The following article will guide you step by step to install Windows Server 2008, from the preparation process until the actual installation.

Determine hardware requirements

Problem: Any operating system offers minimum and optimal hardware requirements so that the system can run smoothly. So you need to determine if your system’s hardware strength meets the requirements of Windows Server 2008 operating system?

Resolution: Determine the hardware requirements at the three minimum, recommended, and optimal levels of Windows Server 2008, and compare it to your system.

You need to focus on the three main parts, which are RAM, processor, and free space on the hard drive.

Hardware / Configuration

Minimum

Suggest

Optimal

RAM memory

512MB

1GB

2GB

Processor

1Ghz

2Ghz

3Ghz

Hard drive (empty)

10GB

40GB

80GB

The recommended configuration is only required to run the operating system. You should consult the hardware requirements of the applications that will be run on the system for proper adjustments.

If you upgrade RAM to more than 16GB, you need to increase the amount of free space on the hard drive to make room for virtual memory (pagefile), Hibernate mode and dump files (dump file).

You can use the Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit (MAP) tool to evaluate the server system. This tool will create a report to help you determine which server is ready to install Windows Server 2008.

Detailed steps to install Windows Server 2008

  1. Determine hardware requirements
  2. Perform preparation steps
  3. Check application compatibility
    1. Disconnect the power without interrupting the UPS
    2. Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool
    3. Prepare drivers for storage devices
    4. Back up the server
    5. Disable antivirus software

    3. Windows Server 2008 Enterprise
    4. Windows Server 2008 Datacenter
    5. Windows HPC Server 2008
    6. Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems
  5. Install Windows Server 2008
    1. Manual installation
    2. Automatic installation

Perform preparation steps

Problem: After you have determined that the system meets the Windows Server 2008 hardware requirements, the next step is to perform the preparation before proceeding with the installation. Specifically, what are these?

Resolution: The following is a list of things to do during the pre-installation process.

  1. Check application compatibility

  2. Disconnect the power without interrupting the UPS

  3. Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool

  4. Prepare drivers for storage devices

  5. Back up the server

  6. Disable antivirus software

  7. Prepare Active Directory

Above is all that should be done before installing Windows Server 2008. You may not have to do all of the above, because it depends on whether you will install it completely or upgrade it. level directly from the old operating system. In addition, you only need to take steps to prepare the Active Directory if you intend to turn your Windows Server 2008-based computer into a domain controller and add it to an existing Windows 2000/2003 domain.

Next is the detail of each job:

Check application compatibility

Before installing Windows Server 2008, you need to make sure that third-party applications that run on the system are supported by this operating system. To do this, you can check the documentation that came with the application or contact the vendor for a solution to see if this application is running on Windows Server 2008. In a professional working environment, technical documentation is extremely important because it helps you deploy applications on the system properly and effectively.

Another tool you can use is Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0 (ACT 5.0). This tool is used to collect compatibility data and save it to a centralized data store. These are very useful information when assessing risks that may occur after upgrading the operating system.

Note: You can also use ACT 5.0 in cases where the system has a smaller change, such as upgrading your browser or updating Windows. Please come here for more details.

Disconnect the power without interrupting the UPS

During the installation process, Windows Server 2008 will attempt to detect devices connected to the serial port. If you are connecting the UPS power via the serial port, you may have problems with the installer. So it is best to disconnect the UPS source until the installation is complete.

Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool

Please use Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to check RAM on the server. Click here to download the tool and then follow these steps:

  1. Run the mtinst.exe file to start installing Windows Memory Diagnostic.

  2. If you want to use the floppy disk to boot the server, select Create Startup Disk to install the Windows Memory Diagnostic on the floppy disk. If you use the CD, select Save CD Image to Disk .

  3. Restart the server with the boot disk you just created.

  4. The server will automatically boot into the Windows Memory Diagnostic interface and start the test.

Note: To check the server memory more carefully, you can run the extended test mode by pressing T when the Windows Memory Diagnostic is working. When choosing this mode, it is best to let the program run overnight.

Prepare drivers for storage devices

If your storage device has a driver (driver) included, you should save the driver to a floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB drive. During the installation process, you may need these drivers.

Back up the server

Backing up server data is an indispensable operation before making changes on the system. Make sure your important data is backed up carefully. When performing an operating system upgrade, you should have a backup of the system boot partition as well as system state data. These data can be backed up by creating a backup copy for Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Disable antivirus software

Anti-virus software will scan all files copied to the server, so it may affect the speed of system upgrade.

Prepare Active Directory

There are two steps to preparing the Active Directory service:

  1. Prepare the forest.

  2. Prepare the domain.

Note: You only need to prepare Active Directory when you intend to build a domain controller using Windows Server 2008 and join the existing Windows 2000/2003 domain.

