Windows Based Hosting Version 3.5 (Fundamental)
Fundamental Components
1. Centralized Management (Active Directory)
- Although centralized management is not a required component of a hosting solution, it
nevertheless provides essential services for manageability, scale, and capacity.
All of the hosting scenarios discussed in the solution benefit from a centrally managed
platform build around Active Directory
- Domain Controllers
. We now have multiple Domain Controllers (through Replication)
1) Domains
2) Trees
3) Forests
4) Organizational Units
- Sites : A set of well-connected IP subnets
. Usage : Locationg Servides, Replication, Group Policy Application
. Sites are connected with Site Links
- Global Catalog
. Partial Replica of all Objects in the Forest
. Configurable subset of Attributes
. Fast Forest-wide searches
. Required at Logon for Universal Group Membership
- First Domain Controller (AD01) : fabrikam.com
* IP Address : 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
DNS Server : 127.0.0.1
Before install Second Domain Controller, make sure that you install DNS.
- Second Domain Controller (AD02)
* IP Address : 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 (Must be identical First, Second Domain Controller)
DNS Server : 192.168.1.1 (Must be identical with First Domain Controller)
- Validation test
. To validate that your domain controller is working as specified, run Dcdiag from a
command prompt. Dcdiag was installed as a part of the Windows Server 2003 Support
Tools.
2. Service Provisioning (Microsoft Provisioning Service) (MPS01)
MPS01 server will be a member of fabrikam.com domain
- MPF(Microsoft Provisioning Framework)
- Install IIS
- MPS Database Server (Use the same server with MPS)
. MSSQL 2005 Standard Edition (SQL2000 SP3 recommended)
* Error occured while provisioning tool deployment with SQL2005
So, I installed SQL2000 SP3 again. It works well.
- Deployng MPS
. Very complicated Step. Don't force verify the button on Deployment Tool.
