ICT 10 (Quarter 4, Week 3)

Server

A server is a computer that provides data to other computers. It may serve data to systems on a local area
network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) over the Internet.

Types of Servers

Servers are often categorized in terms of their purpose. A few examples of the types of servers available are
as follows:

1. A web server is a computer program that serves requested HTML pages or files. In this case, a web browser
acts as the client.
2. An application server is a program in a computer in a distributed network that provides the business logic for
an application program.
3. A proxy server is software that acts as an intermediary between an endpoint device, such as a computer,
and another server from which a user or client is requesting a service.
4. A mail server is an application that receives incoming emails from local users -- people within the same
domain -- and remote senders and forwards outgoing emails for delivery.
5. A virtual server is a program running on a shared server that is configured in such a way that it seems to
each user that they have complete control of a server.
6. A blade server is a server chassis housing multiple thin, modular electronic circuit boards, known as server
blades. Each blade is a server, often dedicated to a single application.
7. A file server is a computer responsible for the central storage and management of data files so that other
computers on the same network can access them.
8. A policy server is a security component of a policy-based network that provides authorization services and
facilitates tracking and control of files.
9. A database server is responsible for hosting one or more databases. Client applications perform database
queries that retrieve data from or write data to the database that is hosted on the server.
10. A print server provides users with access to one or more network-attached printers -- or print devices as
some server vendors call them. The print server acts as a queue for the print jobs that users submit. Some
print servers can prioritize the jobs in the print queue based on the job type or on who submitted the print job.
Network Server Setup: Installation and Configuration

Phase 1: Collecting Information


In the first installation phase, the setup program asks for the preliminary information that it needs to
begin the installation.
A setup wizard prompts you for the following information:
● Language: Select your language, time-zone, and keyboard type.
● Product Key: Enter the 25-character product key that came with the installation media. If setup says
you entered an
invalid product key, double-check it carefully. You probably just typed the key incorrectly.
● Operating System Type: The setup program lets you select Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition
or Core. Choose
Standard Edition to install the full server operating system; choose Core if you want to install the new
text-only version.
● License Agreement: The official license agreement is displayed. You have to agree to its terms to
proceed.
● Install Type: Choose an Upgrade or Clean Install type.
● Disk Location: Choose the partition in which you want to install Windows.
● Upgrade to NTFS: If you want to upgrade a FAT32 system to NTFS, you will need to say so now.

Phase 2: Installing Windows


In this phase, Windows setup begins the actual process of installing Windows. The following steps are
performed in sequence:
● Copying Files: Compressed versions of the installation files are copied to the server computer.
● Expanding Files: The compressed installation files are expanded.
● Installing Features: Windows server features are installed.
● Installing Updates: The setup program checks Microsoft’s website and downloads any critical updates
to the operating
system.
● Completing Installation: When the updates are installed, the setup program reboots so it can
complete the installation.

Configuring Your Server

The following list describes the server configuration settings available from this wizard:
● Set the Administrator Password: The very first thing you should do after installing Windows is set a
secure administrator
password.
● Set the Time Zone: This is necessary only if the indicated time zone is incorrect.
● Configure Networking: The default network settings are usually appropriate, but you can use this
option to change the
defaults if you wish.
● Provide Computer Name and Domain: This option lets you change the server’s computer name and
join a domain.
● Enable Automatic Updating: Use this option if you want to let the server automatically check for
operating system
updates.
● Download and Install Updates: Use this option to check for critical operating system updates.
● Add Roles: This option launches the Add Roles Wizard, which lets you configure important roles for
your server.
● Add Features: This option lets you add more operating system features.
● Enable Remote Desktop: Use this option to enable the Remote Desktop feature, which lets you
administer this server
from another computer.
● Configure Windows Firewall: If you want to use the built-in Windows firewall, this option lets you
configure it.
