Exercise 2Perform Initial Small Business Server Configuration Tasks

ScenarioWhether you perform a full installation or complete an OEM installation as you did in the previous task, you mustconfigure the server computer to enable the features and services designed to power your small business network.After the server installation is complete, Windows SBS 2003 R2 provides a single interface to perform serverconfiguration tasks. This interface is called the To Do List.The To Do List appears at the end of Setup and assists you in completing the configuration of Windows SBS 2003R2. It guides you through all post-installation tasks necessary to get the network up and running, such asconfiguration and management of the server services, peripheral devices, users, and client computers. The To DoList also includes links to extensive help for all of the steps.In this exercise, you will launch the To Do List and perform the first several tasks outlined.


Complete the following 4tasks on:

SBS 03 R2 RTM

1. Connect to theServer and Start theTo Do List

Network and WebServices

Note: The next task on the To Do List is to connect the small business network to the Internet. Note: SBS 2003 R2 supports many Internet connection methods, including dial-up and high-speed. SBS 2003 R2 also supports the use of one or two network interface cards(NICs). When two NICs are used, SBS 2003 R2 acts as the central point for Internet connections to deliver optimal network performance and to help enforce network security.

Note: Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 is also configured as part of the wizard.SBS 2003 R2 supports a number of alternative methods for accessing e-mail, ranging

from basic SMTP delivery to the use of more sophisticated clients like Microsoft

Outlook Web Access. In addition, mail store size limits in Windows SBS 2003 R2have been increased from 16 GB to 75 GB, so users can work with rich-media mailtypes and document attachments.

Note: Remote Web Workplace enables users to access important features of SBS 2003 R2 when they are away from the office. Using Remote Web Workplace, authorized users can check e-mail and calendars, connect to their computers at work, use shared applications, or access the company's internal Web site.

Note: In this task, you will complete the Configure E-Mail and Internet ConnectionWizard to connect SBS 2003 R2 to the Internet for outbound Web traffic, inbound and outbound e-mail, and remote access services.

Note: The last task in this Lab (not shown in the To Do List) is to configure WindowsServer Update Services (WSUS). WSUS in SBS 2003 R2 is a new feature that centralizes update and patch management services onto one server. It stores the patch

files in its own database, so the patches only have to be downloaded from the Internet once. Instead of each employee downloading software from Windows Update or

Microsoft Update manually on each individuals computer, updates are stored onWSUS and then automatically pushed out to each computer.

Note: Most important, WSUS deploys patches and software updates to computers and servers on your network. WSUS creates a daily report indicating successfullydeployed updates with a green check and detailing which updates may haveadditional installation requirements.

Note: Default settings for WSUS are already optimized for Windows SBS 2003 R2, soconfiguration requires little input.

a. From the Server Management console, click Update Services in the leftnavigation pane. The Manage Update Services page will appear in the right paneof the Server Management console.
