CHECKING NORMAL FUNCTIONS OF SERVER

A network can be very large, called a WAN (Wide Area Network) spanning the globe, or very small as in a
home or small office environment. The Internet is the largest WAN, and it depends on servers to provide connectivity
and other services as well as access to shared information and applications. There are many types, categories and
functions of a server, but they are always a component of a network, and networks always have at least one client and
one server.

What is a normal function of a server?

SERVER is a computer used in a network and which provides a service to a client. Servers usually have more
processing power, memory and storage than client computers. The client is the computer that is not acting as the
server, at least at that point in time, and is requesting information or a service from the server. Understanding what a
server is involves an understanding of what networks are. When computers are connected in some physical (or
wireless) way and sharing services or information, this is referred to as a computer network. In a computer network,
there are two or more participants where at least one of them is acting as a client and one is acting as the server.
The origin of the server is to serve – technically means that the specific computer is serving all those
computers that are present in its network. It facilitates them by making queue of the printing command of several
computers at a time and also acts like a file server for those applications that are accessed by the online terminals.
The function of a computer server is to store, retrieve and send computer files and data to other computers on
a network.
Network servers have many functions and can form an important part of your computer network.

 Active Directory provides the structure to centralize the network and store information about network
resources across the entire domain. Active Directory uses Domain Controllers to keep this centralized
storage available to network users.
Here are the steps on Active Directory Domain Services setup and configuration of a new Domain Controller.

DCPromo (Domain Controller Promoter) is a tool in Active Directory that installs and removes Active Directory
Domain Services and promotes domain controllers.
Beginning in Windows Server 2008,Active Directory Domain Services role had to be installed prior to running
DCPromo, but it still needed to run to make the server a DC.

1. Log into your Windows Server and start the Server manager

2. Navigate to the Server Roles tab and press on the “Add Roles” button.

3. The Add Roles Wizard is going to open up, click Next.

4. The Wizard will display a list of Roles. Choose the Active Directory Domain Services Role.
  

5. The Active Directory Domain Services Role requires adding features to the server. Click on “Add required
features” on the appearing screen and then click on next.

6. on the following screen click on Install and wait for the installation to finish. When the installation finishes click
on Close.

7. At this point the Active Directory Domain Services are not configured yet.

8. If we click on Active Directory Domain Services button we get to the following screen. Our next step will be
configuring Active Directory Domain Services using dcpromo.exe.

9. We are about to start the Active Directory Domain Services installation Wizard.

10. Navigate to the following screen. Choose the “Create a new domain in a new forest option”and click
on next button.
  

11. Type in your Domain name.

12. Choose the oldest operating system in your network. This option exists for backwards compatibility of different
features.

13. If your Domain Controller is a stand-alone server you don’t have to choose the DNS server option. If otherwise, it’s
recommended to leave it checked.
  

14. Specify the folders that will contain the Active Directory controller database, log files. And SYSVOL and click
on Next.

15. Choose a password for Restore mode Administrator account. (This is not the Domain Administrator account, this
is an additional account used for recovery)

16. When the wizard finishes configuring the settings reboot your server.

17. After rebooting when you first log on the server is not going to accept your machine Administrator account.

18. In order to solve this issue you need to choose the “Switch User” button and login with your Domain
Administrator account which is basically the same user account and password but now it belongs to a domain the
domain name is needed. For example: PPSP2010\Administrator.

distributed to the networked computers.
a. network service
b. network cables
c. central server
2. It is a range of services, from the creation of user names and passwords to the allocation of rights, privileges,

V.
1. DHCP enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined range of numbers
configured for a given network. In the absence of a DHCP server, each computer or other device such as printer,
on the network needs to be assigned an IP address.
2. We need to configure and set the scope in order to determine how many computers are covered on your local
network. For example, configuring an IP address range of 192.168.1.50-100 to cover the 25+ PC Clients on my
local network.
3. You can recover volumes, folders, files, certain applications, and the system state through Windows Server Back-up.
And, in case of disasters like hard disk failures, you can perform a system recovery, which will restore your
complete system onto the new hard disk, by using a full server backup and the Windows Recovery Environment.
4. Yes. Because upon running the dcpromo, the installation wizard is telling you to install the Active Directory too, so
when running DCpromo is like installing and configuring the Active Directory at the same time
