Module Objective The generic networking model Stage at the generic networking model Installation in perspective Pre-installation Network OS installation on the server Post-installation
6
The Generic Networking Model
7
Stage in Generic Networking Model Hardware Installation Network OS Installation
8
Installation in Perspective Pre-Installation NT Server OS Installation Post-Installation Consideration
9
Pre-Installation Selection and installation of network hardware Interface card configuration at the hardware level, if required –IRQ, I/O Address and Memory Address
10
Network OS Installation on the Server Installation of a server on the network Covered in this chapter Post-installation procedures are required for transforming the network into a fully functional network
11
Post-Installation Managing Domains and Users Managing Soft Resources Managing Hard Resources Managing the Server Managing the Client Stations Monitoring and managing the Network Performance

14
Module Objectives Pre-installation considerations Hardware compatibility Launching the installation File systems Role of the server revisited
15
Pre-installation Considerations Hardware compatibility OS launching options File system details Role of the server
16
Hardware Compatibility Processor Motherboards RAM uniformity Display types Server hard disk –SCSI –Enhanced IDE
17
Hardware Compatibility Cont. CD-ROM installation and sharing –SCSI CD-ROM –Non-SCSI CD-ROM Limited support Sound card RAID Storage etc.
18
Obtaining a Compatibility List Network OS literature Web page of Microsoft CompuServe forum Microsoft download
19
Launching the Installation Floppy disks Supported CD-ROMs –SCSI –Some IDE Unsupported CD-ROMs From a network
20
File System Details NTFS –Windows NT file system –Use for new NT installations and upgrades as decided FAT32 –Supported in newer NT and newer Windows 9X FAT –Install to maintain compatibility with DOS and old Windows operating system
21
Role of the Server Primary Domain Controller (PDC) Secondary Domain Controller (SDC) Stand-Alone Server

24
Module Objectives Major protocols supported NetBEUI NWLINK IPX/SPX TCP/IP
25
Major Network Protocols TCP/IP NetBEUI IPX/SPX
26
Other Protocols DLC Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) etc.
27
NetBEUI NetBIOS extended user interface Standard user interface for LANs of 20 to 200 users Non-routeable suitable for a single type of network Purpose: –Communicate with other computers using NetBEUI
28
NWLINK IPX/SPX For linking and inter-operability with NetWare networks NetWare access supported –Directories and files –Printers Essentially a gateway service to NetWare Suitability –Inter-networking with NetWare networks
29
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Purpose –Connecting heterogeneous networks Example –Connecting to the internet

32
Module Objectives Overview of important server installation steps Launching the installation Microsoft definition of installation stages Installation preparation Minimum hardware detection and configuration Preparation for installation
33
Overview of Major Server Installation Steps Launch the installation Provide file system details Name the server and select its role Specify administrator account password Create emergency repair disk Select the OS components to be installed
34
Overview (Continuation) Select and setup the network interface card driver Select the protocols for installation Add and install network services Configure the network adapter with resource values and confirm protocol bindings Specify server and domain names Enter date and time properties Configure the display
35
Installation Package A Note on Installation Launching Load disk drivers etc. Start with Floppy Disks. Continue with the CD-ROM Start installing the NOS.
36
Grouping of the Installation Activities Installation Preparation Actual Network OS Installation Gather information about the computer (server). Install NT networking. Finish setup.
37
Overview of Installation Preparation Minimum hardware configuration –Initial hard disk and CD-ROM configuration Minimum driver installation and configuration –NT drivers for hard disk and CD-ROM Select file type such as, for instance, NTFS From this point onwards the installation proceeds based on the NT CD-ROM
38
Minimum Hardware Detection and Configuration Partition hard disk using FDISK (Optional). Boot from floppy and load drivers for storage devices etc.. Confirm disks displayed and, if necessary, add other disks attached to the server. Next
39
Preparation for Installation Specify this as a new Installation Decide on partition and format, either FAT or NTFS. Specify the directory. Restart the computer. Previous Optionally choose to examine the hard disk for corruption.
