Server 2003 & client configuration
<p><span>Some days before I have done a job on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise edition & Client XP. It is departmental food court. In the office room of the restaurant have a system which will be Server system and main domain. There was another 8 system in every department of food <span> </span>with printer for billing.I</SPAN><br>
<p><span>Windows Server 2003 includes a mission critical Windows Server operating system, such as security, reliability, availability, and scalability.</SPAN><br>
<p><span>You have to install DNS server for DC without DNS the client computers wouldn't know which one is DC.You can host DNS on a different server than DC.</SPAN><br>
<p><span>Before Starting the DC installation process you need to make sure the <span> </SPAN>following points</SPAN><br>
<p><span> </SPAN><br>
<p><span>1)You have installed Basic windows server 2003 installation</SPAN><br>
<p><span>2)Make sure you have assigned a static ip address to your server</SPAN><br>
<p><span><span> </SPAN>Now start DC and DNS Setup process</SPAN><span></SPAN><br>
<a><span> </SPAN></A>
<span><span>Domain Controller</SPAN></SPAN><span></SPAN>
<span>Active Directory is a huge topic in itself. While DCPROMO is easy to run, planning of both the physical and the logical structure is the key to a trouble free active directory. </SPAN>
<p><span>Domain controllers do not have to be your most powerful machines, however they must be reliable and always available to answer logon requests. </SPAN><br>
<a><span>DNS (Domain Name System)</SPAN></A><span><span> </SPAN></SPAN><span>Role</SPAN>
<p><span>Once DNS is setup, it runs itself thanks to the new dynamic component hence DDNS. TCP/IP knowledge plus understanding of how DNS works is essential when troubleshooting connectivity problems.</SPAN><br>
<p><span>DNS enables client machines to resolve servers IP addresses. Once the client finds the server, Active Directory uses LDAP to locate services like Kerberos, Global Catalog that clients request.</SPAN><br>
<a><span>Print Server Role</SPAN></A><span></SPAN>
<p><span>In my experience there is a contrast between the software settings which are easy to configure and the hardware which constantly need for attention e.g. paper jam, 'out of toner'. Check list for print server:</SPAN><br>
<p><span></SPAN> <br>
<p><span>Printer Priority</SPAN><br>
<p><span>Network Printers</SPAN><br>
<p><span></SPAN><br>
<p><b><span>Client Configuration :- </SPAN></B><span>After</SPAN><span><span> Installation of Windows Xp give the IP Add on TCP/IP of IPV4.If you want to manually configure DNS server addresses, click</SPAN></SPAN><span><span> </SPAN></SPAN><b><span>Use the following DNS server addresses</SPAN></b><span><b><span>,</SPAN></B></SPAN><span><span> and then type the preferred DNS server and alternate DNS server IP addresses in the</SPAN></SPAN><span><span> </SPAN></SPAN><b><span>Preferred DNS server</SPAN></b><span><span> </SPAN></SPAN><span><span>and</SPAN></SPAN><span><span> </SPAN></SPAN><b><span>Alternate DNS server</SPAN></b><span><span> </SPAN></SPAN><span><span>boxes. After all job try to ping each other. I'm trying this and it also pinging. Files and data also can be shared through it.</SPAN></SPAN>
