4. MONITORING THE SERVER AND CLIENT COMPUTERS Lesson 1

6. SBS 2011 Essentials Health Monitoring Proactive Health Monitoring for: Servers, both SBS itself and other servers Clients, both PCs and Macs* Working with Alerts Notifications are displayed server and affected clients Alert notifications can be set via email Describe alert condition Provides steps for resolution; Provides repair action when available Health Monitoring is Extensible Third parties can leverage monitoring capabilities for their own applications running in the SBS environment *Health alerts for Macs are a subset of those available for PCs

7. Dashboard Alerts (Server) In the Dashboard, the Alert Viewer displays alerts for the entire SBS network  Alerts can be filtered:  By source (computer)  By severity (critical, warning, info)  Sample alerts include:  Firewall status  Anti-malware status  Software update status  Disk space utilization

8. Launchpad Alerts (Client) From a user’s Launchpad, the Alert Viewer only displays alerts specific to their computer  Alerts can be filtered by severity (critical, warning, info)  Alert notifications can be turned off in Launchpad settings  Proscriptive guidance provided to the user can reduce administrator intervention  Users can ‘ignore’ an alert locally  The alert will also be ‘ignored’ in the Dashboard

9. BACKING UP AND RESTORING THE SERVER Lesson 2

11. Server Backup Add hard drive(s) to Server Backup  Attach new hard drive to server & designate for backup use (not storage)  External drives recommended; internal drives can be used  Using multiple drives allows for offsite rotation, improving data protection Configure Server Backup  Simple wizard quickly establishes backup settings:  Backup destination  Schedule  Items & Drives to protect

12. Server Restore Restore Server Data  Wizard simplifies recovery process  Restore from most recent or previous backups  Recover individual files, folders, or entire drives Server Recovery  Performs “bare metal” restore  Boot from installation DVD and choose repair or create a bootable USB recovery flash drive Server Recovery  Provides for “factory reset”

13. Client Backup  Client backup for PCs is automatically configured when they are connected to the SBS environment  Client backup settings are configured using the Dashboard  Backup time window (default is between 6pm and 9am)  Retention policy  Users can also manually initiate a backup from the Launchpad  Backups allow for restore of files and folders or the entire PC (bare metal restore)

14. Client Restore Restore Files, Folders, or Drives  Administrator launches Dashboard from client computer  Select items for restore from a backup set Full System Restore  Boot client computer from Recovery media  Select computer name and backup set

15. MANAGING SERVER STORAGE Lesson 3

17. Storage Storage is based on Windows Server 2008 R2 Storage System Inherited Storage Features:  Multi-Drive support  Inbuilt Software Raid Support  Supports Hardware RAID SBS Essentials Storage Features:  Move Folder Wizard  Previous Versions  Restore Protected Folders

18. Expanding Server Storage  Alert is shown after new unformatted Hard Drive is added (Formatted drives will automatically show as available drives)  Formatting can be started via a link in the alert  Can be used for RAID drives (either software or hardware)  For drives of 2TB, a new partition will be created* *Max partition size is 2TB

19. Adding Server Backup Drives SBS server backup uses Windows Server Backup  Hard drives are used as backup destinations  Tapes and tape drives are not supported  Assign drives for use with backup on the Server Folders and Hard Drives page in the Dashboard  Use multiple external hard drives to enable offsite rotation

20. CREATING SERVER SHARED FOLDERS Lesson 4

22. Creating Shared Folders  Server Folders and Hard Drives page in the Dashboard, Server Folders sub-tab  In Server Folder Tasks, Add a folder  Enter folder name  Determine the drive destination  Assign user permissions  Include in server backup

23. Shared Folder Properties The Dashboard simplifies shared folder management  Rename the folder; update its description  Access user access permissions  Enable/disable Shadow Copies

24. Moving Shared Folders Shared folders can be moved to new hard drives  Shared Folder moved via “Move Folder Wizard”  Ensures all properties and data are moved correctly  Select the folder to move in the folder tab  Click on “move folder” and follow the wizard.  Choose Destination Drive  Ensure you add the new folder to backup when completed
