Definition and Characteristics of Network OS
 A network operating system (NOS) is the software that

runs on a server computer and enables the server to
manage data, users, groups, security, applications, and
other networking functions.
 It is a computer operating system that is designed primarily

to support workstation, personal computer, and, in some
instances, older terminal that are connected on a local
area network (LAN).

What is Server?
 Servers is large system with higher processing speed,
memory and hard disk capacity whose role in a network is to
provide services and resources to users.
 In a large network environment, servers may have one or

more specific roles in a network, depending on the number of
users, volume of traffic, number of peripherals, and so on
 Computer that functions as servers within a domain can have

one of two roles, Domain Controller or Member Server.

Previ Next End
SERVER-BASED NETWORK:-
 Server-based network:- A network in which

network security and storage are managed
centrally by one or more servers.
21
Previ Next End
CONT…
How It Works
 In a server-based network, special computers called

servers handle network tasks such as authenticating
users, storing files, managing printers, and running
applications such as database and e-mail programs.
 Security is generally centralized in a security provider,

which allows users to have one user account for logging

on to any computer in the network. Because files are
stored centrally, they can be easily secured and backed
up.
22

Role of Server:
1. Domain Controller is the authentication server or security

server validate users for logging on and accessing network
resources.
2. Member servers is a computer that provides specific
function.
Such as :-File and print servers provide users with
centralized locations for storing files and accessing print

devices.
3. Standalone Server is a computer install only NOS without
service 23

Client Requirements issues

 One of the first and most important activities to
get on when confirming server specifications is to
confirm client needs and to ensure that they
acknowledge that requirements have been
captured correctly.
 So one of the tasks in confirming client needs is to

document the requirements.
25
Previ Next End
CONT…
 This may include identifying or clarifying

 The business case
 Level of services they need
 Maintenance and backup requirements
 Bandwidth issues
 The nature of the data (e.g. text, multimedia)

 Security needs (E.g. levels of user access and privileges)
 Available support resources
 Cost or budget.
26
Previ Next End
CONT…
 Once requirements have been defined and client needs
are clarified, it’s time to start thinking about identifying
products that fit the solution. In this case, we need to
focus on the possible server solutions.

REVIEW HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

COMPATIBILITY
Computer compatibility
 A family of computer models is said to be compatible
if certain software that runs on one of the
models can also be run on all other models of
the family.
 The computer models may differ in performance,

reliability or some other characteristic. These
differences may affect the outcome of the running
of the software.
37
Previ Next End
CONT…
What is Software compatibility?

 Software compatibility is a characteristic of
software components or systems which can operate
satisfactorily together on the same computer, or on
different computers linked by a computer network.
It is possible that some software components or

systems may be compatible in one environment

and incompatible in another.
38
Previ Next End
CONT…..
 Software compatibility can refer to the

compatibility that particular software has running
on a particular CPU architecture such as Intel or
PowerPC.
 Software compatibility can also refer to ability for

the software to run on a particular operating
system. Very rarely is compiled software compatible

with multiple different CPU architectures.
39
Previ Next End
CONT…
 Software incompatibility occurs many times for

new software released for a newer version of an
operating system which is incompatible with the
older version of the operating system because
it may miss some of the features and functionality
that the software depends on.
 Software that works on older versions of an

operating system is said to be backwards
compatible.

Previ Next End
CONT….
What is Hardware Compatibility?

 Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) is a list of
computer hardware (typically including many types
of peripheral devices) that is compatible with a
particular operating system or device management
software.
 In today's world, there is a vast amount of computer

hardware in circulation, and many operating
systems too.
41
Previ Next End
CONT…
 Hardware compatibility can refer to the

compatibility of computer hardware components
with a particular CPU architecture, bus,
motherboard or operating system.
 Hardware that is compatible may not always run at

its highest stated performance, but it can work

with legacy components.
42
Previ Next End
CONT…
 An example is RAM chips, some of which can run at

a lower (or sometimes higher) clock rate than rated.
Hardware that was designed for one
operating system may not work for another, if
device or kernel drivers are unavailable.

CONT….
Selecting the Computer Name

 Each computer on a network must have a name that is
unique within that network. Many companies have a
standard naming convention for their servers and
workstations.
Name of the Workgroup or Domain
 During the server installation, the Setup Wizard will ask

for the name of the workgroup or domain that the server
will be joining. You can either enter the name of an
existing organizational structure or enter a new name,
creating a new workgroup or domain.
47
Previ Next End
CONT…
Network Protocol and IP Address of the Server
 When installing Windows Server 2003, you must install and

configure a network protocol that will allow it to communicate
with other machines on the network. Currently, the most
commonly used protocol is called TCP/IP, which stands for
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This protocol
allows computers throughout the Internet to communicate.

After you install the TCP/IP protocol, you need to configure an
IP address for the server

DOMAIN
 A Domain is a logical grouping of users, computers, and
resources that makes up a security and administrative
boundary.
 It is not a physical entity and doesn’t identify the actual

network topology or physical location of the network, but it
provides a way to secure and organize objects.

