Frequently asked questions and instructor notes
All our courses assume that each student has a personal computer to use during the class. Our hands-on approach to learning requires that they do. This topic gives information on how to set up the classroom to teach this course.
|
In our experience, you cannot install Exchange, SQL Server, and SharePoint on a single server. Doing so might not be completely impossible, but such a setup will be difficult and is not documented here. |
This course requires two Windows Server 2008 64-bit Edition servers: one that serves as your domain controller and runs the Exchange Server software; and one that runs Windows SharePoint Services and its required components. If you use a computer with sufficient resources, you can use server virtualization software (Hyper-V, VirtualBox, XenServer, VMWare, and so forth) to run two virtual servers on a single physical computer. Due to the complexity and time required to complete the server setup, we recommend that you do one of the following: · Set up the servers, using a virtualization system. After the setup is complete, use your virtualization system’s tools to save “snapshots” of the working servers. · Use a tool such as Acronis TrueImage, Norton Ghost, or CloneZilla to save “images” of your working servers after you have completed the setup. Either of these methods will enable you to revert to those snapshots or images after class, rather than having to set up the entire environment again. |
Hardware requirements
Each classroom server should have:
· A keyboard and a mouse
· At least 1.4 GHz 64-bit processor (2 GHz or faster recommended)
· At least 2 GB RAM (4 GB or greater recommended)
· At least 100 GB hard drive
· A DVD-ROM drive

The instructor computer and each student computer should have:
· A keyboard and a mouse
· At least 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor
· At least 1 GB RAM
· At least 50 GB hard drive with at least 15 GB of available space
· A DVD-ROM drive
· A graphics card that supports DirectX 9 graphics with:
– WDDM driver
– 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum)
– Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware
– 32 bits per pixel
· SVGA monitor
Software requirements
You will need the following software:
· Windows Server 2008 Standard 64-bit Edition with Service Pack 2
· Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Standard Edition

Creating user accounts for students
You will need to create a user account for yourself and for each student in class. Name your account Instructor, and name each student account Student## where ## is a unique number you assign to each account.
During class, students will work in pairs to complete some activities. If you have an odd number of students, you can work with one of the students as his or her partner. If you have an even number of students, you will need a partner user account (though not a computer) to key through the partnered activities. If necessary, create a Student999 account to use as your partner in a class with an even number of students.
