Customize This Server
The third section of the Initial Configuration Tasks window contains two simple options and two very powerful options The two simple options are Enable Remote Desktop and Configure Windows Firewall The two powerful options are Add Roles and Add Features
The Windows firewall is turned on by default I recommend also enabling Remote Desktop, which you can use to administer a Windows Server 2008 server over the network using Remote Desktop Connection

Windows Server 2008 makes setting up the server to perform different roles a snap
Clicking the Add Roles link starts the Add Roles Wizard, as shown in Figure 16-15 If
you are configuring the server as a file server, just check the File Services checkbox
To configure it as a web server using IIS, click the Web Server (IIS) checkbox You can
choose any combination of roles that you need, and the wizard will walk you through
any necessary additional setup with a minimum of hassle In this example, we are
installing Windows Server 2008 as a stand-alone domain controller Using the Add
Roles Wizard, choose the Active Directory Domain Services role, and then click Next
to install them (You cannot install other roles at the same time as Active Directory
Domain Services.)

The Add Features option allows you to install particular Windows Server 2008 features When you add roles, any required features are automatically installed Accordingly, you will not often need to add specific features to a Windows Server
2008 installation I do, however, recommend that you look through the list in the Add Features Wizard, as shown in Figure 16-16, so that you understand the types of features are available
After the installation is complete (it usually does not take more than a few minutes), you need to run a program called DCPromo in order to create the new domain and complete the setup of the server

Creating a New Domain
To install your new domain, follow these steps:
1 Open the Start menu, click Run, enter DCPROMO, and press ENTER This
starts the Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard, as shown in
Figure 16-17 Click Next to continue
2 The next wizard page lets you join an existing forest or create a new forest For
this example, we will create a new forest Choose that option button and click
Next to continue

Trang 5246 Networking: A Beginner’s Guide
CAUTION Join an existing forest only if you are the network administrator responsible for the existing Active Directory forest, and you are adding a new domain controller to that forest If you are just evaluating and learning about Windows Server 2008, you should instead create a new forest
3 You are prompted to enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the new forest root domain (nabg.com in this example), as shown in Figure 16-18
4 You are prompted to enter a domain NetBIOS name Usually, this will be the main portion of the domain name you entered for the FQDN of the forest root domain (for this example, the NetBIOS name NABG will be entered by default)
If the default NetBIOS name is acceptable to you, click Next to continue
