Troubleshooting Problem:
Login Class301, and look at Network Neighborhood. There is no file and print sharing on
my computer which now only currently is running NT Server and Windows 98. That is
why my machine does not show up on the Network Neighborhood.
IN CLASS EXERCISE:
Question:
Create a new folder on an NTFS Partition called LAB
Permissions with Domain User Account = R on all files in the folder and
modify or delete files that does not belong to them.
Users should be able to put files in this folder, users should also be allowed
to modify or delete files that they put, in. HINT: The Creator Owner Theory.
How to:

Why would you make a Windows NT Server to FAT:
Simply make it as FAT and convert it to NTFS later for security purposes.
If in Windows NT Server 4.0:
This is a good type of system design, suggested by Mr. E.
C: FAT 16 is 500Mg - boot sector
- boot.ini
If this area gets corrupted, it will be easier to fix up, because it is small, and it is FAT. Ensure
you have an up-to-date boot-up diskette, and recovery diskettes.
NOTE: In Windows NT 4.0 NTFS you cannot recover if a driver is missing. You cannot have
access to command prompt. Also, the boot diskette will not help you! Reinstall if the kernel is
broken.

Windows 2000P uses true multi-tasking. With 2000P if you encrypt, even if you have FC
you can take ownership.
With Windows 2000P there is no promoting of the BDC, and there is no BDC at all. Any Server can
authenticate a user logon, but no promoting and demoting goes on. But, there is lots of redundancy so
the servers have the databases.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION TO WINDOWS 2000
Lesson 1:
Windows 2000 Professional has family of products:
· Windows 2000 Professional
· Windows 2000 Server
· Windows 2000 Advanced Server
· Windows 2000 Datacenter Server.
WINDOWS 2000 OVERVIEW:
Windows 2000 is a multipurpose operating system with integrated support for client/server and
peer-to-peer networks. It incorporated technologies that reduces the total cost of ownership
(TCO) and provides for scalability from small network to a
large enterprise network. Total
cost of ownership is the total amount of money and time associated with purchasing computer
hardware and software, and deploying, configuring and maintaining the hardware and software.
One other major factor in TCO is lost productivity. Lost productivity can occur because of
many factors, errors, hardware problems or software upgrades and retraining.
The Windows 2000 platform consists of the following four versions:
Windows 2000 Professional. This product is high-performance, secure-network client
computer and corporate desktop operating system that includes the best features of
Microsoft Windows 98.
Windows 2000 Server.
This product is a file, print and application server, as well as a
Web-server platform. It is ideal for small to medium sized enterprise application deployments.
Windows 2000 Advanced Server (formerly Windows NT Server
5
It is a more powerful departmental and application server,
and it also provides a rich network
operating system (NOS) and Internet Services.
Windows 2000 Datacenter Server. This a new product is the most powerful
and functional
server operating system ever offered by Microsoft. Optimized for large warehouses,
econometric analysis, large-scale simulations in science and
engineering, and server consolidation projects.
=====================================================================

