Chapter-2: Planning Storage Solution
Introduction—
The planning of a server storage solution depends on the following factors—
 The amount of storage space a server needs
 The number of users will be accessing the server
 The sensitivity and importance of data that is to be stored on the server
Storage technology—
 Disk technology(DAS) Direct Attached Storage
 PATA HDD
 SATA HDD
 External Drive Arrays
 SCSI HDD, USB 2.0 HDD
 SAN-Storage Area Network
 NAS-Network attached storage
SAN-Storage Area Network
A Separate network that helps you to attached remote storage devices to server
NAS-Network Area Storage
A data storage technology, which allows you to store the data on a network storage location and
provides data accessibility to multiple clients
Planning storage fault tolerance—
In windows server 2008, there are two ways in which fault tolerance can be achieved:
 Using Disk Mirroring
 Using redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)

Using Disk Mirroring
RAID 1—Minimum 2 hard disk
Disk mirroring is a technique in which data is written to two disks simultaneously. This is because, if one disk fails, the server
can automatically switch to the second disk, without any loss of data.
Using RAID









RAID 0— Minimum 2 hard disk
RAID 0 provides the fastest read and writes performance, but it does not offer fault tolerance. There for this RAID level should
be selected for high performance workstations and not for critical servers.
RAID 5—Minimum 3 hard disk—Provide Fault Tolerance
Ensure that a block and its equivalent information are not stored on the same disk. This feature is very useful as in case of
failure, it can rebuild the missing data when the drive is repaired or replaced.
Exploring Disk Types—
 Basic Disk
 Primary partition
 Extended partition
 Logical partition
Note: A disk using MBR (Master Boot Record) partition style allows you to create four partitions, or three primary
partitions and one extended partition.
Note: A disk using Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) Partition table partition style allows you to create up to 128
primary partitions.

Dynamic Disk
Note: A dynamic disk supports the following five types of volumes:
 Simple
 Spanned
 Mirrored
 Striped
 RAID-5
A spanned volume is a dynamic volume that consists of disk space on more than one physical disk.





A mirrored volume is a hard drive or other form of storage media that stores an exact copy of the
data from another volume. It is used for fault tolerance.





A striped volume is a dynamic volume that stores data in stripes on two or more physical disks (RAID-0).

Spanned volume
Mirrored volume
Striped volume

Chapter-3:Active directory
What is active directory?
 Active directory is a database of your users, groups, Resources and services.
 Active directory is a centralized collection of objects.
What is object in Active Directory?
 Collection of users, groups, resources and services are called Objects.
What is active directory domain service?
 Active directory domain service provides authentication services in your network.
 When any client login in a domain network Active directory domain services check user
name and its password in Active directory and if user name and password match with its
data base then it authenticate and allow him to log in.
 Provides centralized authentication service for Microsoft network.
 Benefits:
o Hierarchical organizational structure
o MultiMate authentication and MultiMate replication. (Ability to access and modify
ADDS from multipoint of administration.)
o Its mean we can modify AD from anywhere as administrator as well as user can also
access our resources from anywhere.
o Ability to create trust relationship with external network running previous version of AD
and even UNIX.
o It avoids single point of failure, because your data is stored on multiple locations.

Schema master Roles
 Schema is the collection of our objects and attributes.
 First domain controller is Responsible for schema updates.
 After updates replicates changes to other domain controller.
 In the absence of schema master role no changes can be made.
Domain naming master
 Responsible for adding and removing domains.
 Responsible for checking domain name is valid or not.
 After updates replicate changes to other domains.
 If unavailable, cannot add or remove domains.
 Domain naming master must also be a global catalog server.
RID Master
 In our active directory each objects eg. User and groups have a unique security identifier (SID).
 And this SID is the combination of Domain SID and unique relative identifier (RID).
 The main role of RID Master is to allocate RIDs to each Domain controller.
 In the absence of RID Master you cannot create new security principals(i.e. User and Groups )
Infrastructure Master Role
 Object in domain referencing object in another domain and it uses GUID,SID and DN
­ E.g. Group in one domain referencing user or group in another domain
 Infrastructure master updates SID and DN in cross-domain references
­ E.g. if referenced object moves
 Multiple-domain, infrastructure master role must not be held by GC Server
­ Not a problem in single-domain forests (because no external references )
 In simple word the main role of infrastructure master role is to help in mapping of user to group
or group to user in multi domain environment.
PDC Emulator
 Acts as NT PDC to NT BDCs
 Password changes replicated preferentially to PDC emulator
­ Authentication failures due to bad password at another DC forwarded to emulator
before failing completely
 Acts as domain master browser(time synchronization )

