 WHAT IS SERVER?
• Server is a computer that provides information to other computers called "clients" on
computer network.
• This architecture is called the client–server model. Servers can provide various
functionalities, often called "services", such as sharing data or resources among multiple
clients or performing computations for a client.
• A single server can serve multiple clients, and a single client can use multiple servers.
• A client process may run on the same device or may connect over a network to a server
on a different device.
• Typical servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers,
game servers, and application servers.
WHAT IS SERVER?
CHARACTERISTICS OF A SERVER

• Special purpose application dedicated to providing network service •

Starts automatically at system initialization time (system boot).
• Runs on a remote computer (usually centralized, shared computer)
• Waits for service requests from clients; loops to wait for next request
• Will accept requests from arbitrary clients; provides one service to
each client
• May require powerful hardware and sophisticated operating system
TYPES OF SERVERS
• Servers of different types exist today.
• Several servers can perform multiple jobs, such as hosting websites, sending
and receiving emails, safeguarding internal networks,
TYPES OF SERVER OPERATING SYSTEM
Windows Server - developed the Windows operating system family for
everyday personal use and professional use in servers.
• Windows 2000 Server Windows Server 201x
• Windows Server 202x Windows Server 200x

features of UNIX. It is open-source, available for free, facilitating multi-user,
multi-process, multi-thread operations.
• Ubuntu Server. Fedora.
• Debian Server. OpenSUSE Leap.
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Arch Linux.
 TYPES OF SERVER OPERATING SYSTEM
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) - RHEL is a paid Linux desktop and server
distribution created by Red Hat.
UNIX-Based Operating Systems - In the beginning, UNIX was a time-sharing
operating system for small computers, and over time it has become one of the
most widespread client-server environment operating systems.

WHAT IS ACTIVE DIRECTORY (AD)

• Active Directory (AD) – is Microsoft’s proprietary directory service.

• It runs on Windows Server and enables administrators to manage
permissions and access to network resources.
• Stores data as objects.
• An object is a single element, such as a user, group, application or device
such as a printer.
• Objects are normally define as either resources, such as printers or
computers, or security principals, such as users or groups.
ACTIVE DIRECTORY (AD)
WHEN WE USE ACTIVE DIRECTORY?

• A lot of user
• Need centralize management
• If need policy to organize whole organization
• Control network usage
• When asset need to be control
• When organization need to be collaboration
ACTIVE DIRECTORY ON WINDOWS SERVER 2012
ACTIVE DIRECTORY DOMAIN SERVICE (AD DS)

• Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) – is a server role in Active

Directory that allows admins to manage and store information about
resources from a network, as well as application data, in a distributed
database.
DYNAMIC HOST CONFIGURATION PROTOCOL
(DHCP)

• does not require an administrator to add an entry for a computer

into the database.
• Instead DHCP is “plug-and-play” networking. The computer runs
a client to
• obtain configuration info from DHCP
• obtain a permanent address if the computer is non mobile.
DYNAMIC HOST CONFIGURATION PROTOCOL
(DHCP)
• DHCP uses permanent address that are assigned to
server computers and a pool of addresses that are
allocated on demand.
• Based on the computer’s entry in the server’s database,
the DHCP decides the type of address to assign.
• For dynamic addresses, the computers IP may change
with each boot.
DHCP INTERACTION (SIMPLIFIED)
1. DHCP Process - Discover
A client broadcasts DHCP Discover packets on the local network
segment to discover DHCP servers on the network.
2. DHCP Process - Offer
The server responds to the client with an available IP address.
3. DHCP Process - Request
If a client receives multiple HCP Offer packets, the DHCP client
selects one of them based on the content and responds to it. If the
client has obtained an IP address earlier, it writes the address in
the Requested IP Address field of the Options field in the DHCP
Request packet and sends it to the server.
4. DHCP Process - ACK
After receiving the DHCP Request packet, the server binds the
network address(network and hardware addresses) of the client to
the allocated IP address, and then sends the IP address to the

MANAGE USER ACCOUNTS IN WINDOWS SERVER
 GROUP POLICY IN WINDOWS SERVER
• Group Policy is an infrastructure that enables you to specify managed configurations
for users and computers through Group Policy settings and Group Policy Preferences.
• For Group Policy settings that affect only a local computer or user, you can use the
Local Group Policy Editor.
• Active
Directory Group Policy is a fundamental building block of an enterprise
network.
• Group Policy Objects (GPOs) configure settings, behaviors, and privileges for users
and computers connected to the Active Directory domain.
• Whether you are building a new domain or have an existing domain to manage,
you can follow several group policy best practices to have an efficient deployment.
 GROUP POLICY IN WINDOWS SERVER
1. Removable Media - you can use Group Policy to prevent the use of USB drives, run a certain script when
the system starts up or shuts down, deploy software, or force a particular home page to open for every
Active Directory user in the network.
2. Screen Lockout Time - Enable a lock-out time from inactivity on your domain computers to protect data and
privacy. A generally accepted time is 10 – 15 minutes but can be shorter if need be. Teaching your users to
lock their computers when they are walking away from their desks is great. But a backup plan is always
ideal.
3. Password Policy - Enforcing a strong password policy is critical for the security of your domain.
4. Restrict access - Limit access to the command prompt and PowerShell to prevent commands from being run
by regular user accounts.
5. Limit who can install software - All software should be tested and approved before being installed on a
network. Also, regular user accounts should not be allowed to install software.
6. Turn off forced restarts - If you are using Windows Update, disable automatic restarts when users are
logged on. This will prevent a lot of angry emails and phone calls.
GROUP POLICY IN WINDOWS SERVER
FOLDER REDIRECTION