DOMAIN CONTROLLER
 A domain controller manages information in the Active

Directory database and enables users to log on to the
domain, be authenticated for accessing resources in the
domain, and search the directory for information about
users and network resources.
 Domain controllers act as the central security
component of a domain.
 All security and account validation is performed by a
domain controller.
 Every domain must have at least one domain controller.
77

ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT
 Organizational Unit (OU) is a special container of Active

Directory, which is used to organize Active Director objects
within a domain into administrative groups or simply an
organizational unit (OU) is a logical group of Active Directory

TRUST
 Active Directory Trust relationship is a logical link

which allows a domain to access another domain, or a
forest to access another forest. Trusts which are created
automatically are called as implicit Trusts and the

DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM (DNS)

 Domain Name System (DNS) is a naming system based

on a distributed database used in Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networks to
translate computer names to Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses.
 DNS is most commonly associated with the Internet.

However, private networks use DNS extensively to

resolve computer names and to locate computers
within their local networks and the Internet.

DNS PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

 DNS names are user-friendly, which means that

they are easier to remember than IP addresses.
 DNS names remain more constant than IP
addresses. An IP address for a server can change,
but the server name remains the same.
 DNS allows users to connect to local servers using
the same naming convention as the Internet.

 Generally DNS is used for translating host
names to IP addresses and the reverse.

INSTALL DNS ON WINDOWS SERVER 2003

Before installing and configuring DNS on our server we have to perform
some preliminary tasks. Specifically, we have to configure the server with
a static IP address and a DNS suffix. The suffix will be used to fully-
qualify the server name. To begin:
 When the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
window comes up, enter an IP address ,
subnet mask and default gateway IP

addresses that are all compatible with
your LAN.
 Our LAN is on a 192.168.1.0/24 network,
so our settings are as follows:
130
Previ Next End
CONT…
 3. For the Preferred DNS Server , enter the loopback address 127.0.0.1 . This
tells the server to use its own DNS server service for name resolution, rather
than using a separate server. After filling out those fields , click the Advanced
button.
 4. When the Advanced TCP/IP Settings window comes up, click the DNS tab,
enter firewall.test on the DNS suffix for this connection text field, check
Register this connection's address in DNS , check Use this connection's
DNS suffix in DNS registration , and click OK , OK , and then Close
131
Previ Next End
CONT..
 Now that we have configured our server with a static IP

address and a DNS suffix, we are ready to install DNS. To
do this:
1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs .
2. When the Add or Remove Program window launches, click
Add/Remove Windows Components on the left pane.
3. When the Windows Components Wizard comes up, scroll down
and highlight Networking Services and then click the Details

button.
4. When the Networking Services window comes up, place a check
mark next to Domain Name System (DNS) and click OK and
OK again.

End
133
Previ Next End
CONT…
 Note that, during the install, Windows may generate

an error maintaining that it could not find a file
needed for DNS installation. If this happens, insert
your Windows Server 2003 CD into the server's
CD-ROM drive and browse to the i386 directory.
The wizard should automatically find the file and
allow you to select it. After that, the wizard should

resume the install.

 After this, DNS should be successfully installed. To launch

the DNS MMC, go to Start > Administrative Tools > DNS

 On the left pane of the DNS MMC, there is a server

node with three nodes below it, titled Forward
Lookup Zones, Reverse Lookup Zones and Event
Viewer.
 The Forward Lookup Zones node stores zones that are

used to map host names to IP addresses, whereas the
Reverse Lookup Zones node stores zones that are used

to map IP addresses to host names.
136
Previ Next End
SETTING UP A CACHE-ONLY DNS SERVER

 A cache-only DNS server contains no zones or

resource records. Its only function is to cache
answers to queries that it processes, that way if the
server receives the same query again later, rather
than go through the recursion process again to
answer the query, the cache-only DNS server would
just return the cached response, thereby saving time.
 With that said, our newly installed DNS server is

already a cache-only DNS server!
137
Previ Next End
CREATING A PRIMARY FORWARD LOOKUP ZONE

 With its limited functionality, a cache-only DNS server is

best suited for a small office environment or a small
remote branch office. However, in a large enterprise where
Active Directory is typically deployed, more features
would be needed from a DNS server, such as the ability to
store records for computers, servers and Active Directory.
The DNS server stores those records in a database, or a
zone .
DNS has a few different types of zones, and each has a

different function. We will first create a primary forward
lookup zone titled firewall.test . We do not want to name it
firewall.cx , or any variation that uses a valid top-level
domain name, as this would potentially disrupt the
clients' abilities to access the real websites for those
domains. 138
Previ Next End
STEPS TO CREATE FORWARD LOOKUP ZONES

1. On the DNS MMC, right-click the Forward Lookup

Zones node and choose New Zone .
2. When the New Zone Wizard comes up, click Next .
3. On the Zone Type screen, make sure that Primary zone
is selected and click Next .
4. On the Zone Name screen, type firewall.test .
5. On the Zone File screen, click Next .
6. On the Dynamic Update screen, make sure that “ Do not

allow dynamic updates ” is selected and click Next .
7. On the next screen, click Finish .
We now have a foundation that we can place resource records
in for name resolution by internal clients.
139
Previ Next End
CREATING A PRIMARY REVERSE LOOKUP ZONE

 Different to the forward lookup zone, a reverse

lookup zone is used by the DNS server to resolve IP
addresses to host names. Not as frequently used as
forward lookup zones, reverse lookup zones are often
used by anti-spam systems in countering spam and
by monitoring systems when logging events or issues.
To create a reverse lookup zone:

STEPS TO CREATING A PRIMARY REVERSE LOOKUP ZONE

1. On the DNS MMC, right-click the Reverse

Lookup Zones node and choose New Zone .

zone is selected and click Next .
