Customization Information This section identifies the lab setup requirements for a module and the configuration changes that occur on student computers during the labs. This information is provided to assist you in replicating or customizing Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) courseware. This module uses a computer-based interactive lab exercise. As a result, there are no lab setup requirements that affect replication or customization. Module 2: Installing and Upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server 1 Overview  Preparing for Windows 2000 Advanced Server  Installing Windows 2000 Advanced Server  Upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Advanced Server is designed to be fully interoperable with existing Microsoft Windows NT ® environments. This interoperability gives you the flexibility to install Windows 2000 in incremental stages, implement specific Windows 2000 services, or upgrade to Windows 2000 at your own pace. Although this module presents the tasks for installing or upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server, these tasks are similar for all of the Windows 2000 server family. At the end of this module, you will be able to:  Describe how to prepare for a Windows 2000 Advanced Server installation or upgrade.  Describe how to install Windows 2000 Advanced Server.  Describe how to upgrade an existing server to Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Slide Objective To provide an overview of the module topics and objectives. Lead-in In this module, you will learn about installing and upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server. 2 Module 2: Installing and Upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server    Preparing for Windows 2000 Advanced Server  Verifying Hardware Requirements  Selecting a Disk Partition Option  Selecting a File System Option  Selecting a Licensing Mode  Identifying the Components to Install Before you install Windows 2000 Advanced Server, you need to decide whether to perform a new installation or upgrade your current operating system. When you perform a new installation, you either overwrite the previous operating system at setup, or you install Windows 2000 Advanced Server on a partition with no previous operating system. When you perform an upgrade, you install Windows 2000 Advanced Server to a partition that currently contains an upgradeable version of Windows NT. An upgrade automatically installs Windows 2000 Advanced Server into the same folder as the currently installed operating system. Before you install or upgrade to Windows 2000 Advanced Server, you need to complete the following tasks:  Verify hardware requirements.  Select a disk partition option.  Select a file system option.  Select a licensing mode.  Identify the components to install. Slide Objective To identify the preparation tasks for installing or upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Lead-in It is important to understand the preparation tasks before you install or upgrade to Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

Component Requirements CPU Pentium 133 megahertz (MHz) or higher. Supports up to 8 CPUs on one computer. Memory 128 megabytes (MB) (256 MB recommended and a maximum of 8 gigabytes [GB] supported). For computers with more than 4 GB, check the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). Hard disk One or more hard disks with a minimum of 1 GB of free hard disk space. More space may be required depending on the number of components being installed, the file system used and the method used for installation. More space will be required if you choose to install more components. File allocation table (FAT) requires 100-200 MB more free disk space than other file systems. Installing Windows 2000 over the network requires 100-200 MB more space than if installing from the compact disc. Display VGA or higher video adapter and monitor. Accessories Keyboard and mouse or other pointing device. Other components CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive for compact disc installation. Networking One or more Windows 2000 compatible network adapters and related cables. Slide Objective To illustrate the hardware requirements for Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Lead-in It is important to verify that your hardware meets the requirements and is compatible before you install or upgrade to Windows 2000 Advanced Server. 4 Module 2: Installing and Upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server The Windows 2000 Setup program automatically checks your hardware and software and reports any potential conflicts. To ensure successful installation, however, you need to check the HCL before installing Windows 2000 Advanced Server. For a copy of the HCL, see the Hcl.txt file in the Support folder on the Windows 2000 compact disc. You can find the most recent version of the HCL on the Internet at http://www.microsoft.com/hwtest/hcl. For more information about hardware requirements for Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2000 Server, see appendix A, “Windows 2000 Hardware Requirements” under Appendices on the Web page on the Student Materials compact disc. Importan t Module 2: Installing and Upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server 5 Selecting a Disk Partition Option Create New Partition on Unpartitioned Hard Disk Install on Existing Partition Create New Partition on Partitioned Hard Disk Delete Existing Partition to Make Disk Space Available If you are performing a new installation, you need to plan your disk partitions before running the Setup program. Disk partitioning is a way of dividing your hard disk so that each section functions as a separate unit. When you create partitions on a disk, you divide the disk into one or more areas that can be formatted for use by a file system, such as NTFS file system, FAT, or FAT32. Planning Disk Partitions When planning disk partitions for installing Windows 2000, you need to keep the following points in mind: 1. If you select a new partition during Setup, create and size only the partition on which you will install Windows 2000 Advanced Server. After you install Windows 2000 Advanced Server, use Disk Management to partition remaining space on the hard disk. The disk partition on which you are installing Windows 2000, must have at least 1 MB of unallocated space so that you can convert it to dynamic storage later. Dynamic storage allows you to dynamically resize volumes and to create striped volumes and redundant array of independent disks (RAID)-5 volumes. 2. If you are performing a new installation on a disk partition that contains applications that you want to keep, you need to make backups of the applications before starting the installation process. After installing Windows 2000 Advanced Server, you can reinstall the applications. 3. If you plan to delete or create partitions on a hard disk, be sure to back up the disk contents beforehand because these actions will destroy any existing data. It is recommended that you back up the entire contents of the hard disk before working with partitions. Do not install Windows 2000 Advanced Server on a compressed drive unless the partition was compressed with the NTFS file system compression utility. Slide Objective To illustrate the disk partition options for Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Lead-in There are four disk partition options. Delivery Tip The slide shows the four disk partitioning options. Each illustration represents the state of a hard disk before and after the option is applied. Explain each disk partitioning option by using the illustration. Key Points During Setup, create and size only the partition on which you will install Windows 2000. This will speed up the installation process. Caution 6 Module 2: Installing and Upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server Disk Partition Options When you run the Setup program, it examines the hard disk to determine the computer’s existing configuration and offers the following options:  A new partition on an unpartitioned hard disk If the hard disk is unpartitioned, you can create and size the Windows 2000 partition.  A new partition on a partitioned hard disk If the hard disk is partitioned, but has enough unpartitioned disk space, you can create the Windows 2000 partition in the unpartitioned space.  Install on existing partition If the hard disk has an existing partition that is large enough, you can install Windows 2000 Advanced Server on that partition. If there is an operating system on an existing partition, performing a new installation overwrites that operating system.  Delete existing partition If the hard disk has an existing partition, you can delete it to create more unpartitioned disk space for the Windows 2000 partition. Deleting an existing partition also erases any data on that partition. Disk partition options are available only if you install Windows 2000 Advanced Server from a compact disc.