Steps to prepare the forest:

  1. Log in to the Schema Master of the current domain using the account that is a member of one of the Enterprise Administrators, Schema Administrators, or Domain Administrators groups.

  2. Copy the adprep folder from sourcesadprep on the Windows Server 2008 installation disc into the Schema Master.

  3. From the command line, go to the newly copied adprep folder, then run adprep / forestprep .

  4. For read-only domain controllers (RODC), run adprep / rodcprep .

  5. Wait for the task to complete and replicate before proceeding to the second step in the Active Directory service preparation stage.

Next is the domain preparation steps:

  1. Log in to the Infrastructure Master of the current domain using the account that is a member of the Domain Administrators group.

  2. Copy the adprep folder from sourcesadprep on the Windows Server 2008 installation disc into the Infrastructure Master.

  3. From the command line, navigate to the newly copied adprep folder, then run adprepdomainprepgpprep

  4. Wait for the task to complete and replicate.

At this point, you are done with the preparation and you can start installing Windows Server 2008. However, first you need to decide which edition to install?

At this point, you already know the Windows Server 2008 editions and can make your decisions. Suppose you choose to install Windows Server 2008 Standard edition, we will proceed with the installation now.

Install Windows Server 2008

Problem: You have decided to install Windows Server 2008 Standard. Next, you need to choose whether to proceed with manual installation or automatic installation. It is possible that many servers will also need to upgrade.

Resolution: The next section of the article will cover step by step the installation of Windows Server 2008, both manually and automatically.

Manual installation

The Windows Server 2008 installation process is very organized. If you’ve ever installed Windows Server 2003, you may still remember that during the installation process, you are asked to answer configuration questions. With Windows Server 2008, these requests have been moved to the Initial Configuration Task Wizard that appears when the installation is complete. The following is a list of the information you need to provide during the installation process:

  1. Language, currency and keyboard information (input language)

  2. Valid product activation key

  3. Installation location

  4. Copy the operating system to install (if not enter the product key)

    Download the drivers of the third-party storage devices and select the installation location.

    At this point, Windows will begin to be installed on the system. You can see that the step-by-step process is expressed in percent. During the installation process, the server will have to restart several times. The installer will complete the following tasks:

    — Copy the file
    — Expand the file
    — Function setting
    — Install updates
    — Finish

  9. When the installation process is complete, change the administrator administrator account password before logging in. After the password has been changed and you are logged in to the operating system, you are done with part 1 of the installation.

Initialize the configuration

After you log in to the operating system, the Initial Configuration Tasks Wizard window appears, consisting of three items:

  1. Provide computer information (Provide system information)

  2. Update this server (Update server)

  3. Customize this server (Customize the server)

Install Windows Server 2008 Picture 6


Initial Configuration Tasks Wizard

So, in these sections, what changes can you make to the configuration?

In Provide Computer Information , you can do the following:

  1. Change time zone

  2. Set up network configuration on the network interface card interface (NIC). You can also assign a static IP address, subnet mask, default gateway (default gateway) and DNS / WINS server. In many environments, you will probably be grouped with two network interface cards for the production data LAN (using third party software) and have a separate network interface card dedicated to backing up data. connect to backup LAN. In addition, you can leave the settings automatically assigned by the DHCP server, of course in case you have the DHCP server configured.

    Note: In fact, you will often assign static IP addresses to infrastructure servers. In this case, you will need to collect that information with a valid IP address for the default gateway and for the DNS / WINS server before installing.

  3. Provide the computer name for the server, along with domain or workgroup information.
    You need to restart the server for the changes to take effect.

In the Update This Server section , you can do the following:

  1. Allow automatic updating and feedback
  2. Configure the download and installation of operating system updates

In the Customize This Server section , you can do the following:

1. Add server role (role).

When you choose a role, the wizard will help you complete the role installation. You can choose the following roles:

  1. Active Directory Certificate Services
  2. Active Directory Domain Services
  3. Active Directory Federation Services
  4. Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services
  5. Active Directory Rights Management Services
  6. Application Server
  7. DHCP Server
  8. DNS Server
  9. Fax Server
  10. File Services
  11. Network Policy and Access Services
  12. Print Services
  13. Terminal Services
  14. UDDI Services
  15. Web Server (IIS)
  16. Windows Deployment Services

2. Add features.

As well as adding roles, when you select the feature, the wizard will help you complete the installation of that feature. There are many features for you to choose from.

Install Windows Server 2008 Picture 7


Select the feature you want to install

Note: For both list of roles and features, when you highlight a role or feature, you will see a description on the right of the list. When you choose roles and features, remember to install as little as possible, preferably just choose the things you intend to use. If you install unnecessary roles or features, you will also install useless services and be able to open ports that are not valuable in production so that the server is no longer secure.

