 THE BARE MENTAL INSTALLATION

What do we mean by “bare metal”?

Two types of Server 2008 installations:

a. Bare Metal - No existing operating system on the
HDD
b. Upgrade - Installing over Server 2008 R2 (or
another operating system) is installer on the HDD

Bare Metal is the simplest installation possible

(recommended by Microsoft as the preferred method)

STEP IN INSTALLING WINDOWS SERVER
R2 ( BARE METAL / CLEAN INSTALL)

Michael U. Mamitag
After booting up from your install disk, you will arrive at a language and
preferences screen. Once you have chosen those options, you get to the
Operating System Selection page. Depending on your license and the purpose
of your server, there are a variety of options to choose from. For our purpose
today, we are going to choose the Standard (Full Installation) version.

Michael U. Mamitag
Read the standard End User License Agreement.

Michael U. Mamitag
Since we’re doing a base install and not an upgrade,
so we choose the Custom (advanced) option.

Michael U. Mamitag
We’ve got a blank 500 GB disk, so we’re just going to
install it there. If you want to create a partition out
of the available drive space or reformat a drive, then
choose Drive options (advanced).

Michael U. Mamitag
Windows will take a little while with your install and
reboot a few times.

Michael U. Mamitag
Once the install
is finished, we’re
prompted to
change our
password before
logging in.

Michael U. Mamitag
Windows requires that you have a strong password,
seven characters long with at least three of the four
following: uppercase letter, lowercase letter,
numeral, or symbol. You’ll want to make sure you
write it down somewhere for now, because if you
forget it later, the entire install will have to be re-
done.
