Step-by-Step Guide to a Common Infrastructure for Windows Server 2003 Deploymen

Step-by-Step Guide to a Common Infrastructure for Windows Server 2003 Deployment Part 1: Installing Windows Server 2003 as a Domain Controller Published: September 17, 2004 This document is the first in a series of step by step guides explaining how to build a common network infrastructure for deployment of the Microsoft WindowsServer 2003 operating system. Subsequent guides build upon this base infrastructure by detailing the configuration of common customer use scenarios. This guide begins with the installation of the Windows Server 2003 operating system and Active Directory. On This Page Introduction Overview Server Installation Appendix A: Active Directory Populace Additional Resources Introduction Step-by-Step Guides The Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Deployment step-by-step guides provide hands-on experience for many common operating system configurations. The guides begin by establishing a common network infrastructure through the installation of Windows Server 2003, the configuration of Active Directory, the installation of a Windows XP Professional workstation, and finally the addition of this workstation to a domain. Subsequent step-by-step guides assume that you have this common network infrastructure in place. If you do not wish to follow this common network infrastructure, you will need to make appropriate modifications while using these guides. The common network infrastructure requires the completion of the following guides. • Part I: Installing Windows Server 2003 as a Domain Controller • Part II: Installing a Windows XP Professional Workstation and Connecting it to a Domain Once the common network infrastructure is configured, any of the additional step-by-step guides may be employed. Note that some step-by-step guides may have additional prerequisites above and beyond the common network infrastructure requirements. Any additional requirements will be noted in the specific step-by-step guide. Microsoft Virtual PC The Windows Server 2003 Deployment step-by-step guides may be implemented within a physical lab environment or through virtualization technologies like Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 or Virtual Server 2005. Virtual machine technology enables customers to run multiple operating systems concurrently on a single physical server. Virtual PC 2004 and Virtual Server 2005 are designed to increase operational efficiency in software test and development, legacy application migration, and server consolidation scenarios. The Windows Server 2003 Deployment step-by-step guides assume that all configurations will occur within a physical lab environment although most configurations can be applied to a virtual environment without modification. Applying the concepts provided in these step-by-step guides to a virtual environment based is beyond the scope of this document. Important Notes The example companies, organizations, products, domain names, e-mail addresses, logos, people, places, and events depicted herein are fictitious. No association with any real company, organization, product, domain name, email address, logo, person, places, or events is intended or should be inferred. This common infrastructure is designed for use on a private network. The fictitious company name and Domain Name System (DNS) name used in the common infrastructure are not registered for use on the Internet. You should not use this name on a public network or Internet. The Active Directory service structure for this common infrastructure is designed to show how Windows Server 2003 Change and Configuration Management works and functions with Active Directory. It was not designed as a model for configuring Active Directory for any organization. Top of page Overview This guide explains how to build a common network infrastructure beginning with the installation and configuration of the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system as a domain controller. This common infrastructure allows you to learn about and evaluate Windows Server 2003. As you implement this guide, think about how you will use them in your organization. This guide, which is the first in a two-part series, shows how to install a server as a domain controller and populate a sample Active Directory service structure. Part two describes steps to install a Windows XP Professional client and connect that client to the domain controller. First, complete the procedures in this guide, then use "Part II: Installing a Windows XP Professional Workstation and Connecting It to a Domain" to complete your common network infrastructure. Prerequisites • None Guide Requirements These are the hardware requirements for the common infrastructure. Item Quantity Comments Server(s) 1 Capable of running Windows Server 2003 Workstation(s) As Needed Capable of running Windows XP Professional Network Hub(s) As Needed A private network is recommended Remote Access Hardware As Needed For testing slow-link and remote connections Network Interface Cards As Needed 100 MB Card UPS Optional To protect the servers Printer Optional To print configuration information and other tests Notes: • An Intel processor–based server running Windows Server 2003 must have at least 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM. Microsoft also recommends that the server have several gigabytes of disk storage. In addition, servers should be equipped with high-speed network interface cards. • Use a sufficient number of workstations to simulate a variety of workstation environments, including your organization’s typical desktop, roaming user, mobile user, and any other configurations that may be appropriate. These computers must be capable of running Windows XP Professional. Microsoft recommends a minimum of 64 MB of RAM for Intel processor–based workstations. • When creating the physical infrastructure, a private network is recommended; therefore, you need sufficient network hubs and other networking hardware to connect all of the workstations and servers to a single network. • The most current information about hardware requirements and compatibility for servers is available at the Windows Server 2003 Product Compatibility Web site. Additional Server Parameters If you add additional servers to the common infrastructure, use the following server naming convention. Parameter Value Computer Name(s) HQ-CON-SRV-01 HQ-CON-SRV-nn Server Configuration Overview Figure 1 shows the basic server configuration. Figure 1. The Server Configuration Server Disk Configuration To use a single server for the infrastructure in this guide, you will need a server with either two disk drives or a single disk drive with two partitions. Note: Subsequent step-by-step guides in this series may require additional servers or other equipment; those additions are addressed in the specific guide. The first disk or partition holds Windows Server 2003 and other files for the common infrastructure, such as the Windows Installer packages and application source files. The second disk or partition is reserved for Active Directory log files and procedures required by other step-by-step guides. Each disk or partition must hold several gigabytes of information, and each disk or partition must be formatted for the NT file system (NTFS). The steps for creating and formatting partitions are contained in this guide. Top of page Server Installation To begin the installation procedure, boot directly from the Windows Server 2003 CD. Your CD-ROM must support bootable CDs. Note: When you configure partitions and format drives, all data on the server hard drive is destroyed. Beginning the Installation Setup creates the disk partitions on the computer running Windows Server 2003, formats the drive, and then copies installation files from the CD to the server. Note: These instructions assume that you are installing Windows Server 2003 on a computer that is not already running Windows. If you are upgrading from an older version of Windows, some of the installation steps may differ. To begin the installation 1. Insert the Windows Server 2003 CD in the CD-ROM drive. 2. Restart the computer. If prompted, press any key to boot from the CD. The Windows Server 2003 installation begins. 3. On the Welcome to Setup screen, press Enter. 4. Review and, if acceptable, agree to the license agreement by pressing F8. Note: If you had a previous version of Windows Server 2003 installed on this server, you might get a message asking if you want to repair the drive. Press Esc to continue and not repair the drive. 5. Follow the instructions to delete all existing disk partitions. The exact steps will differ based on the number and type of partitions already on the computer. Continue to delete partitions until all disk space is labeled as Unpartitioned space. 6. When all disk space is labeled as Unpartitioned space, press C to create a partition in the unpartitioned space on the first disk drive (as applicable). 7. If your server has a single disk drive, split the available disk space in half to create two equal- sized partitions. Delete the total space default value. Type the value of half your total disk space at the Create partition of size (in MB) prompt, and the press Enter. (If your server has two disk drives, type the total size of the first drive at this prompt.) 8. After the New <Raw> partition is created, press Enter. 9. Select Format the partition using the NTFS file system <Quick>, and then press Enter. Windows Server 2003 Setup formats the partition and then copies the files from the Windows Server 2003 Server CD to the hard drive. The computer restarts and the Windows Server 2003 Installation Program continues. Completing the Installation To continue the installation with the Windows Server 2003 Setup Wizard 1. The Windows Server 2003 Setup Wizard detects and installs devices. This can take several minutes, and during the process your screen may flicker. uploads/Ingenierie_Lourd/ 2003-installation-guide.pdf
