Computer Systems Servicing NCII - Grade 12
Quarter 1 – Module 5: File Server

I. Introduction:
In this module you will be familiarized on what DHCP is and be guided to the
step by step in configuring DHCP server. And since you already have a background
in file sharing, you will now be guided in configuring file server. This topic will help
you to access the services that Windows Server 2008 R2 offers.

II. Objectives
At the end of the lesson you are expected to:

TLE_IACSS9-12SUCS-IIIf-j-IVa-j-38
• Recall the steps in configuring DHCP and File Server.
• Explain what DHCP and File server is.
• Illustrate the importance of DHCP Server in IP Addressing in a Client-
Server Network.

III. Vocabulary List

Listed below are some important terms that you can find in this lesson.

✓ DHCP Server
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a server that automatically assigns IP
addresses to computers and other devices on the network.

✓ File Server Resource Manager (FSRM)

File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) is a role service in Windows Server that
enables you to manage and classify data stored on file servers

V. Learning Activities

Learning Activity 1. I Belong to that Class

Do you still remember these numbers?
What do we call that?

Correct! The numbers shown in the box is called an IP address, and this unique
address is what are our devices like computer or cellphone to connect and be
identified over a network. Do you still remember how IP addresses being class? This
activity will surely help you to remember it!

What is a DHCP Server?

A DHCP server (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a server that automatically
assigns IP addresses to computers and other devices on the network. Without a
DHCP server, each device on the network would need to be manually configured with
an IP address.

Why is a DHCP server needed?

Every device on the network needs an IP address to access network resources such
as the internet, applications and even making phone calls. With a DHCP server this
entire process is automated and can be managed from a centralized server. When
mobile devices move from one office to another it may require a new IP address.
DHCP handles this automatically providing a new IP addresses when the device
moves to another location. Without a DHCP server there would be an overwhelming
amount of manual configuration assigning IP addresses to devices on the network.
A DHCP server is a huge time saver.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO INSTALL DHCP ROLE AND CONFIGURE

To start,
you need to log in
to the server with
administrator
privileges then
start the “server
Manager” by
clicking on
“Server Manager”
icon on task bar
and go to “Roles”

then click on “Add Roles” option to

open Add roles Wizard.

3
 Then it will load
the Roles
Wizard and
select the
“DHCP Server”
from the list
and click next
to continue.

Then it will give

description about the role.
Click next to continue.

Next window is asking to

use which interface to
serve DHCP clients. If
server has multiple NIC
with multiple IP you can
add them also to serve
DHCP clients.

4
 In next window, it
will give opportunity
to add DNS settings
that should apply for
DHCP clients.

Next window is to
define the WINS server
details.

In next window we
can add the scope,
the Starting IP,
End IP of the
DHCP range,
subnet mask,
default gateway,
leased time etc.

5
In next Window it can
configure to support IPv6 as
well.

Then it will give

the confirmation
window before
begin the install.
Click on “Install”

Once installation
is finally
finished, DHCP
server interface
can open from
Start >
Administrative
Tools > DHCP

 Learning Activity 2. My KWL
Since you already have a prior knowledge about file sharing, all you have
to do in this activity is recalling them. It’s just an easy task, right?
Instruction: In this activity you have to write at least 5 items in the
column for Know and Want. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

File Server Resource Manager in Windows 2008 R2

File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) is a role service in Windows
Server that enables you to manage and classify data stored on file
servers. You can use File Server Resource Manager to automatically
classify files, perform tasks based on these classifications, set quotas on
folders, and create reports monitoring storage usage.

How to install File Server Resource Manager in Windows 2008 R2

1. Add Role Services by going to Server Manager>Role.

7
2. Check File Server
Resource Manager to install.

3. In the Configure
Storage Usage
Monitoring, select the
volume and options.

4. You have these report

options: Large File
Report, Least Recently
Accessed Files, Most
Recently Access
Files, Quota Usage
Report, Duplicate Files
Reports, Files by Owner
Report, Files by File
Group Report and File
Screen Audit Report.

8
 5. Select a location to save the reports, receive report email and setup SMTP
server.

6. After confirming the

selection, click Install.

Now create a Folder and share it with below permissions.

Share name: UserData$ (You can hide the share using the dollar sign ($) at the
end of the share name)
Administrators : Full Control
System : Full Control
Authenticated Users : Full Control

Practice Task #3 Sketch noting

Instead of traditional essay writing, you will sketch a picture that represents what
you understand in this module. Have your drawing in a short bond paper.
Remember, it’s not about the quality of the art – it’s about how drawing prompts you
to visualize their understanding and look at your learning from a different
perspective.
