70-417: Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA Windows Server 2012 Course 01 Install and Configure Servers

Cloud computing becoming increasingly popular On Premise computing still necessary o Custom work applications that you cannot host in cloud o Infrastructure resources provided to local clients Shared Resources o Files o Printers o Backup Enterprise Applications o Exchange o SQL

Hosted Exchange Server (Office 365) Microsoft SQL Microsoft Dynamics Microsoft Systems Center Why Host Locally vs. The Cloud?

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) o Full Virtual machine, but hosted in the Cloud o Someone manages hardware o You manage software o Windows Azure Compute available Software as a Service (Saas) o Hosting provider hosts application and infrastructure to support internal Application Windows InTune Office 365 Platform as a Service (Paas) o o Hosting provider provisions a platform Popular with Database Applications Provider provides database You manage the database

Network Infrastructure o DNS o DHCP o Authentication o Application Updates Windows Server 2012 is promoted as Cloud- Ready, but you still need local resources!

PowerShell is base of Windows Server Management GUI only provides easy access to automate Administrative Tasks All Management tasks can be done with PowerShell PowerShell scripts can be written Examples: o New-NetIPAddress -IPAddress 10.0.0.2 -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet" - DefaultGateway 10.0.0.1 -AddressFamily IPv4 -PrefixLength 24 o Add-Computer -DomainName corp.contoso.com

New feature Allows you to remove role and feature files to conserve disk space Allows installation of roles and features from remote locations or Installation Media Can be done on physical or virtual computers When a feature file is not available on a computer, server can be directed to files: o Side-by-side feature store (shared folder) o Windows Update o Installation Media

1. Location specified by users of Add Roles and Features Wizard or DISM installation commands 2. Evaluation of Group Policy Setting: Computer configuration \administrative templates\system\specify settings for optional component installation and component repair 3. Searching Windows Update

Specifying an alternate source path as part of the Install- WindowsFeature cmdlet, by adding the Source parameter Specifying an alternate source path on the Confirm installation options page while you are installing features by using the Add Roles and Features Wizard Configuring the Group Policy setting, Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair

Two methods: o Remove parameter of the Uninstall-WindowsFeature cmdlet will delete feature files from a server / offline virtual hard disk (VHD) Valid values for the Remove parameter are the names of roles, role services, and features o DISM commands, create custom WIM files that conserve disk space by omitting feature files Example: o Uninstall-WindowsFeature Name <feature_name> -ComputerName <computer_name> -Remove o Uninstall-WindowsFeature -Name RDS-Licensing ComputerName contoso_1 Remove o Uninstall-WindowsFeature Name AD-Domain-Services,GPMC VHD C:\WS2012VHDs\Contoso.vhd ComputerName ContosoDC1
