How to Install Windows NT Server
Installation of Windows NT Server
|
1. If you've set up your computer as suggested in the introduction, you should have these component icons when you open My Computer. You may have some minor differences, but at a minimum you should find floppy drive A:, hard disk C:, and CD ROM drive E: We've partitioned our hard disk so that we can install NT on drive D. If other letters are assigned to your hard disk or CD ROM, be sure to adjust accordingly for all setup choices. |
|
|
2. When you insert the Windows NT CD ROM, it will automatically bring up the setup window. If you don't see this, double click on the CD ROM. Press the Windows NT Setup button. |
|
|
3. You must confirm the location of your Windows NT setup files. On our machine, the CD Rom is in drive E. Press Enter to continue. |
|
|
4. Setup will take quite a while to copy files to your hard disk (Ten minutes or more). Once it is complete, press enter to leave setup and then restart your computer. |
|
|
5. When the computer restarts, you will be in a dual-boot configuration and it will allow you to select which system to start. Use the arrow keys to select Windows NT 4.0 Installation/Upgrade. |
|
|
6. The setup process will continue and you will be asked to confirm a number of hardware-related settings.
If you don't convert your hard disk partition to NTFS File System when you install Windows NT, you can do so at any time by using the CONVERT command. To make full use of your NT server, you will need to convert to NTFS. Such basic functions as security, file sharing, and Internet services will function only from an NTFS partition. Caution: converting to NTFS is a one-way process! DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95 will not be able to run on or read a disk partition formatted with NTFS. This means you should plan accordingly, but do be sure to proceed with the conversion.
When you restart, the disk partition will be converted to NTFS without any intervention. After all the options are set, Windows NT setup will finish copying files and restart again. |
|
|
Run
|
7. When the computer restarts, you will again be allowed to select which system to start. Use the arrow keys to select Windows NT Server Version 4.0 |
|
|
8. You will be placed in Windows NT Setup and asked to finish setting up the remainder of the Windows NT configuration. Part One is information about your computer.
Part Two is information about your network.
Part Three is the configuration of your computer.
Finally, setup will copy more files, complete the configuration, and ask you to restart your computer. Congratulations! You now have a working Windows NT Server! |
If you didn't install the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) when you installed Windows NT, you can install it at a later time. The Windows NT Setup process will leave an Install Internet Information Server icon on the desktop. If the icon is not present, you can run D:\WINNT\System32\inetins.exe
Once you have NT installed and working, you might want to visit the Microsoft Internet Information Server Page to download and install the lastest version of the IIS and any available add-ons.

How to Install windows 2000 server
Windows 2000
Pro/Server Install
Introduction:
Windows 2000 installation can be simple and straightforward.
Unfortunately, our shared lab environment requires that we take additional steps to ensure that each student derives the maximum benefit from the installation lab. To achieve this end, we have assembled these directions to ensure successful installation.
Failure to adhere to these directions will likely result in a disaster of epic proportions
Keep in mind that the directions are not a substitute for thought, and as you follow them, you ought to ask your instructor to explain directions that are unclear or are not intuitive.
There may be differences in the directions depending on which OS you are installing (Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2000 Pro). The differences will be illustrated clearly.
1) Boot Windows 98
2) Click Start - Shutdown - Restart in MS-DOS Mode
3) When the system reboots, you will see a DOS prompt (c:\>)
4) At this prompt, type the following
if you are installing Windows 2000 Pro:
cd\w2kpro
dir *.exe
winnt /s c:\w2kpro
if you are installing Windows 2000 Server:
cd\w2kserv
dir *.exe
winnt /s c:\w2kserv
5) Follow the on screen instructions until you are prompted to restart the computer.
6) The computer will reboot and automatically enter the Windows 2000 setup. You will be prompted to "Press Enter to setup Windows 2000"
7) Press the 'F8' key to accept the End User License Agreement (EULA). This lab is licensed for 25 simultaneous copies of Windows 2000 Server and unlimited copies of Windows 2000 Pro. It is important that we do not abuse this license agreement by using the software outside the lab.
8) This step needs to be performed only if another instance of Windows 2000 is present on the machine.
If this is NOT the first Windows 2000 install on the machine, then you will be prompted to repair an install.
Press 'ESC' key to get the option to install in a different directory.
