The Globomantics Scenario
You are the newly hired Systems Administrator for a new startup
company called Globomantics, a stock brokerage. Hank Richards, our
Founder and CEO, is a rough and tumble Texan who isnt the most tech
savvy individual, but knows the value of having good people who know
the ropes when it comes to computers.
Youll be adding Application Services to the network, including:
A Hyper V Server for most of the new services
A Windows Deployment Server to easily install the servers
An Applications Server (think Web Server on steroids) that will host
SharePoint Services
A Terminal Services Server Farm to host Microsoft Office
A Windows Media Server to stream video

What You Need to Set Up A Hyper-V Server of Your Very Own
You have to get ready to implement a SharePoint Server for
collaboration, a Terminal Services Server for using
networked applications, and a Media Server for streaming
video training and messages. As the head geek atGlobomantics, you know the budget for hardware is low, but
you have plenty of licenses of Server 2008 just lying around.
Fortunately, you also have a pretty decent server-class box
with 4 GB of RAM with a Quad-Core processor and about a
terabyte of disk space just hanging out taking up space. You
decide the best way to use what you have is to provide
services through using Virtual Machines rather than try to
beg for more hardware.

SSL uses Port 443 (generally).

Coach Culbertson
How To Set Up SSL in IIS
First, we need a SSL Certificate.
You can
Buy one from a Third Party (Verisign, GoDaddy, etc.)
Use a Self-Signed Certificate from the Server.
Use a Certificate generated from a Server 2008/Server 2003
Certificate Authority.
Use the SharePoint certificate that was generated during
SharePoint Configuration.
Then we need to install the certificate (or verify its existence.)
After that, we need to set a Binding for the SharePoint Site so that it can
use HTTPS and port 443.
Then instruct the users to access the SharePoint 80 site using https://
instead of http://

critical of times. He is adamant that you do whatever you need to so t hat he and
the other sales staff have access to the Office-based report writing software as
close to 100% of the time. So heres our options:
Network Load Balancing--Distributes work load to different machinesto alleviate stress on the machines and provide high scalability. Bestfor Web-Based stuff.
Failover ClusteringMultiple machines acting like one machine forhigh availability in case one machine fails. Best for Fault Tolerance (incase one machine blows up) and for Database servers.
Terminal Services Load BalancingRequires at least two machineswith TS configuration. Load balancing just redirects TS requests to theserver thats less busy.

How to Build and Deploy a Deployment Services Image To Create Duplicate Machines So

Since we already have a TS machine built, well use ourDeployment Services machine to capture an image of itand then deploy it on another virtual machine.
1. First, we need to create a Capture Image so we can grabwhats on TS1.
2. Then we need to run a utility called sysprep on TS1 sowe can use the OS and all its fun features weveinstalled as a clean image.
3. Then we capture the image by rebooting the machineand using the Capture image we created to boot upwith.
4. After the capture is complete, we can deploy usingDeployment Services as normal.

Hank recently took a trip to visit a buddys company, and while hewas there he witnessed employees viewing training and videoupdates from the CEO while sitting their desks. He asked his buddyhow that worked, and he said that his IT guys used Server 2008 tocreate it, but he didnt know how. All he did was talk in front of acamera.
So of course, Hank wants you to create GloboTV, whereemployees can also be able to get updates and training.
After asking Hanks secretary to stop putting visits to othercompanies on his schedule, you look up Windows Media Server.
Yes, it can be done.
This is what happens when Hank visits other companies

How To Get Your Stuff Streaming
Once Streaming Media Services is installed, you can
create Publishing Points which can hold: Single Files
Playlists
Web Pages
Live Broadcasts
Everything is wizardized, so you wont need a whole
lot of special knowledge. All youll really need is a
media file in WMV format (or a live broadcast).
Publishing Points can be accessed via Internet
Explorer, but instead of using http://, you can use
mms:// as the protocol.
Media is automatically opened up into Media
Player, and is not actually saved to the hard drive.