• Folder Redirection and Offline Files are used together to redirect the path of
local folders, such as the Documents folder, to a network location, while
caching the contents locally for increased speed and availability.
• Roaming User Profiles is used to redirect a user profile to a network location.
These features used to be referred to as Intellimirror.
FOLDER REDIRECTION
Practical applications
• Administrators can use Folder Redirection, Offline Files, and Roaming User Profiles to
centralize storage for user data and settings. These features let users access their data while
offline or in the event of a network or server outage. These features can also accomplish these
specific applications:
• Centralize data from client computers for administrative tasks, such as using a server-based
backup tool to back up user folders and settings.
• Enable users to continue accessing network files, even if there is a network or server outage.
• Optimize bandwidth usage and enhance the experience of users in branch offices who access
files and folders that are hosted by corporate servers located offsite.
• Enable mobile users to access network files while working offline or over slow networks.
 PRINTER DEPLOYMENT IN WINDOWS SERVER
1. Printer Sharing: First, printers need to be shared from a central print server. This server hosts the printer
drivers and configurations, making it easier to manage and distribute printers to users across the network.
2. Printer Drivers: Ensure that appropriate printer drivers are installed on the print server. These drivers should
be compatible with the printer models being deployed and with the operating systems used by client
computers.
3. Group Policy Deployment: Group Policy can be used to deploy printers to users or computers within Active
Directory domains. Administrators can create Group Policy Objects (GPOs) that specify which printers are
deployed to specific users or computers based on organizational units (OUs) or other criteria.
4. Print Management Console: The Print Management console in Windows Server 2012 provides a centralized
interface for managing printers and printer servers. Administrators can use this console to deploy printers,
manage printer drivers, monitor printer usage, and troubleshoot printing issues.
5. Printer Preferences: Administrators can configure printer preferences, such as default printer settings, duplex
printing, and color options, which are then applied to users when they connect to the deployed printers.
PRINTER DEPLOYMENT IN WINDOWS SERVER
 REMOTE IN WINDOWS SERVER
1. In Windows Server 2012, "REMOTE" typically refers to the ability to access and manage
the server remotely. This can be done through various remote access methods and tools
built into the Windows Server operating system, including:
2. Remote Desktop Services (RDS): Windows Server 2012 includes Remote Desktop Services,
which allows users to access the server's desktop remotely. Administrators can configure
RDS to provide remote desktop sessions to users, enabling them to run applications and
access data on the server from remote locations.
3. Remote Management: Windows Server 2012 supports remote management through tools
such as Server Manager, PowerShell, and Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT).
These tools allow administrators to manage server roles, features, and configurations from
a remote computer, without the need to physically access the server.

CREATING BACKUP AND RESTORE IN SERVER 2012
Creating backups and performing restores in Windows Server 2012 involves
utilizing various built-in tools and features to safeguard data and restore it in
case of system failures or data loss. Here's an overview of the backup and
restore process in Windows Server 2012:
• Windows Server Backup: Windows Server 2012 includes Windows Server
Backup, a built-in backup solution that allows administrators to create backups
of critical data, volumes, or the entire server. Windows Server Backup
supports full server backups, as well as individual file and folder backups.
CREATING BACKUP AND RESTORE IN SERVER 2012
• Restore Process: In the event of data loss or system failure, administrators can initiate
the restore process using Windows Server Backup. They can choose to perform a full
server restore, restore specific files and folders, or recover the system state.
• Recovery Options: Windows Server Backup provides several recovery options,
including bare-metal recovery, which allows administrators to restore the entire
server to new hardware in case of hardware failure.
Overall, creating backups and performing restores in Windows Server 2012 involves
using Windows Server Backup and other built-in tools to protect critical data, ensure
business continuity, and recover from system failures or data loss incidents.
CREATING BACKUP AND RESTORE IN SERVER 2012
DEMOTING A WINDOWS SERVER 2012
• Involves removing the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
role from the server. When you demote a server, it essentially
reverts from being a domain controller back to a standalone
server, removing its association with the Active Directory domain.
• Thisprocess is typically performed when you no longer need the
server to function as a domain controller or when you're
restructuring your Active Directory environment.

