~ Lesson 1 ~ Introduction to Windows 7 ~

1 Introduction: Networks, Protocols, LANs & WANs-A networkis a group of computers that are linked together so that they can share resources.

-A shared resource could be data (folders & files), applications (MS Word), andor hard!are (printers &scanners).

-A net!ork is usually made up of clients(computers running a client operating system) and servers (computersrunning a ser"er #S).

-Most clients and ser"ers are connected together "ia some sort of physical cablingsystem.-$ach computer is installed !ith a Network Interace !ard "NI!#that allo!s the computer to send data o"erthe net!ork to other computers.

-%et!orked computers can speak different languages or $rotocols.-When computers on the net!ork speak the sa%eprotocol, they can connect to each other and ha"e acon"ersation.-A computer can use more than one protocol at the same time, i.e. it can be multilingual.-Windo!s ' supports the net!orking protocols *++ and %Wink (+S+).

-A Local Area Network "LAN#is a group of computers linked together in a relati"ely close physical setting,typically !ithin the same building.-A Wide Area Network "WAN#are t!o or more A%s that are connected together o"er great physical distances.

-he nternet or World Wide Web is an e/ample of a WA%.-Multiple corporate offices in different cities that ha"e their computer net!orks connected, is another e/ample.

-WA%s usually use leasedphone lines (from a public phone company) to connect separate offices together.

'ervers and !lients-An operatingsystem is typically %arketedas either a server #S or a client #S.-A server#S allo!s a computer to share its resources !ith many clients, allo!s many users to access theseresources at the same time (by connecting simultaneously o"er the net!ork), and are usually dedicated computersused only to ser"e resources, users generally do not use ser"ers as their desktop system to connect to otherser"ers.

-Microsoft Windo!s Ser"er 0112 is an e/ample of a ser"er operating system.-A client#S allo!s a computer to be a standalone system, to connect to a net!ork and access shared resourceson a ser"er.

-Microsoft Windo!s 7is an e/ample of a clientoperating system.-Windo!s 7, although it is marketed as a client#S, can serve or share resources, i.e. it can act like a

server, but !ould only be used in this capacity in a "ery small net!ork.

( )ow %an* Windows 7 editions are t+ere-here are -%aineditionsof Windo!s ', plus 3edition that is optimi4ed for the ntel Itaniu% processor5 all aremarketed as clientoperating systems.

3- Windo!s ' Starter A budget edition for casual users as !ell as emerging markets5 it is "ery limitedcompared to other editions and does notallo! the ability to 6oin a domain0- Windo!s ' 7ome 8asic A budget edition for home users5 includes a basic set of entertainment features,but does notallo! the ability to 6oin a domain.9- Windo!s ' 7ome +remium $nhanced "ersion that includes a premium set of entertainment features butdoes notinclude the ability to 6oin a domain.


2/18

:- Windo!s ' +rofessional 8asic edition for business users5 includes basic set of management features as!ell as the ability to 6oin a domain.;- Windo!s ' $nterprise $nhanced edition for business users5 includes an e/tended set of managementfeatures and the ability to 6oin a domain.ista #S that hasbeen further optimi4ed.-We !ill be installing and administering the Windo!s ' Proessional edition in this %$301 course.

. )o%egrou$s, Workgrou$s and /o%ains-A Windo!s ' +rofessional system can be a member of a +o%egrou$, workgrou$ or a do%ain.

)o%egrou$-A +o%egrou$ simplifies the sharing of music, pictures, documents and shared de"ices (printers) in a small homeor office net!ork.

-#nly Windows 7computers can participate in a homegroup5 >ista, + and older #Ss cannot.-When your %et!ork ocation is set to )o%e, your computer !ill automatically start looking for other Windo!s 'computers on the net!ork (assuming you ha"e %et!ork ?isco"ery turned #%).

-f you@"e already created a 7omeroup on your net!ork, you@ll ha"e the option to 6oin it, if not, you can createone.

-o createa homegroup, use the %et!ork and Sharing *enter utility.-An initial +o%egrou$$asswordis automatically assigned !hen the homegroup is created, but this can bechanged at any time by any homegroup member.-f the homegroup pass!ord is changed, it must be manually changed on e"ery computer that !ishes tocontinue accessing resources in the homegroup.

-n order to0oinan e/isting homegroup, you must kno! the +o%egrou$ $assword.-f you ha"e configured a shared resource on your computer and allo!ed it to be accessible by the homegroup, thatresource is automatically ad"ertised to and accessible from all the other homegroup systems.

-Shared folders and libraries are ead2nl*by default, so other members of your homegroup can read thedocs, play the music, "ie! the pictures, and so forth, but can@t change them.

-he t!o homegroup sharing permissions a"ailable are ead 2nl*and ead3Write.-n a homegroup, you are still able to share resources to only specific users by assigning permissions.

Workgrou$ (+eer-to-+eer %et!ork)

-Workgroups are generally used in small en"ironments that ha"e up to 14 or4 !orkstations, depending on theWindo!s ' edition.