Lesson 2:
Windows 2000 Professional improves the capabilities of earlier versions of Windows in these areas:
ease of use, simplified management, increased hardware support, enhanced file management, and
enhanced security features.
Ease of Use and Enhancements:
Customized Start Menu. Personalized Menus can be activated to keep track of the programs you
use and to update the Programs menu so that it presents only the programs that you use most often.
Log on and Shut Down dialog boxes. The Log on and Shut Down dialog boxes are easier to use
with fewer, better organized choices.
Task Scheduler. The enhanced Tasks Scheduler allows users to schedule scripts and programs to
run at specific times.
NOTE: Windows 2000 P supports the latest laptop technologies based on Advanced Power
Management (APM) and Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI), which turns off
power to the display and hard disks after a period of inactivity, and allows you to change or remove
devices without turning off the computer.
ACPI also lengthens the battery life.
Features in WINDOWS 2000 P for
Network Connection Wizard. Consolidates all of the processes for creating network
connections. Users can now set up the following networking features from one wizard:
dial-up connections to a private network or to the Internet, virtual private network (VPN)
connections through the Internet to a private network, incoming calls, and direct
connections to another computer.
Virtual Private Network Support. Secure access to corporate networks from off-site
locations by using a local Internet service provider (ISP) rather than using a long distance,
dial-up connection.
Offline Folders. Allows you to copy documents that are stored on the network to
your local computer, making it easier to access data when you aren’t connected to
the network
.
Synchronization Manager. Compares items on the network to items that you opened
or updated while working offline. Synchronization occurs when you log on, and any
changes made offline to the files and folders.
Printing Support:
Printing in Windows 2000 P has been improved to assist you in providing a more flexible
network of printers. It includes the following features:
=====================================================================
winpro1.html PAGE
14 2001/12/06
· Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). Allows users to send documents to any printer on a
Microsoft Windows 2000 network that is connected to the Internet. Internet printing
enable users to the following:
1. Print to a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) over an intranet or the Internet.
2. View printer and job-related information in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
format from any browser.
3. Download and install printer drivers over the Internet.
· Add Printer Wizard. Simplifies the process of connecting to local and network printers
from within a program.
· Image Color Management (ICM) 2. Allows you to send high-quality color documents to
a printer or another computer with greater speed and reliability then ever before. ICM 2 is
an operating system API that helps ensure that the colors you see on your monitor match
those on your scanner and printer.
Simplifies Management
Windows 2000 P has the following enhancements:
Add/Remove Programs wizard. Simplifies the process of installing and removing
programs. Users can install applications by pointing directly to a location on the
corporate network or Internet.
Windows Installer Service. Manages
application installation, modification, repairs,
and removal.
Troubleshooting Tools:
Windows 2000 P includes diagnostic and troubleshooting tools that make it easier to support
the operating system. There are:
Compatibility Tool. Detects and warns the user about whether certain installed applications or
components will cause an upgrade to fail, or whether the components won’t work after an
upgrade is complete.
/checkupgradeonly
Troubleshooters. Online help as troubleshooting wizards that can be used to solve many
common computer problems.
=====================================================================
winpro1.html PAGE
15 2001/12/06
Increased Hardware Support
Windows 2000 P supports 7,000 hardware devices, such as infrared devices, scanners, digital
cameras, and advanced multimedia devices that Windows NT Workstation 4 did not support.
They are:
Add/Remove Hardware Wizard. Add, remove and troubleshoot, and upgrade computer
peripherals.
Win32 Driver Model (WDM). Provides a common model for device drivers across Windows
98 and Windows 2000. Drivers that are written to the WDM will work in both Windows 98
and Windows 2000.
Plug and Play support. Enhances previous Plug and Play functionality and allows automatic and
dynamic reconfiguration, loading of appropriate drivers, registration for device notification
events, and changeable and removable devices.
Power Options. Prevents unnecessary power drains on your system and allows two modes,
standby, where your monitor is turned off, and hibernation, turns off your monitor and hard
disk, saves everything in memory and turns off your computer. When you restart your
computer, your desktop is restored exactly as you left it.
Symmetric Multiprocessing
Windows 2000 is a multiprocessing operating system capable of running on computers containing
more than one processor. Windows 2000 P provides symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) system
capabilities and supports two processors.
The design of Windows 2000 also supports processor affinity, whereby a process or thread can
specify that it is to run on a particular set of processors.
Windows 2000 uses the same rules for scheduling on a multiprocessor system as it does on a
single-processor system. Therefore, at any given time, the threads that are ready and have the
highest priorities are actually running.
Asymmetric Multiprocessing
Processors are different. They might address different physical memory spaces, or they
might have other discrepancies. These operating systems run only certain processes on
certain processors.
=====================================================================

