be used in the labs
Students’ actions may affect their partners
working on labs
As you describe this classroom configuration, sketch it out on the board
Trang 5The instructor’s computer, london, is in the top-level domain, nwtraders.msft The name for the instructor’s computer is london.nwtraders.msft Each student’s computer is in a subdomain of the instructor’s domain For example, one student computer, vancouver, is in the namerica.nwtraders.msft domain The name for the student’s computer
is vancouver.namerica.nwtraders.msft
vancouver.namerica1.nwtraders.msft Student computer
There are two computers in each subdomain Each student is paired with another student in a domain For example, vancouver is paired with denver
in the namerica1 domain, and lisbon and bonn are paired in the europe1 domain
Show students where to find their computer names Tell them to right-click
My Computer, click Properties, and then click Network Identification
When they have identified their computers, have them write their computer names and domain names on the back of their name cards for quick reference They will need to know their computer names and domain names when they are working on labs Students will be working only in their own subdomains during this class Therefore, anytime that they are logged on to the computer, they should be in their subdomains
Introduce managing access to resources for users and groups Identify how administrators use permissions in Windows 2000 to control user access to network resources Identify how students can use groups to efficiently manage user accounts
Provide an overview of Windows 2000 domains Explain how Windows 2000 centralizes network administration Describe the roles of computers in a domain Present an overview of the key functions of Active Directory Mention to students that they can obtain additional information about Active Directory by viewing the video, “Concepts of Windows 2000 Active Directory” on the Student Materials compact disc
You should not present this video in class because it covers topics that are beyond the scope of this course Tell students that they also can learn more
about Active Directory in course 1557, Installing and Configuring Microsoft Windows 2000
Introduce students to Windows 2000 Help Demonstrate how to locate and access information in Windows 2000 Help Explain and demonstrate how Help is context-sensitive Demonstrate Help by accessing it while using Microsoft Internet Explorer

! Introduction to Network Administration
! Gaining Access to Network Resources
! Managing Access to Network Resources
! Introduction to Windows 2000 Domains
! Using Windows 2000 Help
As administrator of a network, you provide users with access to the network, and you control the kind of access that each user has to resources on the network You create user accounts and assign permissions for users to gain access to resources such as printers, applications, and data files You manage user accounts by creating groups, putting users into groups, and then assigning permissions to groups
In most situations, the network that you administer is a domain A domain is a grouping of computers that can share resources In addition, information about users and network resources is centrally organized in Active Directory™
directory services
When you perform an administrative task, you may need additional information about the task You will find useful information in Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Help
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
network
manage user access to network resources
computers in a domain, and how Active Directory provides a unified source of information and directory functions

Shared Resources
Shared Resources
Administering User Accounts
User accounts enable individual users to gain access to network resources A user account is the user’s unique credential that is recognized by the network You create user accounts for each person who regularly uses the network A user account provides the ability to log on to the domain to gain access to network resources, or to log on to an individual computer to gain access to resources on that computer The process of logging on identifies the user to the system As an administrator, you assign and maintain user names and
passwords for each user account
Assigning Permissions to Users
You control user access to network resources Not all users need access to all network resources Windows 2000 provides the administrative tools for you to control access and maintain security for network resources Windows 2000
tools enable you to control who gains access to specific resources, and to specify the kind of access that each user has As an administrator, you assign
permissions to control access to resources
Windows 2000 enables you
to administer users and
network resources
Trang 9Administering Groups of User Accounts
In networks with many user accounts and many resources, administration can
be time consuming Windows 2000 provides you with the ability to manage individual user accounts efficiently by organizing them into logical groups This simplifies administration by allowing you to group users who have the same administrative needs and then assign appropriate permissions to each group You assign permissions once to an entire group instead of assigning them to each user account
Administering Domains