  1. Allow Remote Desktop to connect to the server
  2. Configure operating system firewall settings. By default, the firewall is enabled.

Next will be the third part of the installation process.

Server Manager installation

Install Windows Server 2008 Picture 8

Server Manager gives you a global view of the server. When looking at the default details, you can see computer information, security information, and a summary of installed roles and features. Looking down, you will see resources and support. On the left side of the window are tools to help you add / remove and configure roles and features. You will also see options to diagnose, configure and manage drives. After setting the changes in Server Manager, your manual installation is complete.

Automatic installation

So you have completed the manual installation, the next part of the article will introduce you to the automatic installation process. With Windows Server 2008, use the unattend.xml file instead of unattend.txt. In fact, the unattend.xml file also replaces both the Sysprep.inf, Winbom.ini, and Cmdlines.txt files. The XML format has been adopted because it makes it easier to describe nested values, add new elements, and validate answer files. You can open the unattend.xml file in Internet Explorer version 5.5 and above to parse the .xml file and see if it is completely built. If the file is not built correctly, Internet Explorer will tell you where the error is.

To install automatically, run the setup.exe file with the unattend keyword

C:> setup.exe /unattend:unattend.xml

The unattend.xml file contains the necessary answers when running setup.exe, namely information such as computer name, acceptance of the end user license agreement (EULA), installation disk information, etc. v . You can also show or hide the user interface (UI) for each value set using the ShowUI flag = Yes / No. The following is how the installer responds when you use the ShowUI flag:

  1. ShowUI flag = Yes and the setting specified in the unattend.xml file: The installer uses the settings specified in the unattend.xml file and displays the user interface according to that setting.
  2. ShowUI flag = No and the setting specified in the unattend.xml file: The installer uses the settings specified in the unattend.xml file and does not display the user interface.
  3. ShowUI flag = Yes and the setting is not specified in the unattend.xml file: The installer displays the user interface with default values ​​and users can change this setting if needed.
  4. ShowUI flag = No and the setting is not specified in the unattend.xml file: The installer uses the default value and does not display the user interface.

When performing automatic installation over the network, the system installer must have access to the unattend.xml file. When the installer starts from the CD / DVD drive, it will search for the unattend.xml file in the following locations:

  1. Current directory

  2. The location starts the setup.exe file

  3. Floppy drive, USB or other CD / DVD drive

The syntax for the unattend.xml file is broken down into elements, and each element needs to be opened and closed in the correct order (when nested). Once ensured this, it will be a completely built .xml file. There is only one root element:.

Install Windows Server 2008 Picture 9


A paragraph in the unattend.xml file

The operation of the unattend.xml file will stop with an error message if any of the following is true:

  1. End user license agreement is not accepted

  2. Product activation key is invalid

  3. Unable to write to the installation disc

Creating an unattend.xml file can be a bit confusing, but once you’ve created it successfully, it will make the job a lot easier. There are a number of tools available on the web that can help you create this file. You can also get creative by adding a few scripts to automatically name computers that follow your naming convention and many other configuration options.

Подготовка и установка Windows Server 2008 R2 включает в себя несколько этапов: подготовка, проверка совместимости оборудования; установка Windows Server 2008 R2 и первоначальная настройка.

Установка серверной операционной системы Windows Server 2008 R2

Подготовительные мероприятия

Перед началом установки нужно выполнить подготовительную работу.

Основные пункты:

  • Определитесь с редакцией операционной системы Windows Server 2008. Это может быть Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter и т.д..
  • Проверьте, соответствует ли ваш сервер минимальным системным требованиям выбранной редакции операционной системы.
  • Подготовьте носитель с файлами для установки (в нашем случае USB флеш диск).

  • Если вы планируете использовать данный сервер для хранения или обработки данных — установите отдельный жесткий диск для операционной системы.
  • После установки операционной системы Windows Server установите «родные» драйвера для используемого оборудования.
  • Драйвера скачайте с официального сайта производителя или возьмите диск, который поставлялся вместе с вашим серверным оборудованием.
  • Используйте официальные методы активации операционной системы Windows Server 2008 R2.

Установка Windows Server 2008 R2

Подготовка окончена. Можно приступать к установке. В среднем по времени она займет примерно 15-20 минут, всё зависит от производительности вашего сервера. Работать придется с довольно простыми диалоговыми окнами.

