What is a server?
•Definition: A network server is a computer
designed to process requests and deliver data to
other (client) computers over a local network or
the Internet.

What is network operating system?
4
• Network operating systems typically are used
to run computers that act as servers.
• They provide the capabilities required for
network operation.
• Network operating systems are also designed for
client computers and provide functions so the
distinction between network operating systems
and standalone operating systems is not always
obvious.

What is a Server
5
•A server is a device with a particular set of
programs or protocols that provide various
services, which other machines or clients
request, to perform certain tasks.
•Together, a server and its clients form a
client/server network, which provides routing
systems and centralized access to information,
resources, stored data, etc.

What is a Server…
•At the most ground level, one can consider it as a
technology solution that serves files, data, print,
fax resources and multiple computers.
•The advanced server versions, like Windows Small
Business Server 2003 R2 enable the user to handle
the accounts and passwords, allow or limit the
access to shared resources, automatically support
the data and access the business information
remotely
6

Types of Servers
The multiple types of servers or types of network servers
are as follows:
• File Server Provides convenient, centralized access to files
and directories for individual users, departments, and entire
organizations. Choosing this option allows you to manage
user disk space by enabling and configuring disk quota
management and to provide improved file system.
• Print Server Provides centralized and managed access
to printing devices by serving shared printers and
printer drivers to client computers.
7

Types of Servers…
8
• Application Server (IIS, ASP.NET) Provides infrastructure
components required to support the hosting of Web
applications.
• Mail Server (POP3, SMTP) Installs POP3 and SMTP so that
the server can act as an e-mail server for POP3 clients.
• Terminal Server Provides applications and server
resources, such as printers and storage, to multiple users
as if those applications and resources were installed on
their own computers.

Types of Servers…
9
• Remote Access/VPN Server Provides multiple- protocol
routing and remote access services for dial-in, local area
networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs).
• Domain Controller (Active Directory) Provides directory
services to clients in the network.
• DHCP Server Provides automatic IP addressing services
to clients configured to use dynamic IP addressing.

Client Support
10
•NOS client support tasks
•Creating and managing client accounts
•Enabling clients to connect to the network
•Allowing clients to share resources
•Managing clients’ access to shared
resources
•Facilitating communication between clients

Client/Server Communication
11
•Logon process
•Redirector
•Intercepts requests, determines where to handle
•File access protocol
•Windows XP client communication with Windows
Server 2008
•CIFS (Common Internet File System)

Users and Groups
• After NOS client authentication, Client gains
access to NOS services, resources
• Administrator account
Is the most privileged user account
Is an unlimited rights to server, domain resources, objects
Created by default
• User names
• NOS grants each network user access to files and other
shared resources
12

Users and Groups…
• Groups
• Basis for resource and account management
• Assists in resource sharing and security control
13

The Windows Server 2003 Family
14
• Windows Server 2003is, of course, more secure, more
reliable, more available, and easier to administer
than any previous version of Windows.
• Let’s take a close look at the platform and how it compares
to Microsoft Windows 2000.
• This lesson provides a brief overview of the Windows
Server 2003 family, focusing on the differences among the
product editions: Web Edition, Standard Edition,
Enterprise Edition, and Datacenter Edition.
• Windows Server 2003 is available in 64-bit as well as 32-
bit versions.

• Provide resource sharing
• Older
• UNIX developed in 1969
• UNIX preceded, led to TCP/IP protocol suite development
• Most Internet servers run UNIX
• Efficient and flexible
• Some difficulty to master UNIX
• Not controlled, distributed by single manufacturer
• Some version nonproprietary and freely
distributed 19

Network Computer Groups
Workgroups
• Used in Peer-to-peer network
• Decentralized management
• Each computer has own data base, User accounts and
security privileges
• Significantly more administration effort
• Practical for small networks
• Mostly used for few users
• Simple to design, implement
20