Choose 'Clean Install'.
9) You must now choose the partition that is reserved for your class for the installation.
Your answer will be dependent upon which instructor you have for NOS.
For example, if you are a student in Dave Clauss's NOS class, you will select the partition labeled 'Clauss'.
!!!!!!!!!!DO NOT INSTALL ON THE c:win95 PARTITION!!!!!!!!!!
10) Convert the partition to NTFS - Press 'C' to convert or ESC to change your mind.
Setup will now copy files to the correct install folders.
The computer will reboot when finished copying.
When the computer reboots, it will automatically load your installation of Windows 2000.
Upon boot, the computer will convert the file system to NTFS
11) Windows 2000 will now finish setting up. - Click 'Next' when prompted and allow Windows 2000 to detect and install devices.
12) Windows 2000 will prompt you for your Name and Company Name. If you want to get creative here, feel free, otherwise, enter 'Networking Lab' for name and 'TVI' for company.
13) When prompted for your product key, type the following
If you are installing Windows 2000 Pro:
WC3C6-37C3B-KJXKR-DBXCC-QT878
If you are installing Windows 2000 Server:
J6CVM-3GCQ2-PDCB3-WB8XY-C4WMG
14) When prompted for Computer Name, enter the first letter of your instructors name + the TVI Inventory number of the computer
(The label can be found on the right hand side of the Dell system).
For example, if your instructor is Vargas and the blue inventory label reads 738715, enter V738715 for Computer Name
For the password, enter the semester and four-digit year in lowercase letters.
Computers that do not conform to this standard WILL BE ERASED
For example, if you are taking NOS in the fall of 2001 enter 'fall2001' as your password.
15) If you are prompted for components to install (Windows 2000 Server), deselect IIS and Indexing Service. Leave all other settings unchanged and click 'next'.
16) Set Time Zone to Mountain. If this is a server install, select 5 as the number of client connections
17) Next, you will configure the network. Select 'Typical Settings'
(This option includes Client for Microsoft Networks, TCP/IP, and File and Printer Sharing).
18) When prompted for Workgroup or Computer Domain, Select, "No, this computer is not on the network, or is on a network without a domain controller.
Enter TVINORTH as your workgroup.
19) If you are installing Windows 2000 Server, do the following:
Wait while setup finishes installing. - Click finish when prompted.
20) If you are installing Windows 2000 Pro, do the following:
Select "Users must log into this machine" - next - finish
21) When the computer reboots, you must log in using the username 'Administrator' and the password '<season><four digit year>' that was entered previously.
22) Next, we will set the default OS back to Microsoft Windows.
To do this, right click on the 'My Computer' Icon and left click on the 'Properties' option.
In the new window that appears, click on the advanced tab.
Click the button labeled 'Startup and Recovery'.
Change Default OS value to "Microsoft Windows" using the pull down list.
Click OK - OK
23) This final set of steps are perhaps the most difficult, and the most important. In this step, our objective is to label our installation of Windows 2000 in the boot.ini file to avoid confusion among the many installs of Windows 2000 in various sections of NOS
To complete this step, do the following.
i. Click start - run
ii. type cmd and press enter
iii. In the DOS window, type the following:
1. c:
2. cd\
3. attrib -s -h -r boot.ini
4. edit boot.ini
24) At this point, you should be looking at a blue screen with the contents of your boot.ini file. If not, alert your instructor that you need help.
Once inside the editor, use the arrow keys to position your cursor before the text that reads "Microsoft Windows 2000 Server". Insert your instructors name and a dash at that point.
When finished, the text should read:
"Clauss - Microsoft Windows 2000 Server" if your instructor is Clauss,
"Hart - Microsoft Windows 2000 Server" if your instructor is Hart, or
"Vargas - Microsoft Windows 2000 Server" if your instructor is Vargas.
25) Once your instructor has verified the text, press the ALT + F key, then press S for Save.
Next, Press ALT + F, then press X for Exit.
26) Back at the dos prompt, type the following:
Attrib +s +h +r boot.ini
exit
26) Reboot the machine and select your installation (ie "Clauss - Microsoft Windows 2000 Pro") within 30 seconds after being prompted.
27) If the machine successfully boots, log in as administrator and have you instructor verify your installation.
