Professional Windows Server 1002003 Security A Technical Reference [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

If you join a workgroup during Setup, you can always join a domain
later. (See

Domain earlier in this chapter for
how to join a computer to a domain.) For example, if a domain
controller isn't available for some reason, install
WS2003 as a standalone server that is part of a workgroup (any
workgroup will do). When a domain controller becomes available, you
can join the domain to become a member server in that domain.

If you create a computer account using Active Directory Users and
Computers prior to installing WS2003 on your machine, you need to use
the computer name you specified for this account when you are
performing the installation, or it will not succeed.

In addition to the installation methods described earlier,
administrators of enterprise-level networks can also perform
simultaneous installations on multiple servers using push
technologies such as Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS).

If there is no DHCP server available on the network when you install
Setup, an IP address is assigned to your machine using Automatic
Private IP Addressing (APIPA). See

TCP/IP later
in this chapter for more information.

If after installing WS2003 you get a message saying
"Failure of dependency service to
start," then you may have made a mistake in
specifying your networking settings (adapter and protocol). Check
also that your computer name is unique to the network.

If you need to do a complete reinstall of WS2003 on a wiped machine
using the same computer name as the old installation, be sure to
delete and recreate the computer account, first using Active
Directory Users and Computers.

Besides being used to create new answer files from scratch, Setup
Manager can also be used to modify existing answer files by
specifying the file and then walking through all the steps of the
wizard, altering your previous selections.

You can also create and edit answer files and UDB files using Notepad
or some other simple text editor, but this is not recommended, as any
formatting errors may result in Setup failing to complete properly.

When using

Sysprep to prepare a computer for
cloning, you must ensure that:

• Both computers use the same type of mass storage controller (IDE or
  SCSI).

• The hard disk on the target computer is at least as large as that on
  the master computer.

• Drivers for any Plug and Play devices on the target machines are
  available. (These devices don't have to be the same
  on both machines, but it helps.)

• Both computers have the same BIOS version (recommended).

Many programs have their own installation utilityif so, use
this utility instead of Add/Remove Programs to install, uninstall, or
add/remove components of the program.

You must be logged on as an Administrator to install or remove
optional Windows components.

When you run Add or Remove Programs during a Remote Desktop session
as Administrator, it installs program files into the

%SystemRoot% path instead of the

%homepath% path for the logged-on user. This is
done so that any user who logs on may use the installed program.