Cluster What?
Failover Clustering is a Feature that allows multiple servers to do the same j ob.
If one server dies, the other server(s) in the cluster will take over the tasks.
Failover Clustering uses a Quorum disk (AKA witness disk) which holds
replicated files and other info that determines how many failures can occur
before the cluster goes boom.
While designed primarily for Storage Area Networks, you can use c lustering for
other services (with caution).
Clustering does have very specific hardware requirements, i.e. SCSI, iSCSI, Fiber
Channel for use. Be careful when selecting hardware for clusters.
Microsoft has actually opened up a new section specifically for devel opment of
hardware that plays nice in the Failover Clustering sandbox.
Clustering: A Weird Word For Fault Tolerance
Clustering is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Its great for use with Exchange,
SQL Server, and File Servers. Other services may or m ay not play wel l with
clustering. If you find yourself frustrated by trying to cluster a particular Role
or Service, you might find that Network Load Balancing is a better choice.
Train Signal, Inc.
Coach Culbertson
Cluster What?
In the interest of science, youll be doing a little experiment to see if you cluster
Windows Media Services. Normally, you would cluster two physical machines
together, or two Hyper-V machines on TWO SEPARATE H yper-V servers. Since
were kind of hardware poor at Globomantics right now, well try i t with 2 Hyper-
V machines.
It might work, or it might blow up in y our face. But why not try it to get famili ar
with the process?
First well grab an image of our Media Services machine and create a duplicate
virtual machine, and then get Failover Clustering installed on both. Then well
attempt to create a cluster.
Will it work? Will it crash and burn? Lets find out!

Look Mom, No Hands! Part Deaux
When youre doing mass deployment of servers and
clients, you probably dont want to take the time to go
around to all of the machines and put in the license keys
(unless you get paid by the hour
).Microsoft provides two automated solutions that work
with a license key you buy that allows you to activate
multiple machines.
Of the two tools, the Key Management Service is more
hands-off, while the VAMT is more hands-on and for
smaller deployments.
Lets take a look at each tool in more detail.
Its all about the keys

The Volume Activation Management Tool
The VAMT is a downloadable tool that allows for activation only. You still have to
enter the license key manually or via an answer file during deployment. (Hint: For a
large deployment of a lot of machines, go with the answer file opt ion)
You have to buy a MAK (Multiple Activation Key) from Microsoft to use the VAMT.
The VAMT can be installed on a Vista client, Server 2k8, or Server 2k3.
Heres how it works:

You need to have a minimum of 5 Servers for KMS to work. Otherwise, it will

RAIDNo, Not The Bug Killer
Having a Server without RAID is like havingdinner on a piece of notebook paper. Pickyour hardware carefully.
Best and most Prevalent OptionHardware-based RAID 5 array
Needs at least 3 HDDs to work. Protects against the failure of a single
disk. Through the magic of parity.
Uses 20% (or less, depending on howmany disks you have) of each disk forparity.
Can rebuild a failed disk from theinformation on the parity informationon the other disks.
Most hardware-based RAID 5 arraysare hot-swappable.

NAS, SANTwo things with the same letters but not the same.
Heres the difference:
A Storage Area Network is a bunch of drives on a separate machine that
look like theyre attached to a machine. Usually a Server or a Server
Farm.
Network Attached Storage is a bunch of drives on a server or an
appliance that are clearly on a separate drive. (Think Shared
Drives/Folders).

SCSIIts Really Not Scuzzy At All
SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is a faster (and more
expensive) type of HDD that is the foundation of many RAID hardware
solutions.
Its very popular in SANs and NAS, as it natively supports multiple disks
on the same Bus.
iSCSI is very similar to SCSI , except that it uses TCP/IP as a transport
protocol and doesnt require crazy cabling like Fiber Channel. It can be
used over long distances using existing network structure.
