Presentation: 90 Minutes Lab: 75 Minutes iv Module 3: Configuring File and Print Servers Module Strategy Use the following strategy to present this module:  Configuring a File Server This topic introduces the Configuring Your Server page on the Administrative Tools menu. Explain to students that when they click File Server in the left pane of this page, the right pane will provide information about the tasks that are necessary for configuring a file server. It also provides hyperlinks to the Shared Folder wizard, Computer Management, and information about shared folders in Windows 2000 Help. This page consolidates all of the necessary tools for configuring a file server, and eliminates the need to locate and open each tool individually.  Configuring Disks This topic provides information on configuring disks to manage storage on a file server. Describe the storage types that are available in Windows 2000, and explain how to configure basic and dynamic disks. Explain the procedures for upgrading basic disks to dynamic disks, and how to revert back to a basic disk. Describe volume mount points and the procedure for mounting a local drive, partition, or volume at any empty folder on a local partition or volume formatted with the NTFS file system. Finally, explain how to configure disk quotas to monitor and limit disk space on a per-user, per-volume basis.  Configuring Shared Resources This topic describes the necessary tasks for configuring shared resources. Explain how to create shared folders, assign permissions, and control the way that files and subfolders inherit permissions. Next, explain how to configure shared folders for offline use, and how to increase security by using Encrypting File System (EFS). Finally, explain how to configure Distributed file system (Dfs) to organize shared folders.  Installing and Configuring a Print Server This topic provides information about installing and sharing printers to allow multiple users to use the same print device. Explain the procedure for installing a printer by using the Add Printer wizard, and then explain the procedure for sharing printers across a network. It is important that students understand that clients on a variety of computers and operating systems can send print jobs to printers that are attached locally to a print server running Windows 2000. Next, explain the Internet printing feature in Windows 2000. Describe the benefits and requirements of Web-based printing, and then explain the procedure for installing and connecting to printers using a Web browser. Module 3: Configuring File and Print Servers v Customization Information This section identifies the lab setup requirements for a module and the configuration changes that occur on student computers during the labs. This information is provided to assist you in replicating or customizing Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) courseware. The labs in this module are also dependent on the classroom configuration that is specified in the Customization Information section at the end of the Classroom Setup Guide for course 1594B, Installing and Configuring Microsoft Windows 2000 File, Print, and Web Servers. Lab Setup The labs in this module require that you perform the procedure specified in the Classroom Setup Guide before performing the lab. Lab Results Performing the labs in this module introduces the following configuration changes:  The hard disk is configured for dynamic storage.  The CD-ROM drive is mounted at the folder C:\Cdrom and the drive letter assigned to the CD-ROM drive is removed.  A simple volume of 200 megabytes (MB) is created and mounted at a folder C:\Users. A new user quota limit of 50 MB is assigned to this volume.  The folder C:\Products is shared with a share name of Products.  A new folder, named Northwind, is created in the root directory of drive C. This folder is then shared as a new stand-alone Dfs root.  Two printers, a Canon BJC-800 and an Epson EPL-8000, are installed with drivers for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. The printers are shared as CanonBJC800 and EpsonEPL8000.  A simple volume of 400 MB is created and mounted at a folder C:\Spool.  The spool directory for this server is set to C:\Spool. Importan t Module 3: Configuring File and Print Servers 1 Overview  Configuring a File Server  Configuring Disks  Configuring Shared Resources  Installing and Configuring a Print Server Enhancements to file services in Microsoft® Windows® 2000 improve file sharing—making Windows 2000 ideal for use on a file server. Windows 2000 makes it easier to manage and store information across a network, and makes it easier for users to locate that information. A file server running Windows 2000 provides transparent access to network resources, access to resources on different network platforms, and easier management of large numbers of shared resources. Enhancements to print services in Windows 2000 make it easier to install and configure printers. This also makes Windows 2000 ideal for use on a print server. A print server running Windows 2000 provides an easy-to-use interface for locating printers on a network, easier management of printers on a network, and access to printers and print queue status by using a Web browser. At the end of this module, you will be able to:  Configure a file server.  Configure disks.  Configure shared resources.  Install and configure a print server. Slide Objective To provide an overview of the module topics and objectives. Lead-in In this module, you will learn about the process for configuring Windows 2000 on a file or print server in a Windows NT 4.0 network. 