Hierarchical organizational structure
Q1. What do you mean by hierarchical organizational structure of active directory?
Hierarchical organizational structure includes the active directory forest, domains in the forest,
and organizational units (OUs) in each domain.
Q2. Which server is known as Domain controller?
A server that is running AD DS is called domain controller.
Q3. Which server is called Global catalog server?
First domain controller in a forest must me a global catalog server.
Q4. What is PDC (Primary Domain Controller)?
Domain controller is used to store information about different network objects and also used for
centralized managements.
Q5. What is the ADC (Additional Domain Controller)?
a. ADC is also known as Backup Domain controller and if your primary domain controller
facing some problem or database corrupted from PDC or main domain controller is not
working in this condition we close the services of main domain controller and start the
services of additional domain controller .
b. It is also used to restore the data or information of objects.
c. It also used for load balancing.
Q6. What is the CDC (Child Domain Controller)?
a. If both PDC & ADC are not working properly then we start the child domain for
continuing the work of our company.
b. A Child domain is low permission then Additional domain and Additional domain is less
permission then Main Domain Controller.

What is the RODC (Read Only Domain Controller)?
Advantages of RODC
RODC is a Read Only Domain Controller it a feature introduced in Windows server 2008 to solve the problems related to speed,
Security, and integrity in an enterprise (project/activity).
When the domain controller is placed in the corporate office, the overall network performance is decreased. This is because all
the authentications (verify) from the branch office take place on domain controller in the corporate office, which take time and
may result in network congestion.
If we placed a domain controller in each branch office it may cause following problems:
Security – when the domain controller are placed in the branch office, the verification of the user permissions become fast and
reliable but may cause security problems . As you know a domain controller maintains a copy of all the objects such as
username and password. Suppose that the domain controller in a branch office is stolen or accessed by intruder, you may have
to change the password of all the users in the entire domain.
Integrity – (originality) when the domain controllers are placed in the branch offices, the changes at the branch office domain
controller must be replicated (copy) to the domain controllers in the entire domain. Therefore, any changes or corruption of
data on the branch office domain controllers can affect the integrity (originality) of the entire domain.
Administration-Assigning administrative rights to the users in the branch offices may cause serious problems. Managing the
changes performed by the domain administrators in branch offices is a time consuming and tedious task for the enterprise
administrators.

Child domain controller

What is child domain?
 A child domain, also called as sub domain
 A child domain is a part of the root domain tree
 It shares the same AD schema and configuration information
 A transitive trust relationship always exits between child domain and root domains.

Chapter-6: DHCP Server
Q1. What is DHCP?
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol एक client/server प्रोटोकॉल है जो network host
को automatically IP addresses provide करता है |
DHCP Client Server Model पर based है |
Q2. What are the advantages of DHCP?
Advantages of DHCP Server.
 Centralized IP- address management
 Provide automatically IP-Address for client
 Make administration easy.

Q3. What is DHCP Scope?

DHCP scopes are used to define ranges of addresses from which a DHCP server can assign
IP addresses to clients.
Q4. Give some devices which act as DHCP Server?
 ADSL Router (MODEM)
 Router
 Server PC
Q5. Name different types of DHCP Scope in windows?
 Normal Scope-it is used to assign IP-Address Range for v Class A,B & C
network including subnet masks, exclusions and Reservation,
 Multicast Scope-it is used to assign IP-Address Range for class D networks.
o Multicast scope doesn’t have subnet masks, Reservation or other TCP/IP
Options.
 Super scope- essentially a collection of scoops grouped together such that they
can be enabled or disabled as a single entity.
Q6. What is address pool?
Address range for distribution is called address pool.

Q7. What is address leases?
Address leases define client IP Address, Computer Name, lease expiration date etc.

Q8. What are IP-reservations?

It provides information for a reserved client. For this MAC address of client pc is
required.
Q9. What is exclusion range?
IP-Address in this range will not assign to any client pc. These IP-Addresses excluded
from distribution.
Q10. What is the use of filter in DHCP Server?
 Allow—DHCP Services are provided to any MAC addresses in this list.
 Deny---DHCP Server are denied to any MAC addresses in this list.

What is DORA Process in DHCP?
Ans. DORA process explains that how DHCP assign IP-address for the client. DORA is the combination
four processes.
 Discover
 Offer
 Request
 Acknowledge

In this process client broadcast a discover message to all network devices to find out the
DHCP server. Discover message contains source port no 68 and destination port no 67. DHCP
server received this message and broadcast offer message to all the network devices but this
message contains MAC address of the client PC, only this PC read the message in this
message DHCP server offer IP-Address for the client. After reading offer message client pc
again broadcast a request message to the DHCP server and request for the offered IP-Address.
DHCP Server read this message and broadcast an acknowledgement message and assigns an
IP-address on the client PC this whole process is called DORA process.


DHCP Relay Agent:- It is used load balancing.

