the Welcome to Setup screen, press Enter
5. Review the License agreement in the next screen and if you agree on all the terms and
conditions of this agreement, press F8
6. The next screen shows the existing disks and partitioned space on your server. Here I used a server with Mirrored 2
x 146 GB Disks, so the available unpartitioned space is 130 GB where I will create two partitions only, first partition
which will have 20 GB space as C Partition and second partition which will have the remaining space as E Drive. To
create the first partition from the above screen, Press C.
 7. In the Size Partition specify the size of the new partition, here in our example I will
create a partition of 20 GB or 20000 MB and will be used as C Drive, as appears on the
next screen. Click Enter to create the new partition.
8. You will be returned to the previous screen to
see the new created partition, and how much
is remaining for un-partitioned space available
for the new partitions.

9. Select the un-partitioned space available to

create a new partition (E Drive) with the
remaining space available.
 10. Your Disks partitions will appear like this: and
Choose C Drive to install Windows Server 2003 on, click Enter.
11. The next screen will give you options on how you want to format Operating System
Partition (C Drive). Choose first option which will format C Drive as NTFS. Click on Enter
when you finish the selection.
12. The Setup will start formatting the Partition based on your selection,
which is Quick NTFS Format.
 13. After formatting C Drive, Windows Setup will start copying the
setup files to the Windows Installation Folder created locally on the
formatted partition (C Drive
14. Now, after Setup Process copies the Windows Installation Files locally to the Windows Installation Folder, the server will restart to
start the Windows Installation and Configuration Process. Please note that the Server will be restarted Two Times to finish the
installation process, this is the first restart, and the second restart will occur after finalizing the configuration of Windows.
15. During restart of your server you will get the following Windows Server 2003 Startup Screen.
16. When the server finishes loading the Windows Setup Files, it will start the
Windows Installation and Configuration Wizard.
17. The First Screen after the Windows Installation Wizard is the Regional and Language Settings .
 18. Since we are using an English Version of Windows, then the default language will be English, if you want to
install additional support language during setup (like Arabic Language Support) click on “Customized”, then from
the tabs choose “Language” tab. Under “supplemental language support” tab click on “Install Files for complex
script and right-to-left Languages (Including Thai)”.
19. When you choose to install additional language, you will be prompted for a space confirmation message,
click Ok on you have available space for this additional files (only 10 MB or more is required).and After you
finish installing the additional language, click on Next from the Regional and Language settings screen.
20. The next screen will be the Personalize Screen, where you provide information about
the Organization that this Windows Server will operate under its network. In this article,
this server will operate under my personal organization which is “Al-Ankar Organization”.
Click on Next when you finish feeding up the required information.
 21. In the next screen you need to provide the Windows Server 2003 Product Key, this key can
be found in the back of the Windows CD Cover or provided by separate Licensing Certificate by
the Media and Licensing Provider. Click on Next when you finish from typing in the Product Key.
22.The Next Screen, In the Licensing Modes dialog box, selects the appropriate licensing
mode for your organization, and then click Next. If you are not sure, just keep the default
and click on Next.
23. In the Computer Name and Administrator Password dialog box, type the new
computer name in the computer name box, and choose a password for the
“Administrator” Local Account, and then click Next.
 24. In the Date and Time Settings dialog box, correct the current date and
time if necessary based on your country or region date and time, and then
click Next.
25. Now, Windows will start configuring the server based on the information
you provided in the previous screens.
26.Now, the Windows Setup will start the networking components installation and configuration on
the server. The first networking configuration screen will be the TCP/IP Configuration of the Server
Network Card. If you know the IP Address that this server will host, then click on custom settings
and type in the IP Configuration (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS,
etc). if you don’t have such information, then keep the default selection which is “Typical Settings”
and click on Next.
 27. The Next Networking Configuration Screen will be “Workgroup or Computer Domain”. Now, if this server is the first Server under your network then you don’t have a domain to join this server to, so keep the default selection
which is “Workgroup” and keep the name of this workgroup as the default suggested name which is “Workgroup” and click on next. If you already configured your TCP/IP Settings or you have already Domain under your Network and
you have a DHCP Server that leases IP’s to your computers, and you want to join this new server under your existing domain, then you can specify your domain by clicking on “Yes, make this computer a member of the following
Domain:” and then specify the domain that you want to join this new server to.
28. Now, Windows will configuration the Networking components based on your
selection on the Networking Configuration screens shown above.
29. The Windows Setup will start completing configuration and installation of Windows on the
Server, and when it will finish, it will restart automatically and takes you to the new installed
Windows Server 2003 Logon Screen to start working and browsing the new Server features.
30. Finally, this the Logon Screen that you will get when you restart the server
after it finishes the installation of your Windows Server 2003 Server.
• 31. Then you can click on “Ctrl-Alt-Del” on
your keyboard, and provide the logon
credential specified during the setup, which
are:
 User: Administrator
 Password: Pass@word1
 Definition of Active Directory
 Active Directory is a database that keeps track of all the user
accounts and passwords in your organization.
 It allows you to store your user accounts and passwords in
one protected location, improving your organization's
security.
 Active Directory is subdivided into one or more domains. A
domain is a security boundary.
 Enables a single administrator to centrally manage resources
 Enables administrators to easily locate information
 Enables administrators to group objects into organizational
units
 Core Components of Active Directory