2 Module 3: Configuring File and Print Servers Configuring a File Server Windows 2000 Configure Your Server Home Register Now Active Directory File Server Print Server Web/Media Server Networking Application Server Advanced File Server Use the Shared Folder wizard to create shared folders. Computers running Windows, Novell NetWare, or Apple Macintosh operating systems can gain access to files placed in a shared folder. Start the Shared Folder wizard. 1. Open Computer Management. 2. In the console tree, expand System tools, expand Shared Folders, and click Shares. Learn more about shared folders. To manage shared folders The Windows 2000 Setup program automatically installs disk and file management features, but you must manually configure the file server disks and shared resources to make the appropriate data available to users on the network. The Configure Your Server page contains links to other tools in Windows 2000. It contains information on the tasks that are necessary for configuring a file server, and provides a single interface from which to create and manage shared folders. After you install Windows 2000 and log on to the computer as an administrator, the Configure Your Server page opens. This page allows you to register your copy of Windows 2000, and makes it easier to perform further configuration tasks on a file server. When you configure a file server, you can use the Configure Your Server page to gain access to the Shared Folder wizard to create shared folders, and to open Computer Management to manage shared folders. The Configure Your Server page also provides a link to information in Windows 2000 Help about shared folders. You can open the Configure Your Server page at any time by clicking Start, pointing to Programs, pointing to Administrative Tools, and then clicking Configure Your Server. Slide Objective To introduce the file server interface of the Configure Your Server page. Lead-in The Configure Your Server page consolidates and provides access to the tools and information that are necessary for configuring a file server. Delivery Tip Demonstrate the procedure for opening the Configure Your Server page, and describe the information and links that it contains for configuring a file server. Module 3: Configuring File and Print Servers 3    Configuring Disks  Configuring Basic Disks  Configuring Dynamic Disks  Mounting Volumes  Configuring Disk Quotas Windows 2000 offers two disk storage types: basic disks, which use the same partitions as earlier versions of Windows and MS-DOS ®, and dynamic disks, which use volumes that provide more efficient use of space than multiple partitions on hard disks. Disks that have been in use to date are now referred to as basic disks to distinguish them from dynamic disks, which have been introduced with Windows 2000. The storage type of a hard disk determines how you can use the space on the hard disk. A hard disk must be either basic or dynamic. You cannot combine the storage types on one disk. You can, however, combine the different types of disk storage on a computer with multiple disks. Removable storage devices contain primary partitions only. You cannot create extended partitions or dynamic volumes on removable storage devices. You cannot mark a primary partition on a removable storage device as active. Windows 2000 also provides the ability to create volume mount points, which allow you to mount a local drive, partition, or volume at any empty folder on a local partition or volume that is formatted with the NTFS file system. In addition, you can configure disk quotas to specify the amount of disk space that a user is allowed to use. Slide Objective To introduce the concepts and configuration tasks involved in configuring disks. Lead-in Windows 2000 includes basic disks and dynamic disks. The disk type determines how the space on a hard disk is used. Note 4 Module 3: Configuring File and Print Servers Configuring Basic Disks Extended Partition with Logical Drives H: H: G: G: F: F: E: E: D: D: C: C: F: F: E: E: D: D: C: C: -or- - - or or - - Primary Partitions A Basic Disk Can Contain Up To :  Four primary partitions, or  Three primary partitions and one extended partition A basic disk contains primary partitions and extended partitions with logical drives. New disks that you add to a computer running Windows 2000 first appear as basic disks. Basic disks in Windows 2000 are compatible with disk partitions and sets in Microsoft Windows NT ® version 4.0. A basic disk can contain up to four primary partitions, or up to three primary partitions and one extended partition. In Windows 2000, you can create, delete, and format basic partitions without having to restart your computer to make the changes effective. When you create partitions, you should leave a minimum of 1 megabyte (MB) of unallocated space on the disk in case you decide to convert the basic disk to a dynamic disk. The conversion process uses 1 MB of space in which it stores a database that tracks the configuration of all dynamic disks in the computer. When you create a partition by using Windows 2000, 1 MB of space is automatically reserved. However, when you create a partition by using any other operating system, you need to ensure that 1 MB of free space remains unallocated. Windows 2000 recognizes legacy volumes that exceed a single partition on multiple disks. Legacy volumes are volumes that were created by using Windows NT 4.0 or earlier. However, you cannot create new volume sets, stripe sets, mirror sets, or stripe sets with parity on basic disks. In addition, you cannot create and delete volumes, extend simple or spanned volumes, repair mirrored or redundant array of independent disks (RAID)-5 volumes, or reactivate a missing or offline disk on basic disks. Slide Objective To illustrate the partitions on a basic disk. Lead-in Basic disks contain primary partitions and extended partitions with logical drives, and are compatible with disk partitions and sets in Windows NT 4.0.
