98-367 Lab Setup Guide
GETTING STARTED
The 98-367 exam in 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 CONFIGURATION
This course should be taught in a lab containing networked
computers where students can develop their skills through handson 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 an instructor computer running
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise and the student
computers running Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate.
While the students will be looking at those services provided by
the instructor computer and his or her local computer, there are no
services that will affect other computers within the school.
Therefore, the computers can exist within the same network as the
other classrooms. In addition, students will need to have access to
the Internet.
Each workstation will be a member of the domain that will be
hosted by the instructor server and the students will need to have
local administrative account called Student and a domain
administrator called StudentXX where XX is the number assigned
to the computer.
Note
For 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