Chapter-7:DNS Server
Q1. What is DNS? What is its importance?
 The full form of DNS is Domain Name System a technique which resolve domain name
to IP address or IP address to Domain name.
 Importance: it is a difficult task to remember the 32 bit or 128 bit IP address of each
computer on the network. For example you can use http://rajiteducation.com instead of
the http://192.168.1.240/ IP address to access the rajiteducation website. Hence name
can easily remember but not IP Address. This is similar to your phone book, you can dial
number or by name. So DNS is used to resolve ip to name or name to ip.
Q2. What are the three elements of DNS?
 DNS namespace: A logical tree structure of domain names is called DNS namespace.
 DNS servers: The computer on which we install DNS server service is called DNS server.
It store or manage DNS database (Example name and address).
 DNS resolvers: The client side of the DNS is called DNS resolver. It is used for DNS query
to request information from DNS server.
Q3. What is DNS Zone?
 A Zone is a unit that stores the object information in to various records.
Q4. Explain different types of Zones?
 Primary zone-it stores the master copy of a specific domain .It stores the information in
text file and this file can be edited by an administrator.(Read/write zone).
 Secondary zone- Secondary zone is the copy of Primary Zone that is hosted/store on
another server. It cannot be stored in ADS.
 Stub zone- It store a copy of the zone that contains record essential to identify the
authoritative (confidential) DNS servers for that particular Zone.
Q5. How many records in DNS server?
 Host A & AAAA
 Alias(Second Name)
 MX
 PTR(Pointer Records)
 SRV
 SOA Etc.
Q6. What is WINS?
 WINS stand for windows internet Name Service it is similar to DNS that is use for
resolved computer name (NetBIOS) to the IP address and IP to NetBIOS name locally.

 Caching only DNS server
This type of DNS servers does not have any zones in it, and purely depends on
caching. They contain the information of what has been cached while resolving
queries.
 Stub DNS server
It is a DNS server hosting a stub zone. This kind of servers has a copy of a zone
containing only a list of the authoritative DNS servers for its master zone.
A stub zone is a read-only copy of a zone that contains basic information of the
master zone. It contains- SOA resource record for the zone, NS records, and Host
records.
Q1. What is a zone transfer?
 Zone transfer is the process through which the DNS database is copied from one server
to other.
Q2. What is forward lookup zone in DNS?
 Forward DNS lookup is used in domain name to find an IP address.
Q3. What is Reverse lookup zone in DNS?
 Reverse DNS lookup is using in IP address to find a domain name.

Q4. Which two types of records a new zone contains?
 Start of authority (SOA)
 Name Server(NS)
Note:-
­ SOA(Start of Authority) defines the basic properties of the zone such as
 Name of the primary server
 The refresh interval of the server
 Time period for which the secondary zone should retain the zone record
 Who is the responsible person for manage zone.
­ Name Server (NS)
 `NS Record specifies a server that is authoritative for a given zone.
Q5. What is SRV record?
 SRV stands for service location record.
 Service record allows administrators to use several servers for a single DNS
domain, to easily move a TCP/IP service from one host to another host and to
designate some service provider hosts as primary servers for a service and other
hosts as backups.

What is file server?
In the client/server model, a file server is a computer responsible for the central storage and
management of data files so that other computers on the same network can access the files.
Planning file services
You can share and manage folders by performing the following tasks.
 Installing the file services server role
 Sharing folders across network
 Accessing a shared folder
How to install file services server role?
Note: you can share folders in windows server 2008 without installing any server roles. But
installing the file services server role adds useful management tools in the server manager
console. Using this server role, you can perform functions, such as enable DFS, Configure disk
quotas, and generate storage reports.

You can Share folders across network by:
 Using Windows Explorer
 Using the provision shared folder wizard
 Using command Prompt or Script
Using Windows Explorer
When you share a folder Using Windows Explorer you can provide the following four permission levels
to users.
 Reader-Provide Read-only access on the shared folder.
 Contributor-Provide Read and Write access on the shared folder Same as change
 Co-owner-Provide full read and write access on the shared folder and also enable the user to
change file permissions, if required same as Full control.
 Owner- Provides full read and write access on the shared folder same as Full access.

Chapter-12: Working with Distributed File System

Objective: An enterprise can have hundreds of file servers and it quite difficult for each user to
remember which file is stored on a specific file server.DFS enables the use of a single namespace that
allows users to connect to any shared folder in a network. By using DFS, you can access all the shared
folders on a network using a single Network drive letter.
Allow user to access shared folders located on different location which appear on a single machine.
What is DFS Namespace?
Ans: DFS Namespace is a collection of shared folder at one location.
How to install DFS after installing File server role
Start/Administrative Tools/Server Manager/Expand the Role/File Services Node/Add Role
Services/Distributed file systemDFS NamespaceDFS Replication/Create a Namespace later using
the DFS Management snap-in server manager/NEXT/Finish.
How to create a DFS Namespace?
Start/Administrative Tools/DFS Management/Right clicks on Namespace/Enter the IP
Address=100.100.100.1(Main-Server)/Enter the Name for the namespace example=DFSNamespace/Next/Select
Stand-alone namespace/Next/Create/Close
How to add Folders to the DFS Namespace?
