The instructor computer (London) has Windows 2000 Advanced Server installed as a domain controller in the classroom domain, which is nwtraders.msft. Each student computer has Windows 2000 Advanced Server installed as a member server in the nwtraders.msft domain. Classroom Setup Guide 5 Setup Instructions Use the following procedures to prepare each computer for class. The instructor computer (London) must be set up completely before you begin setting up the student computers. Student computer setup occurs over the network by using file shares that are created on the instructor computer. Before You Begin You will need to do the following: ! Read through all setup procedures. ! Make sure that you have the Trainer Materials compact disc that is provided with the course materials. ! Prepare a Microsoft MS-DOS ® system disk and a network boot disk. MS-DOS System Disk To set up the instructor computer, you must have an MS-DOS system disk. This disk must include the following: ! MS-DOS system files. ! MS-DOS drivers for the CD-ROM drive of the instructor computer. ! Xcopy.exe, Xcopy32.exe, and Xcopy32.mod. These files must be located either on the root of the system disk or in a location that is specified in the MS-DOS path statement in the Autoexec.bat file. ! Smartdrv.exe and Himem.sys. Running Smartdrv.exe dramatically increases the performance of the file copying process that occurs during the initial phase of setup. With Smartdrv loaded, this process generally takes 30 minutes or less. Without Smartdrv, it might take several hours. Some computers can use Microsoft Windows 98 startup disks, which include drivers for most CD-ROM drives. Network Boot Disk Setup of the student computers takes place over the network. As a result, you must have an MS-DOS system disk that includes drivers for network adapters in the student computers. In addition, the network boot disk must include the Xcopy.exe, Xcopy32.exe, and Xcopy32.mod files either on the root of the system disk or in a location that is specified in the MS-DOS path statement in the Autoexec.bat file. The batch files that are used to set up the student computers require a large amount of MS-DOS environment space. Therefore, it is recommended that you include the following line in the Config.sys file on the boot disk: Shell = a:\command.com /p /e:1024 Windows 2000 does not include a utility for creating network boot disks. Important Note Note 6 Classroom Setup Guide Setup Overview Read this section before you begin configuring the computers. Failure to follow the instructions in this Classroom Setup Guide will cause the labs to fail. These setup instructions provide you with both automated and manual installation procedures and automated configuration procedures. If you complete the automated installation, the configuration is also completed automatically. If you cannot complete an automated installation of the software, you can follow the manual procedures in the Manual Classroom Setup Guide on the Trainer Materials compact disc. Following a manual installation, you must complete the post-installation configuration procedure. It is very important that you allocate enough time for a manual installation if you are not sure that the automated installation will work in your environment.
