Wiley: 98-365Setup GuidePage 1 of 1Appendix98-365 Lab Setup GuideGetting StartedThe 98-365 exam of the Microsoft Official Academic Course (MOAC) series includes a textbook with sample exercises. The exercises are written for classroom use under the supervision of an instructor or lab aide. In an academic setting, the computer lab might be used by a variety of classes each day, so you must plan your setup procedure accordingly. For example, consider automating the classroom setup procedure and using removable hard disks in the classroom. You can use the automated setup procedure to rapidly configure the classroom environment, and remove the fixed disks after teaching this class each day.Lab ConfigurationThis course should be taught in a lab containing networked computers where students can develop their skills through hands-on experience with Microsoft Windows. The exercises in the lab manual require the computers to be installed and configured in a specific manner. Failure to adhere to the setup instructions in this document can produce unanticipated results when the students perform the exercises.The lab configuration consists of a single server running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise and a number of student server. In the first lesson, the students will install Windows Server 2008 R2.Since the students will be installing their own servers and installing and configuring Active Directory, DNS and DHCP, the classroom network should be separate from the rest of the school. The lab server will act as a demo machine and will provide access to any files necessary to perform the exercises. In addition, the classroom should have Internet access so that students can download updates. Since students will not be configure IP configuration, until lesson 2, you should configure a DHCP server or device that provides DHCP services, which will allow Internet access. In Lesson 2, the IP addresses specified are 172.24.1.XX with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway of 172.24.1.20. The instructor computer will be assigned 172.24.1.30. You can assign a 172.24.1.201 to 172.24.1.240 for DHCP.This document includes a setup procedure that configures the instructor server and the student servers to provide the minimum services required throughout the course. NoteFor the purposes of this lab, all server and workstation passwords, for user accounts and other purposes, will be set to Pa$$w0rd. This is obviously not a secure practice in a real world situation, and instructors should remind students of this at the outset.Server RequirementsThe computer running Windows Server 2008 R2 in the classroom requires the following hardware and software.Hardware Requirements Minimum: 64-bit dual-core processor Minimum: 4 GB RAM Minimum: 2 Drives, 120 GB each DVD drive Network interface adapter Minimum: Super VGA (1024x768) display Keyboard MouseSoftware RequirementsAll of the software listed below is required for this course: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise evaluation edition available as a free download from Microsofts web site at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/trial-software.aspxNoteThis list includes both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the software products, where available.
