    Microsoft wants administrators of Windows Server 2008 editions (which ships in the usual flavors of Standard, Enterprise, Data Center and Itanium-specific code) to think of the server as playing certain roles. Server roles are aggregated objects that suit commonly thought-of services, such as print services, file sharing, DNS, DHCP, Active Directory Domain Controller and IIS-based Web services. Microsoft has defined 18 roles in all. There's even a minimalist installation called Windows Server Core that can run various server roles (such as DNS, DHCP, Active Directory components) but not applications (like SQL Server or IIS dynamic pages). It's otherwise a scripted host system for headless operations. There's no GUI front end to a Windows Server Core box, but it is managed by a command line interface (CLI), scripts, remotely via System Manager or other management applications that support Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), or by Remote Terminal Services. It's also a potential resource-slimmed substrate for Hyper-V and virtualization architectures. However, Windows Server 2008 natively was initially shipped without the support virtualization, therefore for virtualization; you will need to either download and install SP2 or get hold of the Windows Server 2008 R2. Virtualization and consolidation of servers and apps across your network can offer notable business results, like low hardware, facility and energy costs, simplified management and support and reduced carbon footprint. Windows Server 2008 R2 has built in Hyper-V to virtualize your system resources without the cost of third-party software and Live Migration to move virtual machines with virtually no downtime. Moreover, with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 you can consolidate database servers, meet high availability needs and optimize performance; creating virtual data centers that help you improve hardware utilization and reduce admin expenses. Meanwhile, Microsoft System Center handles your virtual and physical environments across multiple operating systems like Windows, Linux/UNIX, and gives you control over it all from a single pane of glass In this Hands-on Systems Integration Training Lab, we’re going undertake a step-by-step installation, configuration of Windows Server 2008. This project was demonstrated entirely using VMware; however, once you perfect the setup and configuration steps, you can migrate to physical servers to take advantage of the power of Windows Server 2008.

    Introduction
    Microsoft wants administrators of Windows Server 2008 editions (which ships in the usual flavors of
    Standard, Enterprise, Data Center and Itanium-specific code) to think of the server as playing certain
    roles. Server roles are aggregated objects that suit commonly thought-of services, such as print services,
    file sharing, DNS, DHCP, Active Directory Domain Controller and IIS-based Web services. Microsoft has
    defined 18 roles in all.

    There's even a minimalist installation called Windows Server Core that can run various server roles (such
    as DNS, DHCP, Active Directory components) but not applications (like SQL Server or IIS dynamic
    pages). It's otherwise a scripted host system for headless operations. There's no GUI front end to a
    Windows Server Core box, but it is managed by a command line interface (CLI), scripts, remotely via
    System Manager or other management applications that support Windows Management Instrumentation
    (WMI), or by Remote Terminal Services. It's also a potential resource-slimmed substrate for Hyper-V and
    virtualization architectures.

    However, Windows Server 2008 natively was initially shipped without the support virtualization, therefore
    for virtualization; you will need to either download and install SP2 or get hold of the Windows Server 2008
    R2. Virtualization and consolidation of servers and apps across your network can offer notable business
    results, like low hardware, facility and energy costs, simplified management and support and reduced
    carbon footprint. Windows Server 2008 R2 has built in Hyper-V to virtualize your system resources without
    the cost of third-party software and Live Migration to move virtual machines with virtually no downtime.
    Moreover, with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 you can consolidate database servers, meet high availability
    needs and optimize performance; creating virtual data centers that help you improve hardware utilization
    and reduce admin expenses. Meanwhile, Microsoft System Center handles your virtual and physical
    environments across multiple operating systems like Windows, Linux/UNIX, and gives you control over it
    all from a single pane of glass

    In this Hands-on Systems Integration Training Labs, we’re going to undertake a step-by-step installation,
    and configuration of Windows Server 2008. This project was demonstrated entirely using VMware (you
    may also use any other virtual machines like MS VirtualPC, Linux Xen, or VirtualBox from Sun); however,
    once you have perfected the setup and configuration steps, you can migrate to physical servers to take
    advantage of the power of Windows Server 2008.

    Part 1: Install & Configure Windows Server 2008


    Step 1: Install Windows Server 2008
    To install Windows Server 2008, perform the following procedure:
    1. Grab your Windows Server 2008 DVD and insert it into your CD/DVD drive
