CSS NC 2 - Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Configuration Tutorial

To configure a Windows Server for computer systems servicing students, you need to consider various aspects such as user management, network configuration, security, and resource allocation. Here are some important steps to get you started:

1. Install Windows Server: Install the appropriate version of Windows Server on a dedicated machine or virtual server.

2. Active Directory (AD) Configuration:
a. Set up Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to manage users, groups, and computers.
b. Create an organizational unit (OU) specifically for student computers.
c. Create user accounts for each student and organize them into appropriate groups based on their access requirements.

3. Group Policies:
a. Configure Group Policies to enforce security settings, restrict access to certain resources, and customize user experience.
b. Set policies for screen lock timers, password complexity, and restrictions on software installations.

4. Network Configuration:
a. Configure the server with appropriate IP address settings and DNS configuration.
b. Set up DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to automatically assign IP addresses to student computers.
c. Implement Network Access Protection (NAP) to ensure compliance with network health requirements.

5. File and Print Services:
a. Set up file sharing to provide access to shared resources such as educational materials, assignments, and group projects.
b. Configure print services to allow students to print documents efficiently.

6. Remote Desktop Services:
a. Enable Remote Desktop Services to allow remote access to student computers for troubleshooting or remote learning purposes.
b. Implement Remote Desktop Gateway for secure remote access from outside the network.

7. System Updates and Patch Management:
a. Configure Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to centrally manage and distribute Windows updates to student computers.
b. Schedule regular maintenance windows to install updates and patches.

8. Security:
a. Install and configure antivirus software on the server and student computers.
b. Implement a firewall to secure the network and restrict unauthorized access.
c. Regularly monitor logs and security events to identify and mitigate potential threats.

9. Resource Allocation:
a. Use Group Policies to manage resource allocation, such as limiting CPU or memory usage for specific applications.
b. Implement quotas to manage disk space usage for student profiles or shared folders.

10. Backup and Disaster Recovery:
a. Set up regular backups of important data and system configurations.
b. Test the restore process to ensure data can be recovered in the event of a disaster.

Remember to customize these steps based on your specific requirements and infrastructure. It's also important to keep up with best practices and security updates to ensure a safe and productive environment for students.