Ниже описаны ключевые этапы:

  • Вставьте USB флеш накопитель в рабочий USB разъём сервера.
  • Включите сервер.
  • Путем нажатия кнопки F2 или DEL (зависит от модели материнской платы) зайдите в BIOS.
  • Выберите первым загрузочным устройством вставленный USB флеш накопитель .
  • Сохраните изменения и перезагрузите устройство.

1. Первоначально нам предложено выбрать языковые настройки и параметры местоположения:

Языковые настройки Server 2008

Выберите необходимые настройки и нажмите кнопку: ДАЛЕЕ.

2. В следующем диалоговом окне нам предлагается на выбор несколько пунктов, но нас на данный момент интересует только установка:

Установка Windows Server

Нажмите кнопку: УСТАНОВИТЬ.

С редакцией операционной системы мы определились ранее:

Выбор редакции Server 2008

Выберите необходимую и нажмите кнопку: ДАЛЕЕ.

3. Окно с условиями лицензионного соглашения:

Окно с условиями лицензионного соглашения

Поставьте галочку: «Я принимаю условия лицензии» и нажмите кнопку ДАЛЕЕ.

4. Тип установки:

Тип установки: обновление или полная установка Windows Server

Нажмите: «Полная установка».

5. Выбор раздела для установки:

Выбор раздела для установки

На этом пункте остановимся поподробнее.

Возможно, появится ошибка типа: «невозможно определить жесткий диск» с предложением отменить установку, либо выбрать дополнительный драйвер. Необходимо скачать и скопировать драйвер контроллера для данной материнской платы. Как это сделать мы расскажем позже, либо воспользуйтесь Google поиском для изучения данного вопроса.

Вставьте USB флэшку и нажмите кнопку: ЗАГРУЗКА. Затем выберите нужный драйвер. Обычно мастер установки просит данный драйвер при установке на динамический жесткий диск.

Установка Windows Server на выбранный раздел жёсткого диска

В случае, если производится установка на отдельный жесткий диск, действуйте следующим образом:

  • Выделите курсором строку «Незанятое место на диске».
  • Нажмите кнопку СОЗДАТЬ, далее кнопку: ПРИМЕНИТЬ.

Появляется следующее окно:

s_2008_7

Нажмите кнопку ОК. Затем кнопку: ДАЛЕЕ.

Всегда удаляйте старые системные разделы на диске и создавайте новые, чтобы избежать дальнейших проблем.

Процесс установки

Установка началась. В процессе мы увидим следующие окна:

s_2008_8

s_2008_9

s_2008_11

Создание пароля администратора сервера

Во время установки система несколько раз перезагрузится. Если в настройках загрузки компьютера по умолчанию вы выбирали флэшку, то теперь нам нужно выбрать жесткий диск, на который мы производим установку. В противном случае мы опять вернемся к первоначальному этапу.

Вход в систему

Если вы увидели окно входа в систему, то всё прошло удачно:

Вводим пароль и его подтверждение и нажимаем кнопку «Стрелка вправо». Пароль должен содержать буквы разного регистра, цифры и быть длинной не менее восьми символов. Запишите пароль, чтобы не забыть, он понадобится после каждой перезагрузки системы.

Применение параметров и запуск службы профилей пользователей

Применение параметров

Применение параметров далее

В части установки операционной системы мы закончили.

Минимальная первоначальная настройка

Устанавливаем драйвера и перезагружаемся. После перезагрузки появится окно первоначальной настройки:

Окно первоначальной настройки

Здесь приведены основные пункты первоначальной настройки

a) Нам нужно активировать систему. Существует много способов это сделать. Про это читайте отдельно.

b) Установите нужный часовой пояс.

Установка часового пояса

c) Поменяйте имя сервера на нужное (пример srvTEST).

Сменить имя сервера в Windows Servr 2008

Перезагрузку можно произвести после всех остальных настроек.

d) В настройках сети пропишите IP-адрес и маску подсети (пример 192.168.1.1, 255.255.255.0).

Настройка подсети

e) Установите необходимые обновления из центра обновления Windows:

Установка обновлений Windows Server

В способе установки обновлений выберите пункт: «Искать обновления, но решение о загрузке и установке принимается мной».

Настройка обновлений

Произведите поиск и установку обновлений.

f) Для удобства дальнейшего администрирования настраиваем службу удаленных рабочих столов (может потребоваться для настройки Server 2008 для удалённой работы 1С:Бухгалтерия).

Настройка удалённых рабочих столов

Настройка удалённых рабочих столов далее

g) Добавьте пользователя для подключения.

Первоначальная настройка операционной системы завершена

Перезагрузите сервер. После перезагрузки автоматически установятся обновления.
Наш сервер 2008 установлен и готов к дальнейшему развитию: добавлению ролей, установке программ и т.д. О том, что делать дальше читайте в следующих статьях.
