Installing Windows 2003 Server
MIS 431 –Rev. Spring 2008
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 2
Installation is Easy!
Do your advance preparations HCL: what hardware components? Which file system Installed NIC Network protocols to install Name of server Active directory design
Setup is a step-by-step Wizard
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 3
Server Hardware Components – check HCL! CPU type & # Type of bus (PCI,ISA) Hard disk and adapter
type (manufacturer and model)
Hard disk capacity CD-ROM drive and
adapter type BIOS boot drive order
(CD, C, A)
Mouse/pointing device
Monitor and video card
Keyboard type Floppy drive type Tape drive and
adapter NIC (mfgr, model,
specs)
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 4
Decisions before Starting
Get current drivers before or have another PC that you can use to download drivers
How to partition the hard drive Which file system (FAT, NTFS) Server name and administrator password Which protocols to install Which licensing method (per server, seat) If the server is a DC, what is domain name
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 5
Decisions .. Partitioning
Decisions Use existing partition? Delete existing partition and create new? Create new partition if non exists?
Size of the partition (MS recommends min 2 GB for partition for system files)
Dual boot machine? Can boot FAT partition with Windows client OS Rest of machine is NTFS with Windows 2003
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 6
Disk Partitioning
Can use DOS FDISK program to partition the FAT area, DOS FORMAT program to format the FAT
Windows 2003 boot loader menu is specified in boot.ini file
[boot loader] … from my home server which uses SCSI timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft
Windows 2003 Server" /fastdetect
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 7
Windows NTFS File System
NTFS is superior! Best security and performance Encryption and file compression (not
available in FAT) Can use FAT now and convert
partition to NTFS later If FAT and <= 2 GB, WS03 uses FAT16
If FAT and > 2 GB, WS03 uses FAT32
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 8
Decisions – server name
Seen in Network Neighborhood (Win 9x) or My Network Places (later versions)
Use short name - easy to type and remember
Make sure name is not already used by another network computer
Name mnemonically, not numerically
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 9
Decisions – Administrator PW
Do Not Forget This Password – ever!!! User name is Administrator and has
access to all of the server’s resources Password tips for this sensitive PW
Up to 14 characters, 10 or more is good Make it difficult to guess!
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 10
Decisions - Protocols
TCP/IP is best – preferred protocol NetBEUI is OK for small networks
without routers May need NWlink if logging in to a
Novell NetWare server; will also need Client Service for NetWare
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 11
Decisions - Licensing
Per server means total # of clients that can be logged on at one time; preferred
Per seat means buying a license for each client computer; may be good if you have one user logging in to multiple servers
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 12
Decisions – Network Server Type
Standalone server – for very small peer to peer networks or when you are bringing a WS03 server into an NT 4.0 network in which it will not act as a DC
Server based network – DC or member server that joins an existing domain Member server belongs to a domain but has not
copy of the active directory and does not replicate nor authenticate logons.
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 13
Installation Options
Types of installation CD-ROM only Floppy disk and CD-ROM (when you cannot boot
from the CD-ROM) Network install Install from an existing operating system Unattended installation (via script)
In each case, run winnt.exe (in DOS) or winnt32.exe (in 32-bit Windows 9x environment) to begin the installation
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 14
Winnt command switches
/? List all switches /e:command executes a command after the Windows
portion of Setup /i:initialization filename specifies a custom initialization
file where install files are found /sdrive:\folder used for path for the installation files other
than the current file /u:scriptfile used in unattended install to specify the
name of the script (answer) file and should be used with /s command

MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 15
Winnt32 command switches
/? Gives all switches /checkupgradeonly creates a report that
tells if PC is compatible with WS03 /s:drive:folder uses a path for installation
files different than the current path /unattend [seconds]:script file used in an
unattended installation to specify name of file containing script for setup

MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 16
CD-ROM Installation
Easiest and best if your computer boots from a CD-ROM
Set BIOS to boot from CD-ROM 1st Insert CD-ROM, restart It will automatically boot from CD and
run Winnt
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 17
Floppy Disk & CD-ROM
Use this if cannot boot from CD-ROM Set BIOS to boot from floppy 1st Insert floppy #1, restart computer It will ask you to insert other three disks,
then the CD-ROM Hint: can make floppy set by running
d:\bootdisk\makeboot.exe or d:\bootdisk\makebt32.exe
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 18
Network Installation
Can install WS03 from a network share on another computer Good if you have a diskless computer or one
without a working CD-ROM drive Also useful if you have a large network and plan
to implement many WS03 servers Requires you to have a working computer
that connects to network Share the server’s drive, open from new server,
run Winnt.exe or Winnt32.exe
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 19
Install from Existing Op System
Requires DOS, Windows 3-1, Windows 9x, or Windows Server already on the server
Use this method to have a dual boot machine or if you want to upgrade to Windows 2003 Server
1st dialog will ask if you want to upgrade to Windows 2003 or do a clean install Clean is much better unless you have a reason
for doing the upgrade
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 20
Unattended Installation
Usually performed as a network install Uses a script file that contains all the
answers to the questions the setup wizard asks
winnt32 /s:\\misnt\i386 /unattend:unattend.txt Uses a share called i386 on MISNT and the
answers in a script file called unattend.txt
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 21
Unattended Install, contd.
Can create a uniqueness database file (UDF) with unique answers for each server (they cannot have same name or IP address, etc)
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 22
Stepping Through Installation
Part 1 – assumes CD-ROM install1. Setup inspects the hardware and asks you to setup
Windows 2003, repair an existing WS03 installation, and to quit Setup
2. Presents licensing agreement – press F83. Scans hard drive for previous installations of
Windows 2003; it offers to repair if it finds.4. Setup determines current partitions. Can install on
existing, delete, or make new partition.5. Choose file system – FAT or NTFS6. Copies lots of files, then reboots into WS03 (remove
CD)
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 23
Setup, contd.
Part 21. Gathers information about the computer’s HW
2. Change regional settings
3. Enter your name and organization
4. Enter product key
5. Choose licensing mode and # CALs
6. Enter computer name and admin PW
7. Select components to install
8. If modem installed, provide dialing information
9. Verify time and date accuracy
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 24
Setup, contd.
Part 2, contd.10. Configures network settings – either typical
or custom where you enter static IP information
11. Specify workgroup name if not joining an existing domain
12. Installs the components you requested13. Remove WS03 CD, restart, and go to work!
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 25
Testing New Server
Logon with Ctrl+Alt+Del Use Administrator username and PW
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 26
Creating ERD
Create one every time you install software, make a server configuration change, install a new adapter, add a NIC, or upgrade the operating system
Can start the Backup Wizard and click the Emergency Repair Disk button
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 27
Troubleshooting Installation
Ensure processor and HW is on HCL Test all HW before installing Windows 2003 Run manufacturer’s diagnostics before
installing Windows 2003 See troubleshooting tips …

MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 28
Installing Service Packs
Back up server and make ERD Download service pack to a folder on
the server www.microsoft.com/windows
Close all active windows Run the service pack file and follow
directions
MIS 431 Installing Windows 2003 Server 29
Uninstalling Windows 2000
Nah…. But it would be a good idea to prepare
a disk image of the boot drive Norton or Symantec Ghost Can be quickly restored if drive is
replaced Then can be more deliberate at restoring
data backups
