All server roles and features are supported

What are the advantages of installing Windows Server in Server Core?

Less resource intensive - Only essential components and services are installed - Less memory, diskspace & processor time.

Less downtime due to fewer patch and restarts.

Reduced attack surface due to lesser software installed.

Can be managed locally using sconfig.cmd and PowerShell commands

What are the advantages of installing Windows Server in Nano Server?

Requires fewer updates and restarts

Optimised for cloud and virtualized environment

What are the disadvantages of installing Windows Server in Nano Server?

Only support remote administration

Only supports 64-bit applications, tools, and agents.

What happens when a server joins a domain?

A computer account will be created in the AD database

The computer can be managed by the domain administrators.

What is a Server Role?

It adds primary function to server.

It provide service to clients Example of common Server Roles: Domain Controller, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server, Domain Name System (DNS)

Why perform an In-place upgrade?

Existing servers meet hardware requirements

Software on server support in-place upgrade

Need to retain data and security permissions

Need to keep existing roles, features, and settings

What are the conditions to enable upgrading OS to Windows Server 2016?

OS must be Windows Server 2012 R2 or later

upgrade to same or newer editions

Same processor architecture eg 64 bits to 64-bits

Why perform migration?

Existing server do not meet hardware requirement

Able to select product, roles, features and settings to be migrated

Prevent existing issues from being carried forward to the new OS

Easier to troubleshoot installation failures.

Will not affect current server OS.

What are the advantages of using Windows Deployment Services?

Enables network-based installations

Simplifies the deployment process

Supports deployment to computers with no operating system

Provides end-to-end operating system deployment

Can deploy updates, service packs, language packs or device drivers.

What are the requirements for Windows Deployment Services?

AD DS – For authentication and access to the images

DHCP – assigns IP Address to the PC being deployed.

DNS – Provide name resolution

NTFS volume – Store the image

What is the advantage of implementing Server Virtualization?

Establish or expand a private cloud environment.

Establish a centralized desktop strategy.

Increase efficiency in development and test activities.

What are the 2 Virtualization Architectures?

Type I Virtualization (native or bare metal) - Hypervisor layer interacts directly with the computer’s physical hardware. No host operating system required. Each virtual machines have their own OS and accesses hardware through the hypervisor. Parent partition creates and manages the child partitions.

Type II Virtualization (Hosted) - Requires a “host” operating system. A virtual hardware environment is created for each VM with OS installed. The host OS shares access to the computer’s processor with the hypervisor. Does not provide the same performance as separate physical computers.

What are the 2 ways Hyper-V can be implemented?

Windows Server 2016 (server role)

Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2016 (bare-metal)

What types of Virtual Disk is supported in Hyper-V?

Dynamically expanding - The disk starts with a small size and expands on demand. It can grow to the maximum size.

Fixed size - The size of the VHD file is fixed to the size when created. Faster than a dynamically expanding disk. Disk uses up the maximum defined space immediately.

Differencing - Disk is linked to another disk (Parent disk). Disks include only the differences from parent disk. Can save disk space. Suitable for multiple virtual machines with similar OS.

Physical (or pass through disk) - The virtual machine receives direct access to the physical disk for exclusive use. Provides the highest performance of all disk types. The drive is not available for other guest systems.

What are the 3 types of virtual switches supported in hyper-v?

Private : VM to VM on the same host

Internal : VM to VM on the same host, VM to host

External : VM communicates via physical network adapter, Allows communication to external servers

What are the benefits of implementing interoperability?

Ensure open connections to heterogeneous products

Enhance support for industry standards

How do you provide Interoperability?

Network Interoperability - Systems to use established networking protocols and services to communicate eg TCP/IP

Data Interoperability - Use natively supported file systems and file format such as TXT, PDF, and XML. Convert files to supported formats such as PDF, PNG

Applications Interoperability - Use standards such as Corba and XML.

Management Interoperability - Security: Use standard security protocols in areas such as authentication and encryption. Directory service: Provide a consistent way to locate, access, manage, and secure network resources by adopting protocols such as LDAP.

Why implement Active Directory Integration?

Users have single login name and password that can be used across Windows, Linux and UNIX

Can enforce consistent security policies such as password length and complexity across Windows, Linux and UNIX

Unix system implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB)/Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol

Support file and printer sharing between Microsoft Windows, Mac OS , and other Unix OS.

Can integrate Linux/Unix with Windows Server domain

Available on most Unix-based operating systems

What are the benefits of using SAMBA?

A Samba-enabled Unix/Linux machine can masquerade as a Windows server in a Microsoft network

Share folders and printers across file systems

Assist clients with Network Neighborhood browsing

Authenticate clients onto a Windows domain

Provide or assist with WINS name resolution

What is Active Directory?

a customizable information store

a single point from which users can locate resources and services in the network.

Microsoft’s implementation of directory service

What are the benefits of implementing Active Directory?

Centralized control of network resources

Centralized and decentralized resource management

Stores objects securely in a logical structure

What is an Organizational unit?

Used to group objects within a domain

Why do you create OUs?

Assigning GPOs to configure object settings.

Delegate administrative permissions

What is an AD Domain?

Provides a structure for the management of user accounts, computers accounts and groups.

It is an authentication and authorization boundary. Used to limit the scope of access to resources in the domain.

Requires at least one domain controller to hold a copy of the domain’s AD database. The database is synchronized with other Domain Controller through the process known as replication.

What is a Root domain?

Contains 2 unique groups schema admin & Enterprise Admin

What is a Domain Tree?

A domain tree is a hierarchy of domains

Each tree share a contiguous namespace to its parent domain

Eg Asia domain name ends with its parent domain name, mydomain.local

Global catalog to enable searching

A collection of one or more trees

Can grow to include child domains or new domain trees.

A forest Shares: Common schema of the AD database.
