00:04
All right, so we're connected to our host.
00:06
We're gonna start out by having a little look at the hardware configuration.
00:11
You want to see what kind of hardware you're running on,
00:14
which have a processors. How many processors? How much memory you have
00:20
will inspect other areas of the hardware configuration a little bit later.
00:24
But for now, we'll start with these.
00:27
So we go to our configuration tab.
00:30
Notice that I had the host selected.
00:33
If I select of'em, I could go to various tabs there. But in this case, it's the host.
00:39
The tabs will change between V, EMS and hosts
00:42
because they have different
00:44
configuration features.
00:46
So to the configuration tab,
00:49
I can start off with clicking the health status link.
00:56
So it says here what type of mother board my servers has
01:03
shows me that I have several processors and a lot of software components installed.
01:12
I can also look at my processors
01:15
and see that this is an Intel I seven
01:19
model 9 20 at 2.677 gigahertz,
01:25
it actually has two sockets.
01:26
I'm not sure that showing one,
01:30
but I get eight logical processors
01:33
and then this. This lets me divide this
01:37
processing capability among various virtual machines that you build
01:45
It identifies the manufacturer of the model, the BIOS version and such.
01:53
Okay, so now I will start with configuring D. N s
01:57
still in our configuration tab.
02:00
This time we're going to click a link in the software section.
02:04
We're looking for Dennis and routing.
02:15
You'll notice there is the host name here.
02:17
I'm on a local domain. This host has not been joined to a domain yet.
02:23
And Dean s server method is such a static, which basically means that you're using a host file.
02:30
What we want to do is designate a name server so that this host can communicate with other
02:38
hosts on the same sub net or through gateways to other networks.
02:44
So we'll go over to the properties link
02:51
and here we can see that we have our host named Designated were on the local domain.
02:57
There's no d n, a server address specified.
03:02
So what we want to do is join
03:07
domain that's already configured.
03:09
This one is called VM wear dot local.
03:16
We also need to configure the D. N s server.
03:21
And as I showed you earlier, the
03:23
Windows 2012 server that I built
03:25
at address 0.1 10 is providing all the service is for my virtual infrastructure,
03:35
which can also do is configure an alternate Deanna server.
03:39
um, if you wanted to use one on the Internet, you could use time dot windows dot com.
03:50
so that you can get access to Internet related
03:54
sites for downloading updates to update manager and other
04:01
Make sure you do this securely, that we'll talk about that in a different section.
04:09
You'll notice on the routing tab that my default gateway is set to
04:13
the typical standard of using Got one,
04:21
and I can go ahead and click. Okay,
04:26
now my domain is half of humor, not local.
04:29
It shows my primary and secondary Dina servers,
04:32
and I have a default gateway, which is also required by use of the VM Colonel Port.
04:40
The next thing that will do is configure network time protocol.
04:46
This is an important step, and I always advise
04:49
administrators never to skip it.
04:54
You want your all of your machines in your network to have the same time reference.
04:59
Very important. Certain applications may break if the time difference between
05:03
a client server, for instance, is too great.
05:08
Perhaps even as few as a few minutes
05:11
might make a difference to break something.
05:15
It's also important for other reasons. You want to make sure that all of your servers are synchronized the team to the same time source, so that
05:23
if you have to do any trouble shooting or, ah, forensic investigation,
05:29
you know that all of your time stamps on log events will be
05:32
more or less synchronized.
05:39
we'll go in under the software section again
05:42
and click on time configuration.
05:48
The system has a time that it that it got when it was built, the host.
05:53
So if the clock was correct on that motherboard, it might be correct. Here is Well,
05:59
in this case, we're not running the NTP client yet, so it shows a status of stop.
06:03
I can go over to the properties link.
06:13
that I can manually set the time and date.
06:15
Maybe you don't have an NTP server.
06:18
It's not something you're planning for your infrastructure. So
06:25
it's better to use on T p.
06:27
Of course, as I mentioned already,
06:30
in any case, we're configuring into peace, and now we have to enable the client by clicking this box.
06:36
Standard NTP port is UDP 1 23
06:40
that should be allowed
06:42
within your typical network.
06:46
all individual servers can use that port three year perimeter firewalls another. Another question.
06:55
But for our purposes, the the anti P server is on the network that we're on with the host
07:03
now you need to go to the options button.
07:11
Here. We have options for how the anti P service
07:16
by default. It's set to start and stop manually,
07:23
might be useful if you're doing testing.
07:26
Once it's configured correctly, however, you probably want to start and stop with the host.
07:34
gives you 1/3 choice for
07:38
starting the anti P service as soon as possible. When the system is booting,
07:51
You'll see that we need to configure an anti P server,
07:56
so I click add and get my pop up
07:59
and my address for the crux 2012 servers 1 2190 to 1 68
08:09
I can also add a secondary
08:15
server, but in this case I don't need one.
08:22
Well, let's go ahead and do it just in case. We want to make sure we can get an Internet time source. This is the I P for
08:31
time dot windows dot com.
08:39
Because you've added new servers, we need to restart the service,
08:41
so make sure you click that box.
08:48
I won't click. Okay,
08:52
okay, again and we'll see. The service is now running,
08:54
It's synchronized. It's time,
08:58
and I can see my primary
09:01
in secondary servers.
09:07
Next task is to configure. Directory service is
09:11
so now under the software section. Again,
09:15
we'll go down to authentication service is,
09:20
and you'll notice that my authentication at this point is local.
09:24
Which means unless the account exists
09:28
in the FC password and that's the shadow file
09:31
as a local council type account
09:33
or an account you could use with an SS H server,
09:39
there are no other authentication options,
09:41
so we want to configure at our active directory.
09:45
Since that's running on the
09:46
the two top 2012 server of'em that I showed you earlier,
09:52
So we'll click on properties
09:54
by default. It's such a local authentication will set that to actor directory
10:01
as the EM wear got local.
10:07
Now we can click the joint domain button.
10:11
And this is where the
10:13
password for the domain controller is required.
10:33
Okay, so I've typed that in. I've been authenticated.
10:37
No, I can click. Okay,
10:39
You'll notice my director Service's is now through active directory,
10:43
and I've joined the domain.
10:50
All right, so that concludes. Lab number two.
10:52
don't forget to do lab number three where we work with virtual machines.