Domains
Organizational Units (OUs)
Trees
Forests
Domain Controllers
 A Domain is a logical grouping of users, computers, and resources that makes up a security
and administrative boundary.
 It is not a physical entity and doesn’t identify the actual network topology or physical
location of the network, but it provides a way to secure and organize objects.

 Organizational units (OUs) are logical containers that are commonly used to define
departments or locations.
 It is used to organize users, computers and others resources to reflect administrative
divisions; delegate administrative authority and apply rights and permissions to users and
groups.

 A Tree is one or more domains that share a contiguous DNS namespace. Child domains
derive their namespace from parent.
 All trees in a forest must share a common directory schema and global catalog.

 A forest is A collection of one or more domain that share common schema,

configuration and global catalog.

 A domain controller manages information in the Active Directory database and enables
users to log on to the domain, be authenticated for accessing resources in the domain, and
search the directory for information about users and network resources.

 Definition of 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.
 DHCP allows hosts to obtain necessary TCP/IP configuration information
from a DHCP server.
 It is a protocol IP address to the client computer or any device in a
network
 Benefits of DHCP

 Reliable IP address configuration.

 DHCP minimizes configuration errors caused by manual IP
address configuration, such as address conflicts caused by the
assigning the same of an IP address to more than one
computer at the same time.
 Reduced network administration.
 DHCP includes the following features to reduce network
administration:
– Centralized and automated TCP/IP configuration.
– The ability to define TCP/IP configurations from a central location.
– The ability to assign a full range of additional TCP/IP configuration
values by means of DHCP options.
 Definition of IP Address
• An IP address is an identifier for a computer or
device on a TCP/IP network.
• Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages
based on the IP address of the destination.
 A 32-bit address used to identify a node on a network.
 Each node on the network must be assigned a unique IP
address, which is made up of the network ID, plus a unique
host ID.
 This address is typically represented with the decimal value
of each octet separated by a period (for example,
192.168.0.1).
 Methods of Assign IP Address
1. Static (manually assign an IP address):
 static : is assigned by administrator person manually.
 It take several time to assign IP address to all client computer in a
network
 Best used for permanent services like a file server.
 Basically you want to assign static IPs to end devices that you want to have a
permanent IP address, that will remain in the network and is vital that the IPs do
not always change.
 Static is a assigned IP address where you assign the IP for the TCP
2. Dynamic (address given automatically by DHCP server):
 Dynamic: It assigned by using DHCP with out administrator attention
 it is the best way to assign IP address on a short period of time.
 The most obvious advantage is that you don't have to manually assign an address
to each end user device!
 This is best when you have a large volume of users in a network that come and
go. It also allows for easy scalability.
 Dynamic IP address is an addressed that is leased by a DHCP server
