Classroom setup instructions

Before you teach this course, you need to perform the following steps to set up a classroom server and each student computer. The steps to configure the classroom server take a considerable amount of time. We recommend that after you set up your classroom server the first time, you use your choice of computer imaging software to create an image of the classroom server for subsequent class setups.

Note that although the setup instructions were tested during the development of this course, the steps can be affected by changes that Microsoft and other software vendors make in the software and provide through updates.

Setting up the classroom server

You will be configuring a small-scale SharePoint deployment with Active Directory and the e‑mail and database servers installed in separate virtual machines on a single host computer. SharePoint Foundation will be installed on the same VM as the database server. Our steps use Oracle’s VirtualBox. Your steps will vary slightly if you are using another virtualization program.

Alternatively, you can skip the virtual machine steps and set up each server on its own physical computer. Note: At the time of this writing, Exchange Server 2010 SP1 and SharePoint Foundation 2010 were not compatible to reside on the same physical computer.

1 Install your host operating system and a virtual computer simulation program, such as VirtualBox, according to the software manufacturers’ instructions.

2 Create a Windows 2008 (64-bit) virtual machine called SPFBasicADDC.

· Assign the VM 2 GB (2048 MB) of RAM.

· Create a new hard disk.

· Use dynamically expanding storage.

· Assign 40 GB of disk space.

· Enable Bridged Networking. (Within VirtualBox, select the virtual machine and click Settings. On the left, select Network. From the Attached to list, select Bridged Adapter. Click OK.)

3 Start the SPFBasicADDC VM and install Windows Server 2008 according to the software publisher’s instructions. Use the following variables:

· Enter an Administrator password of !pass1234.

· Set your time zone and correct the time, if necessary.

· When configuring networking, choose the Work location.

· Assign the server a static IP address on your classroom subnet.

· Assign the address of a DNS server in your network.

· Use Windows Update to download and install Windows Server 2008 updates.

· Assign a computer name of SPFBasicADDC.

· In Initial Configuration Tasks, check “Do not show this window at logon.”

· In Server Manager, click Configure IE ESC and turn off IE ESC for administrators.

4 When the installation process is complete, use Device Manager to ensure that all devices are functioning correctly. You might have to download and install drivers for devices listed with a yellow question-mark icon.

5 Modify the server’s DNS server address to its own static IP address.

6 Use Server Manager to add the Active Directory Domain Services role.

7 Run dcpromo.exe. Use the following variables:

· Create a new domain in a new forest.

· Enter SPFBasic.class as the FQDN of the forest root domain.

· Choose the Windows Server 2008 forest functional level.

· Allow the wizard to install and configure the DNS server.

· Click Yes to confirm that you understand that reliable name resolution will not occur outside the SPFBasic.class domain.

· Accept the default database, log files, and SYSVOL folders.

· Enter !pass1234 as the Directory Services Restore Mode Administrator password.

8 Enable network discovery and file sharing.

9 Use Active Directory Users and Computers to create a user account in the SPFBasic.class Active Directory domain for each student and the instructor.

· Name each student user account student##, where ## is a number assigned to each account starting with 01.
Create a user account called instructor for the classroom instructor.

· Set a password of !pass1234 on these accounts.

· Clear “User must change password at next logon.”

· Check “User cannot change password” and “Password never expires.”

Installing the 64-bit version of Exchange Server 2010, Standard Edition, with SP1

1 Create a Windows 2008 (64-bit) virtual machine called SPFBasicExchange.

· Assign the VM 2 GB (2048 MB) of RAM.

· Create a new hard disk.

· Use dynamically expanding storage.

· Assign 50 GB of disk space.

· Enable Bridged Networking. (Within VirtualBox, select the virtual machine and click Settings. On the left, select Network. From the Attached to list, select Bridged Adapter. Click OK.)

2 Start the SPFBasicExch VM and install Windows Server 2008 according to the software publisher’s instructions. Use the following variables:

· Enter an Administrator password of !pass1234.

· Set your time zone and correct the time, if necessary.

· When configuring networking, choose the Work location.

· Assign the server a static IP address on your classroom subnet.

· Assign the address of the AD DC as the DNS server.

· Use Windows Update to download and install Windows Server 2008 updates.

· Assign a computer name of SPFBasicExch and join the SPFBasic.class domain.

· When you log back on, log on as spfbasic.class\administrator.

· In Initial Configuration Tasks, check “Do not show this window at logon.”

· In Server Manager, click Configure IE ESC and turn off IE ESC for administrators.

· Enable network discovery and file sharing.

3 Use Server Manager to add all roles for the Web Server (IIS).