A domain is a logical grouping of computers After you create a user account, the user logs on to the domain and has access to the resources for which you have given him or her permissions on the domain Generally, a domain is the most common network configuration that you will administer
Using Active Directory to Manage Resources
Active Directory is the directory service for Windows 2000 It is stored on a domain controller Active Directory contains information about users and resources on the network and makes this information easy for you to find and use For example, Active Directory stores information about user accounts, such as names, passwords, phone numbers, and so on, and provides you with tools to gain access to this information
Trang 10# Gaining Access to Network Resources
! User Accounts in Windows 2000
! Windows 2000 Authentication Process
! Logging On to Windows 2000
! Windows 2000 Security Dialog Box
User accounts enable users to gain access to network resources To gain access
to network resources, users must be validated through the logon process A user
types the necessary logon information in the Log On to Windows dialog box
Windows 2000 authenticates a user during the logon process to verify the identity of the user This mandatory process ensures that only valid users gain access to resources on a computer or the network Logging on provides the user with access to everything on the network for which the user has permission
Users can log on to a domain or to a local computer The domain controller or the computer to which users log on authenticates the users
The Windows 2000 Security dialog box enables users to lock their
workstations, change their passwords, and perform additional actions
Users must have a user
account to gain access to a
Windows 2000 network
Delivery Tip
This is an overview of
gaining access to network
resources Prepare students
for the topics by providing
the following key points of
The authentication process
insures that only valid users
have access to network
resources
Users log on to a network by
using the Log On to
Windows dialog box
The Windows 2000
Security dialog box enables
users to lock their
workstations and change
their passwords
Trang 11User Accounts in Windows 2000
Domain User Accounts
A domain user account contains information that defines a user to the domain
In Windows 2000, all user account information for the domain is stored in one common location called Active Directory Active Directory is stored on a domain controller With a single domain user account, a user can log on to the domain and gain access to domain resources on any computer on the network
Local User Accounts
A local user account contains information that defines a user to the local computer With a local user account, a user can log on to the local computer only and gain access to local resources only To gain access to resources on another computer, a user must use an account on the other computer
user account contains
information about the user
Instructor Note
Be sure that students
understand the difference
between domain and local
user accounts You may
need to provide a brief
explanation of the terms
Trang 12Windows 2000 Authentication Process
! Provides User Identity and Security Settings
! Enables a User to Gain Access to Resources and Perform System Tasks Logging on Locally
Local Security Database
1 The user logs on by providing a user logon name and a password
Windows 2000 validates the user’s information in one of two ways, depending on whether the user is logging on to a domain or to a local computer:
• For logging on to a domain—Windows 2000 forwards the information
3 If the information matches and the user account is valid, the user is then able
to gain access to resources and perform system tasks for which he or she has the permissions and privileges
authentication process that
ensures that only valid users
have access to network or
computer resources
Key Points
When a user logs on to a
domain, the domain
controller authenticates the
user by using information in
Active Directory
When a user logs on to a
local computer, the
computer authenticates the
user by using information in
the local security database
Trang 13When a computer running Windows 2000 starts, the user is prompted to press
CTRL+ALT+DEL to log on Windows 2000 then displays the Log On to
Windows dialog box A user can log on to a domain or to an individual
computer
Logging On to a Domain
When a user logs on to a domain:
the user on to the default domain The default domain is the most recent domain to which a user logged on at that computer
user is able to use the Log on to option to specify a domain This allows a
user to log on to the domain that contains his or her user account from a computer that is located in a different domain, or to log on locally to a member server or a computer running Windows 2000 Professional
The following table describes the options in the Log On to Windows
dialog box
Option Description User name A unique user logon name that an administrator assigns To log on to
a domain, this user account must reside in Active Directory
Password The password that is assigned to the user account A user must enter a
password to prove his or her identity
Passwords are case sensitive The password appears on the screen as a series of asterisks (*) to protect it from onlookers To prevent
unauthorized access to resources and data, users must keep passwords secret
Slide Objective
To show the information
that users must provide
when they log on to
Windows 2000
Lead-in
Let’s look at the information
that users must provide
when they log on to
Windows 2000
Delivery Tips