16 2001/12/06
Enhanced File Management:
There are several enhancements to Windows 2000 P, and they are:
NTFS File system. Supports file encryption and enables you to add disk space to an NTFS
volume without having to restart the computer.
FAT32 file system. Supports FAT32 file system for compatibility with Windows 95 OEM
Service Release (OSR) 2 systems and later. FAT32 is an enhanced version of the FAT file
system for use on disk volumes larger than 2GB.
Disk Defragmenter Utility. Rearranges files, programs and unused space on your computer’s
hard disk to that programs run faster and files open more quickly.
Backup Utility. Helps to protect data from accidental loss because of hardware or storage
media failure. You can backup to tape drives, external hard disk, zip disks, recordable
CD-ROMs and logical drives.
Volume mount points. Allows you to connect or mount a local drive at any empty folder
on a local NTFS-formatted volume.
Enhanced Security Features:
Windows 2000 Professional is the most secure Windows Desktop operating system for either
a stand-alone computer or any type of public or private network.
Kerberos 5. Supports single logon, allowing faster authentication and faster network response.
Kerberos 5 is the primary security protocol for domains in Windows 2000.
Encrypting File System (EFS). Strengthens security by encrypting files on your hard disk so
that no one can access them.
Internet Protocol Security IPSec. Encrypts Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
TCP/IP traffic to secure communications within an intranet and provides the highest level of
security for VPN traffic across the Internet.
Smart card support. Enable portability of credential and other private information between
computers at work, home or on the road.

Lesson 3:
Workgroups and domains:
Windows for Workgroups
A Windows 2000 workgroup is a logical grouping of networked computers that share resources,
such as files and printers. A workgroup is referred to as a peer-to-peer network because all
computer in the workgroup can share resources as equals, or as peers, without a dedicated
server.
A local security database is a list of user accounts and resource security information for the
computer the database is on. Therefore, when on a workgroup, security is decentralized.
Because workgroups
have decentralized administration and security:
a new user account on each computer in the workgroup.
A Windows 2000
workgroup provides the following advantages:
information or SAM.
NOTE: In a workgroup, a computer running Windows 2000 Server is called a stand-alone server.
Windows 2000 Domains:
=====================================================================
winpro1.html PAGE
18 2001/12/06
A windows 200 domain is a logical grouping of network computers that share a central directory
database. A directory database contains user accounts and security information for the domain.
This directory database is known as the Directory and is the database portion of Active Directory
directory services, which is the Windows 2000 directory services.
NOTE: You can designate only a computer running Windows 2000 Server, windows 2000
Advanced Server, or Windows 2000 Datacenter as a domain controller. If all computers on
the network are running Windows 2000 Professional, the only type of network available is a
workgroup.
Benefits of a domain are as follows:
print, and application.
A typical Windows 2000 domain has the following types of
computers:
Domain Controllers running Windows 2000 Server. Each domain controller stores and maintains
a copy of the Directory.
Member Servers running Windows 2000 Server. A member server is a server that isn’t configured
as a domain controller. A member server doesn’t store Directory information and can’t
authenticate users.
Client computers running Windows 2000 Professional. Client computers run a user’s desktop
environment and allow the user to gain access to resources in the domain.
Lesson 4:
Logging on to Windows 2000
This is a mandatory process, and ensures that only valid uses can gain access to resources
and data on a computer or the network.
Log on Locally:
Windows 2000 authenticates users who either log on locally to the computer at which they
are seated or log on to a domain.
=====================================================================
winpro1.html PAGE
19 2001/12/06
A user can log on to either of the following:
The user selects the computer name in the Log on to Box in the enter Password dialog box.
NOTE: Domain controllers don’t maintain a local security database. Therefore, local user
accounts aren’t available on domain controllers, and a user can’t log on locally to a domain
controller.
Windows 2000 Authentication Process:
When logging on locally, follow these steps:
The users logs on with a User Name and Password
The Windows 2000 compares the logon information with the user information that is in the local
security database.
If the information matches and the user account is valid, Windows 2000 creates an access token
for the user. The access token contains the users security settings.
Lesson Summary:
When a user logs on, he or she can log on to the local computer, or if the computer is a member
of a domain, the user can log on to the domain. The authentication process for logging on locally
and logging on to the domain is similar. However, when a user logs on locally, the local computer
performs the authentication, and when a users logs on to a domain, a domain controller must
perform the authentication.
Lesson 5:
The Window Security Dialog Box
** KNOW THIS**
You access the Windows Security dialog box by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete. You can lock
you computer (if away for lunch), change your password, to log off your computer, shut
down and access Task Manager, and Cancel as a way out.
