Windows 2000 Server

This course will provided you how to know the system administration of Windows 2000 Server and configure interoperability and Web services, manage users and groups, share folders, and manage a distributed file system. We have devided in 6 units as below:

1- About Unit I
2- About Unit II
3- About Unit III
4- About Unit IV
5- About Unit V
6- About Unit VI

Objectives

After completing Windows 2000 Server, the user should be able to:
· Install protocols and services for interoperability with the Novell Netware, Unix, and Apple Macintosh operating systems
· Create local user accounts and local groups
· Activate and deactivate the Server service
· Troubleshoot shared folders
· Modify NTFS permissions
· Configure, manage, and troubleshoot a domain-based Distributed file system (Dfs)
· Set security for and troubleshoot Web sharing

1- About Unit I Top

Windows 2000 Server provides services that allow for interoperation with network operating systems such as Novell NetWare, Apple Macintosh, and UNIX.

For both NetWare and Apple Macintosh, you must first install the appropriate protocol (NWLink or AppleTalk) before you install network services. This isn't an issue for UNIX, which uses TCP/IP.

In this unit, you'll learn how to install the protocols and services needed to communicate with these systems.

2- About Unit II Top

When you make a resource available on the network, you'll want to control who can access
that resource. You create user accounts (users) who have permission to access the various resources
on your system.

It's a lot of work to grant the appropriate permissions to every individual user,
so you can create groups of users who share the same permissions.

In this unit, you'll learn how to establish and manage local users and groups.

3- About Unit III Top

A network allows for the rapid exchange of data electronically through its infrastructure. The network's file server provides a centralized and readily accessible storage location for the data that users need. To provide network access to data, the folders which contain that data need to be shared.

In this unit, you'll learn how to share folders
and how to troubleshoot your sharing setup

4- About Unit IV Top

Share-level permissions apply only to shared folders, not to unshared folders or individual files. You can't apply different levels of security to different files in the same shared folder. Share permissions don't protect a folder if a user has local access to the computer where that folder resides. And share permissions can’t be fine-tuned for individual users or groups.

All these considerations can be addressed through the file- and folder-level security provided by NTFS. In this unit, you’ll learn how to apply NTFS security to your folders and files.

5- About Unit V Top

The Distributed file system (Dfs) provides a single
virtual tree structure for a user browsing your server.
Dfs hides the fact that data is scattered all over your
network on different file servers.

In this unit, you'll learn how to establish and administer both stand-alone and domain-based Dfs.

6- About Unit VI Top

In addition to sharing folders and files over a network, you can use
Web sharing to make them accessible to clients using Web browsers.

Web sharing provides anonymous access to browser users,
allowing them to access folders over an HTTP connection.
To make folders accessible in other ways (such as through Network Neighborhood or drive mapping), you’ll need to use the conventional sharing methods you learned in earlier units.

In this unit, you'll learn how to configure, set security for, and troubleshoot Web sharing
