Hardware/Software required to run this course
To run this course, you will need one Windows 2000 computer to act as a classroom Active Directory domain controller; one computer for half of the students and the instructor to install Windows 2000 Server; and one computer for the other half of the students to install Windows 2000 Professional. (A student lab station will contain two computers: a Windows 2000 server and a Windows 2000 Professional workstation.) In addition, you will need one server running either NetWare 5.0 or NetWare 4.2. Each computer should have:
At least 128 megabytes (MB) of Random Access Memory. (You could get away with 64 MB of RAM for the NetWare server.)
A 2 GB hard drive or larger. Students will need to install Windows 2000 on at least a 1 GB partition; in addition, they'll need around 500 MB of unallocated space on their hard drives to work with during class.
NOTE: In this course, you will be installing Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2000 Professional. To provide the installation source files for Windows 2000, you can either distribute installation CD-ROMs to each computer, copy the installation files to each computer, or copy and share the installation files on the classroom domain controller.
A Pentium processor, 133 MHz or higher.
A VGA or higher resolution video card and monitor, capable of displaying 800 x 600 screen resolution.
A mouse or compatible tracking device.
A connection to the Internet (students will need it to complete the Windows Update activity).
A 12X or faster CD-ROM drive.
A 3.5" 1.44 MB floppy-disk drive.
A network interface card and network cable. We recommend that you "mini-net" or otherwise isolate your classroom from other portions of your network.
For the classroom domain controller, Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server.
In addition to these computers, you will also need:
Three blank floppy diskettes for each student and the instructor.
If you do not have bootable CD-ROM drives and Windows 2000 installation CD-ROMs, you will need an additional four floppy disks for each student and the instructor to create Windows 2000 Setup boot floppies.
A display system to display the instructor's computer screen.
OPTIONAL: A display system to display the classroom domain controller's screen. See your reference manual for hardware considerations that apply to your specific hardware setup.
