The topic is all about configuring Computer Server

1. Configure Server Function Configure user access level based on NOS features (Week 3) Jenifer B. Pequit CSS Teacher

2. Server – It is a physical computer that provide services to all client computers connected to it, allowing them (client computer) to access available information or resources .

3. TYPICAL TYPES OF SERVER Web Servers The internet is based on web servers that respond to requests from clients such as web browsers. Application Server A server that provides services to applications such as a mobile app. Communications Server Servers that provide clients with network connectivity and other communications such as voice.. Name Servers Servers that look up addresses such as mapping a domain name to an IP. API server that implements functionality for other software by offering an API.

4. TYPICAL TYPES OF SERVER Database Server Provides access to a database. Directory Service Servers that look up resources on a network such as users, groups and devices. Acts as infrastructure that is essential to network security such as authenticating users. File Server Provides access to files. Game Server Servers that implement games or services for a game such as social elements of gameplay Media Server Delivers media such as streaming video or audio.

5. TYPICAL TYPES OF SERVER Proxy Server Acts as an intermediary between clients and servers to implement functions such as security, monitoring or anonymization. System Services A system is software that performs automation, calculations and other functions that aren’t directly used by people. They are often implemented with a service that run on servers such as microservices .

6. After installing the operating system, there are a few things you should (must) do before continuing: You must make sure the computer is connected to the Internet If this is the first computer, you must make it a domain controller (this is not a requirement if the computer will not be a domain controller; if you don't (yet) know what a domain controller is, don't worry about that now)

7. How to set a Server Name In the Initial Configuration Tasks window, click Provide Computer Name and Domain In the Computer Name property page, click Change... Accept or change the name of the server Click OK A dialog box will ask you to restart your computer. Click OK Click Close Click Restart Now

8. Network Discovery start Windows Explorer and click Network (you can click the Start button and click the Network option). A message should appear under the toolbar stating "Network discovery is turned off...": Click that message and click "Turn on network discovery and file sharing You should receive a message box presenting you two options. Click "Yes, turn on network discovery..."

9. Connecting the server to the Internet Normally, when you have finished installing the server, if everything went alright and the computer is connected to a router, you should be connected to the Internet.

10. Windows Updates Click Start -> All Programs -> Windows Update A window will display, asking you to enable automatic updates. Click Turn On Automatic Updates. You may be asked to install new updates. Do.

11. Assigning an IP Address to the Server A computer has two main ways of getting an IP address: A server, called a DHCP server can automatically assign (provide) an IP address to each computer You can manually assign an IP address to each computer. Of course, you need to know a little bit about something named TCP/IP, which means you would need to know how to create and assign IP addresses

12. To assign an IP address to a Server (that runs Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2): In the Initial Configuration Tasks, click Configure Networking On the Taskbar, click Start and click Network. In the left frame, right-click Network and click Properties. Click Local Area Connection. In the Local Area Connection status dialog box, click Properties.

13. To assign an IP address to the Server Click Start Right-click Network and click Properties Click Local Area Connection Click Details. Make note (on a piece of paper) of the address on the right side of IPv4 Address .

14. To assign an IP address to the Server (cont.) Click Close In the Local Area Connection Status dialog box, click Properties In the checked list box, click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Click Properties Click Use the Following IP Address Type the IP address you want the server to use. For our example, and based on the above dialog box, we type 192.168.001.001 Press Tab Type the subnet mask

15. To assign an IP address to the Server (cont.) Type the default gateway address Provide the Preferred DNS server address (we use 127.0.0.1 for our example) Click Advanced to check the values that were put in the IP Settings and DNS property pages Click OK Click Close

18. Always remember SERVERS: contain more powerful processors than a desktop computer. They support multiple processors, multiple cores and multiple threads. support advanced RAM technologies like DDR4 SDRAM that is scalable, gives a better performance and more secure. have a higher storage capacity as multiple disks can be inserted into them. are manufactured and optimized for 24 x 7 operation, while desktops are not built to support multiple user applications and multiple user access. have multiple Network Interface Cards and support technologies like Adapter teaming and link aggregation. maintained by a system administrator from a central location (like a data center). So, it is easier to apply security policies to the server and back-up all critical data