3/18

-When acting like a server, all editions e/cept Starter and 7ome 8asic allo! 4simultaneous remote net!orkconnections. he 03st computer trying to connect to the computer !ould be denied access.-Starter and 7ome 8asic editions allo! only 14simultaneous remote connections.

-When configured in a !orkgroup, all Windo!s ' computers are considered e5ualsand each system is managedse$aratel*.

-Workgroup computers maintain their o!n local director* database"L//# (also called Security AccountsManager or 'A6database), !hich is a list of the useraccounts(and pass!ords) that can access thecomputer by either logging on locally or remotely o"er the net!ork.

-Workgroup computers donot s+are their directory database and security information!ith other computers inthe !orkgroup.-f a user changes his pass!ord in one computer@s ??, that change !ould ha"e to be mademanuallyseparately on all other computers to !hich the user !ill connect.

-A Windo!s 'ervercomputer can participate in a workgrou$if it is not a domain controller. his type of ser"er iscalled a standaloneser"er.

-hink of a !orkgroup as a label that makes finding a computer easy to find !hen bro!sing the net!ork, for e/.using %et!ork. Bou could ha"e many !orkgroups on a single net!ork, for e/. Accounting, Sales, +ayroll, and

Administration.

/o%ain-A do%ainen"ironment is used for large numbers of computers that reCuirecentralied ad%inistration, security,and access to resources on many ser"ers.

-A do%ainis a logical grouping of domain controllers and other computers that share a central Active

/irector*/atabase(A//), containing the user account and security information for the entire domain.-o create a domain, you must ha"e at least one computer running Windo!s 'erver 448 configured as a do%aincontroller.


4/18

-#n a domain controller, user accounts are not stored in a local directory database but in a centrali4ed Active/irector* /atabase "A//#, that is stored on e"ery do%ain controllerin the domain.

-his A?? database isauto%aticall* re$licated "co$ied3u$dated# to all domain controllers in the domain!hen a change is made in one of the copies.-=sers that log into the domain can ha"e access to all ser"ers in that domain using a singlelogon useraccount, unlike a !orkgroup !here user accounts are decentrali4ed and managed separately on eachcomputer.-f a domain user changes his pass!ord, the change !ill auto%aticall*(!ithout inter"ention) be updated on all

domain controllers in the domain5 making administration for a large domain simple and straight-for!ard.-A Windo!s Ser"er computer can play one of 0 rolesin a domain a do%aincontrollerthat has a copy of thedomainDs A??, or a %e%berserver!hich does not ha"e a copy of the domainDs A??.

-Since e"ery domain controller stores a copy of the domains A??, it can aut+enticateincoming domain logonreCuests.-Member ser"ers do notstore a copy of the domains A??, but ha"e their o!n L//like computers in a!orkgroup.

-Member ser"ers cannotaut+enticatedomain logon reCuests.-Member ser"ers are generally used for dedicateda$$licationser"ers, for e/ample, a !eb ser"er.

-Eor clarification, a member ser"er is a non-domain controller that is a member of a do%ain, a standaloneser"er is a non-domain controller that is a member of a workgrou$.

-#nly Windo!s ' +rofessional, $nterprise and =ltimate editionscan become a member of a do%ain, and once amember, can log into the domain and access its shared resources as a client.-n order to 6oin a do%ainthe follo!ing is reCuired

-/o%ain Na%e he ?%S-compatible domain name of the domain you !ith to 6oin, for e/. neit.edu-!o%$uter Account A domain administrator must ha"e created an account for your computer in thedomain, or if this has not been done, if you ha"e a domain administrator username and pass!ord, you cancreate the account during the installation-A"ailabledo%ain controller and ser"er running the/N' 'ervice At least one domain controller in thedomain must be online !hen you attempt to 6oin the domain-Bou can 6oin a domain during or after the Windo!s ' installation.

9 Logging In-Windo!s ' offers t!o options for logging on locally the Welco%e'creenand the !lassicLogonscreen.

Welcome Screen Classic Logon


5/18

-n a homegroup or !orkgroup, the default is the Welco%escreen, !hich lists all standard and administratoraccounts that ha"e been created in the ??. o log on, click the username@s iconname and enter the user@spass!ord (if one has been assigned).-o force the use of the !lassic Logonscreen you must edit the local security policy and $nable the Interactivelogon: Do not display last user namesetting, !hich !ill disable the Welcome screen.

-Windo!s ' has a ast ;ser 'witc+ing feature that can be used !hen one user is logged into a computer, another

user can log on !ithout reCuiring the current user to log off. (Start F F 'witc+ user)-enerally, there are t!o different types of logons

-Locall* Bou are sitting at the computer@s keyboard and the computer has a local directory database-e%otel*(o"er the net!ork) Bou are notsitting at the computer you are trying to access5 you are sitting ata computer that is connecting to another computer that is sharing resources (acting like a ser"er)

-o log on to a computer running Windo!s ', you must pro"ide a userna%eand $assword.-;ser na%e A uniCue logon name assigned to you by an Administrator5 they are not case-sensiti"e

-Password he pass!ord assigned to your user name5 pass!ords are case