Internet Protocol, Classes
& Subnet Mask
ALLEN A. LLORCA
 Subnet Mask
 A subnetwork or subnet is a logical subdivision of an IP network.
The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks is
called subnetting.

Divide a network to smaller networks (subnets)

Reasons
Reduce network traffic
Improve network performance
Management
Allocate host bits for subnet bits
Make use of subnet masks
 Subnet Mask

Default Subnet Masks

Class A 255.0.0.0
Class B 255.255.0.0
Class C 255.255.255.0
Number of usable IP addresses
Example of subnet
Subnet Mask Scenario
 The Internet Protocol
Internet Protocol and describes a set of standards and
requirements for creating and transmitting data packets,
or datagrams, across networks.
The Internet Protocol (IP) is part of the Internet layer of the
Internet protocol suite.
In the OSI model, IP would be considered part of the
network layer.
IP is traditionally used in conjunction with a higher-level
protocol, most notably TCP.
 IP versions
Two versions of IP in use today, IPv4 and IPv6.
The original IPv4 protocol is still used today on both the
internet, and many corporate networks.
IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF), and was formalized in 1998. In addition, there
were changes to improve the efficiency of IP packet
headers, as well as improvements to routing and security.
 IPv4 addresses
 IPv4 addresses are actually 32-bit binary numbers
 An IP address is, as such, generally shown as 4 octets of numbers
from 0-255 represented in decimal form instead of binary form.
 For example, the address 168.212.226.204

 An IPv4 address is typically expressed in dotted-decimal notation,

with every eight bits (octet) represented by a number from one to
255, each separated by a dot. An example IPv4 address would look
like this:
IPv4 addresses
 Two parts of IPv4 addresses
 Host: It uniquely identifies a device/machine in the network that we can assign to each
host. It takes 8 bits of the address. The host part will remain the same but the network part
of the IP address will change.
 Network: It uniquely identifies the network and its class. It also takes 8 bits of the address.
 Classification of IP Address
1. Static
 The static IP addresses usually never change but they may vary as a result of network
administration. They are a permanent Internet address that provides a simple and reliable
way for communication.
 The Internet Service Provider (ISP) usages these details to communicate through the
devices. The best examples of Static IP Address is DNS Server(Domain Name Service).
However, Statistic IP Address is less secure in comparison to Dynamic IP Address due to its
assignment.
 Classification of IP Address
2. Dynamic
 When we connect any devices like mobile, computers, etc to the internet then Internet
Service Provider (ISP) provides an IP address from the range of available IP addresses to
the device through which we can connect, send and receive information.
 Next time when we again connect the same device to internet ISP will provide different IP
addresses but from the same available range of IP addresses.
 Since the IP address keeps on changing every time we connect to the internet so such an
IP address is termed as Dynamic IP address. Example of Dynamic IP Address is DHCP
server(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
 Uses and Classes of IP Addresses

Class A address
Class B address
Class C address
Class D address
Class E address
Classes
Classes
 Class A IP Address
 Class A: The IP Address in this class ranges from 0 – 126 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.
 It supports approx.16 million hosts on each of 127 networks.
 Mostly used by Internet Service Providers (ISP)

The first octet, 124, identifies the network number

 Class B IP Address
 Class B ranges from 128 – 191 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.
 It supports approx. 65,000 hosts over each of 16,000 networks.
 Used by medium and large-sized networks in enterprises and organizations.

The first 2 bits of a Class B address are always 10 (one and zero).
 Class C IP Address
 Class C: IP Address ranges from 192 – 223 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
 It has 254 hosts on each of the 2 million networks.
 This class address is most common and used in small business and home networks

The first three octets identify the network number.

Every network that uses a Class C IP address can have assigned up to 28 (minus 2), or 254,
possible IP addresses to devices that are attached to its network
 Uses of IP Address
 To assign Static/Dynamic IP addresses to new devices in a network in
order to have communication.
 Different protocols like DNS, DHCP, etc. work on the concept of IP
Address.
 Proper tracking, security and monitoring of millions of devices in the
network.
 Source routing features which allow the sender of a packet to specify
which route the packet should take on the way to its destination.
 IP Addresses Based Network
 Public: A public IP address is an address assigned to a computing device to allow direct
access over the Internet. An email server, email server and any server device directly
accessible from the Internet are public IP address which is globally unique and can only
be assigned to a unique device.
 Private: Private IP address is assigned to computers within your private space without
letting them directly exposed to the Internet.
For example, if we have multiple computers, mobile devices within your home you may
want to use private IP addresses to address each computer within your home. Private IP
address starts with :
 Network Address Translation (NAT)
 It enables private IP networks that use unregistered IP addresses to connect
to the Internet. NAT operates on a router, usually connecting
two networks together, and translates the private (not globally
unique) addresses in the internal network into legal addresses, before
packets are forwarded to another network.
