ed 5769 summer day 4

Day 4 was the Server 2008 services setup.
Our Windows server 2008 machine was running on the network. It had retained the IP address 192.168.10.50 and today it was connected to the Internet. We used the telnet service, another item needed to be activated on my laptop. This was done by going to Start/Control Panel/programs and features/r side turn on windows features/find telnet and click on it. Once that step was done we were able to log into the alcatel switch.
We were able to confirm the 4 routes for our network by using telnet command show ip route

The first activity was to do the Updates on the server. This took about 30 min and required a restart.
There were 3 updates for drivers on this machine from the device manager. After and searching, the solution was to search the Dell website for the Optiplex 755 machine. Our instructor threw us a bone in the form of” Server 2008 was built on Vista” so if we searched for these drivers, we would be fine. Server 2008 R2 is built on win 7 architecture so we would need different drivers if we would have used server 2008 R2. The 3 drivers for the chipset were what were needed to solve the device manager conflicts: PCI Serial Port, PCI Simple Communications Controller and the SM Bus Controller




The second activity was to set up Server2008 services=roles on the server- File sharing, DNS and DHCP
DNS
Start—>Administrative tools—>Server Manager
Installing the DNS is as simple as checking the DNS Services button.

File sharing 2nd service
My Computer interface. On the c:\ drive we created a new folder and named it shared.
Once this folder was created we right clicked on it and clicked on the Share tab.
Once on this tab, we clicked the Advanced button and then checked off the Full Rights options.
By checking off this option, we have given rights to all network users to read and write to this folder.
The hazard is that they may also delete the contents in this folder. That is a risk we need to take.


DHCP. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol services was the 3 rd service

We installed the DHCP services on the server 2008 unit by going
Start—>Administrative tools—>Server Manager
Once server manager opens click on Roles from left pane now you need to click on Add Roles from right pane
Here you need to select the DHCP Server and click next
DHCP Server introduction details click next
We used the IPV4 DNS setting
Our parent domain was network5769.local
Our preferred dns was 142.66.33.100
Our DHCP scope staring address is 192.168.10.101
Our DHCP ending address is 192.168.10.253
The subnet is255.255.255.0
The default gateway is 192.168.10.254
We followed the prompts and got the confirmation.
http://www.windowsreference.com/windows-server-2008/how-to-setup-dhcp-server-in-windows-server-2008-step-by-step-guide/ is a good reference with screen shots of this process.
To verify the DHCP from the server we booted the one of the Dell workstations with the Knoppix DVD. This is Linux so once again there was something completely new to me. The machines had to be booted from CD via F12 prompt upon startup. Once it was started up, it picked up an ip address of 192.168.10.101, confirmed by using the ifconfig prompt, so the DHCP was working from the server.
It took a couple tries but the Linux machines were able to log onto the internet by typing in a url. This was done by checking the DNS addresses on the server ,adding 192.168.10.254, the Alcatel switch as the first DNS address, in addition to the 142.66.33.100 and 142.66.33.10. service was working on the We are also able to log into the files on the server as well as other servers in the schools and log on, as we have the correct third octet 192.168.XX.50 for other groups.
