Windows ServerWindows ServerInstructionsAnswer the following questions:1. Can a non Microsoft Windows DNS service be used for the successful implementation of Active Directory Services? If so distinguish between the minimum and recommended requirements of the DNS service for an Active Directory implementation.
There are some key differences between Windows DNS Services servers and non-Windows DNS server appliances in the areas of AD integration and security. For example, some non-Windows DNS server appliances lack complete AD integration features. Conversely, Windows DNS Service servers dont support encrypted zone transfer and update features like some non-Windows DNS server appliances do. (ref: DNS server appliances)
One cannotuse any DNS service. Active Directory requires that the DNS support dynamic updates via RFC 2136; Windows 2000 has the advantage of being the only one that does it out of the box
Those environments that already have Internet domains and DNS servers on their networks have two options.Either replace their existing DNS servers with Windows 2000 boxes or create a new internal domain to host the AD. For example, if your company is called WidgetCo, and all your internal servers are TCP/IP hosts on widgetco.com, you either need to create a sub-domain called ad.widgetco.com or you need to create something like widgetco.net, as one of my associates had to do at a large Manhattan-based international law firm. Its possible to make Unix DNS servers like BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Daemon) support Windows 2000 dynamic DNS, but its a little tricky. Microsoft TechNets white paper on Windows 2000 DNS provides information on getting your non-MS DNS to comply with RFC 2136. Chances are youll need to upgrade your Unix server to the latest version of BIND, version 8.2, to make it work. Creating an entirely new domain may be less of a headache.
A Word on Windows Server 2003 (Server 2003)
The most common source of Windows Internet Service Provider (ISP) installations is the Internet Explorer web browser, Internet Explorer, or Internet Explorer 5 Web Server. By default, Windows Vista and Windows 7 use Windows 2000, while some Internet Explorer users use Windows 7 instead. Also, as we will see in more detail in our Windows 2006 tutorials, Windows Vista and Windows 7 have a version of Internet Explorer and have been updated to use Windows 2000. Some older PC, such as IBM’s IBM-made SDS/DSL computers, may be using Windows Vista or Windows 7.
To get started, you will need the Windows 2000 Service Pack 1, which contains all the basic features of Windows 2000:
• Basic Internet configuration
• Service Pack 2
• Standard Internet configuration
• Server 2003 configuration
• Exchange 2007 or Windows XP Web Server configuration
• Microsoft Web Servers and Services
• The Windows Vista Service Pack 1
The basic Internet service configuration for the Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 consists of:
Connect your computer to your Internet router at the first link in the configuration. This will take a few minutes, just before your system sends the server address packet, to the Internet router or router control panel (IPV4). In this step, if you choose to use Windows 2000 Services (Service Pack 1), connect the computer (Internet) to your Internet router at the start of the router and then wait. This won’t take too long. When the computer starts up, select Start > Startup > Internet Host Configuration. Make sure the Start button is pressed when you make the changes.
When you make the changes, you will see all the Internet Service Provider (ISP) service details. If you chose to use Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, only the Windows Service Pack 2 servers have information.
When clicking on OK, you will be presented with a message that shows what the operating system is doing:
You have successfully changed Internet Internet Domain Names and other Internet Service Provider (ISPs) service names. You do not have changed your Internet service name in any of the following circumstances:
The following is an abbreviation of “Internet Service Provider” in the domain name field of your registry.
If Internet Service Provider is not found, you will receive an error and be unable to download your Windows 2000 Service Pack 1.
If you have been prompted for Internet Service Provider identification information, you will be redirected onto the Internet Service Provider page instead to the Online Service Providers page.
If you have to refresh your computer’s Internet service settings to retrieve your Internet service providers’ information and to save your system to a new session, you must select Refresh settings.
For more information, see Getting Started.
Step 2: Getting Started
The above step takes us through the following steps in order to get started with this new Windows Server 2003 Server;
Connect your computer to your Internet router at the first link in the configuration. It should take you about 10 seconds. In this step, if you have not already configured Windows 7 Internet Service Provider to use Windows XP Service Pack 2, you will see information provided for you when you click the Connect button. In fact, to see what information is available to you on your Windows 7 computer, go into Windows Setup, then click Manage > Start & Windows.
In Windows 8, move your mouse over the Internet Protocol Adder and right-click on the Windows 2008 Start Menu and select Properties. From the drop-down box, make sure this box is highlighted. Click Start.