Server Software Configuration
Configurations for server software depend on the
purpose or function of the server.
Generally, a server may be configured for one or
more of the following roles:
• An application server which runs specific
software applications for end users, such as a
server that runs a central Oracle Database that
is accessed by users across an organisation.
• A storage server which provides a central
storage place for data that can be accessed by
computer users around a network. 21

Server Software Configuration
Generally, a server may be configured for one or more
of the following roles:…
• A network services server which provides specific
services such as print, user authentication and
authorisations, dynamic host configuration protocol
(DHCP), and domain name system (DNS) are some
examples of the services that can be provided.
• Network setting, which includes network protocol
to be used, network addressing, server name and
network adaptor settings.
22

Server Items T
o BeConfigured
• Generally, the following items will need to be
configured on a server:…
• Services, which include enabling and configuring specific
services to run on the server, such as setting the server to
run dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) and
domain name system (DNS) services for an organisation.
• Authentication, which involves setting how users of the
server will be identified. This may involve setting up local
user accounts with passwords on the server or setting the
server to authenticate users via some other mechanism.
23

Server Items T
o BeConfigured
24
• Generally, the following items will need to be
configured on a server:…
• Authorisation, which is setting up which authenticated users
are permitted to access and use the server, such as allocating
user permission to access data storage or server applications
or programs.
• Environment setting and policies, which are settings for the
server to operate as required or settings dictated by
organizational policy. Having data backup schedules for the
server is an example of environment setting.

P
Server
•A network services server which provides specific
services such as print, user authentication and
authorisations, dynamic host configuration protocol
(DHCP), and domain name system (DNS) are
some examples of the services that can be
provided.
34

Domain Names and DNS…
How the DNS works…
• A domain name usually consists of two or more parts
(technically labels), separated by dots. For example
wikipedia.org.
• The rightmost label conveys the top level domain (for
example, the address en.wikipedia.org has the top level
(domain org).
• Each domain or subdomain has one or more
authoritative DNS servers that publish information about
that domain and the name servers of any domains
"beneath" it. 35

Domain Names and DNS
36
How the DNS works
•The domain name space consists of a tree of
domain names.
•Each node or leaf in the tree has one or more
resource records, which hold information
associated with the domain name.

Domain Names and DNS…
37

Domain Names and DNS
• The tree subdivides into zones.
• A zone consists of a collection of connected nodes
authoritatively served by an authoritative DNS name
server.
• A resolver (DNS server) looks up the information
associated with nodes.
• A resolver knows how to communicate with name
servers by sending DNS requests, and heeding DNS
responses 38

Configuring DHCP
39
•The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a
set of rules used by a communications device such as a
computer, router or network adapter to allow the device
to request and obtain an IP address from a server which
has a list of addresses available for assignment.
• IP addresses and other parameters such as the default
gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers
can be assigned by the DHCP server.

Configuring DHCP
40
•The DHCP server ensures that all IP
addresses are unique.
•IP address assignment occurs when the
DHCP client boots up or regains
connectivity to the network.
•The DHCP client sends out a query
requesting a response from a DHCP
server.

DHCP Process
• The DHCP server then replies to the client with its
assigned IP address, subnet mask, DNS server and
default gateway information.
• The assigned IP address generally expires after a
predetermined period of time, at which point the
DHCP client and server renegotiate a new IP
address from the server’s predefined pool of
addresses.
• Office networks should use DHCP, in particular
when workers make extensive use of laptops
which link directly to the network occasionally. 41

DHCPOperations
•DHCP operations fall into four basic phases.
These phases are
• IP lease request,
• IP lease offer,
• IP lease selection, and
• IP lease
• Acknowledgement.
42

Active Directory Domain Services
43
•Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft technology
used to manage computers and other devices on
a network.
•It is a primary feature of Windows Server, an
operating system that runs both local and
Internet-based servers.

Configuring andTroubleshooting DNSand

Install & Configuring DNS
• For creating the domain name server, we can
search “dcpromo” on window start or open
using WIN + R and run “dcpropmo”.
• If we have domain name before and roles, first we
should remove, the domain name removes by using
“dcpromo” and select Delete option, the role
