MMS Server The server component is responsible for storing and managing the metadirectory data MMS Server ensures that network identity data is synchronized between the connected directories and the metaverse ! MMS Compass MMS Compass is the client application used to administer the metadirectory data stored on the MMS Server MMS Compass is a general-purpose Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) client, which can be used to display and modify MMS data MMS Compass is the client program that is included on the installation compact disc You can also connect to MMS Server using a generic LDAP client, a standard Web browser, or the Active Compass client BETA MATERIALS FOR MICROSOFT CERTIFIED TRAINER PREPARATION PURPOSES ONLY Module 2: Installing and Exploring MMS Introducing MMS Server Topic Objective MMS Server Architecture To introduce the MMS Server Lead-in Connectivity Interface MMS consists of one or more metadirectory servers that manage the metadirectory information base and satisfy requests from various clients to display or modify information in that information base Sync Engine Management Agents Script Templates LDAP HTTP PAL DSA Hash DB Data Store Transaction DB Windows 2000 Advanced Server MMS consists of one or more metadirectory servers that manage the metadirectory information base and satisfy requests from various clients to display or modify information in that information base Once the MMS Server is started, it monitors a defined LDAP and HTTP port, and responds to queries to display and modify objects stored in the metadirectory Through the use of management agents, MMS Server synchronizes changes to directory objects between the metaverse namespace and the connected directories The MMS Server architecture includes the following components: ! The data store The x500.db is a proprietary Abstract Syntax Notation (ASN.1) encoded database The data store includes several additional components ! Management Agents (MAs) MAs are the key to the metadirectory They integrate each connected directory through the synchronization engine MAs perform all directory synchronization and attribute flow The management agent control script controls the overall process flow of a MA MAs use templates during the synchronization phase to manipulate metadirectory object entries ! Transaction stack database By default, all additions, modifications, and deletions to the directory are written to a separate transaction database This database represents physical files from viatran.000 up to viatran.255 ! Hash database A general-purpose search engine provides indexing, hashing, and wildcard search capabilities Indexing information is stored in the hash database and the wildcard hash database: hash.db and hashwild.db, respectively BETA MATERIALS FOR MICROSOFT CERTIFIED TRAINER PREPARATION PURPOSES ONLY Module 2: Installing and Exploring MMS Introducing the MMS Clients Topic Objective To introduce the MMS clients, including MMS Compass ! $ ! General purpose LDAP client included with MMS $ Lead-in MMS Server supports both LDAP and HTTP client access MMS Compass Installed from the MMS compact disc or from MMS homepage MMS Active Compass $ $ ! ActiveX implementation of MMS Compass Runs from MMS server on client computer with network connectivity to the MMS server MMS HTTP Client $ Web-based client offers basic search and browse functionality $ Available to any form-enabled Web browser MMS Server supports both LDAP and HTTP client access A standard Web browser provides basic metadirectory access capabilities It enables you to start MMS Active Compass within your browser or install the stand-alone MMS Compass on your local computer MMS Compass is the most powerful interface for managing the directory, and it is the one normally used by directory administrators MMS Compass MMS Compass can either be installed from the initial Web browser connection to the MMS Server or from the MMS compact disc Once installed to the local computer, MMS Compass is used to connect to the MMS Server and administer the metadirectory MMS can be configured to allow anonymous access to the metadirectory, and allow non-administrative access to the data Anonymous logon might be permitted to allow users the ability to manage some portion of their personal data, such as home address or telephone number MMS Active Compass MMS Active Compass is an ActiveX® implementation of the MMS Compass client that runs within any browser that supports ActiveX technology Active Compass is essentially the same application as the stand-alone MMS Compass client, but it is run from a Web browser, rather than as a locally installed application Active Compass allows metadirectory access from any computer with a compatible Web browser and network access to MMS Server BETA MATERIALS FOR MICROSOFT CERTIFIED TRAINER PREPARATION PURPOSES ONLY Module 2: Installing and Exploring MMS MMS HTTP Client The MMS HTTP client is a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) interface accessed from the MMS Server computer by using a standard Web browser The default homepage for the MMS is titled Your Metadirectory, and it supports basic browse, search, and modify capabilities You can customize this default page to meet the specific needs of your organization You access the MMS HTTP client by entering the address of the MMS server in the Web browser address bar Note If you are using an HTTP port number other than the default port number 80, you will have to type the port number as part of the URL for the MMS server For example, to access the MMS HTTP client for a server named METAHOST that is configured to use HTTP port 81, you must type http://metahost:81 In addition to the above-described clients, you can also access the metadirectory using any generic LDAP client, such LDP.exe from the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit BETA MATERIALS FOR MICROSOFT CERTIFIED TRAINER PREPARATION PURPOSES ONLY Module 2: Installing and Exploring MMS #

Best Practices Topic Objective To describe the best practices when installing MMS Run MMS As the Only Service on the Computer Run MMS As the Only Service on the Computer Lead-in Do Not Run MMS on a Domain Controller Do Not Run MMS on a Domain Controller The following list provides best practices for installing and configuring MMS Use a High-speed Disk Array Use a High-speed Disk Array Use Alternate LDAP and HTTP Port Numbers Above 1024 Use Alternate LDAP and HTTP Port Numbers Above 1024 Use DNS When Defining the MMS Context Prefix Use DNS When Defining the MMS Context Prefix The following list provides best practices for installing and configuring MMS: ! For optimal performance, install MMS Server on a computer that is not running other resource-intensive services It also recommended not installing MMS Server on a domain controller, due to the resource requirements of hosting the Active Directory ! Since disk access is a significant factor in overall performance, a high-speed disk array that distributes the metadirectory database over multiple spindles is recommend for optimal performance ! When selecting alternative HTTP and LDAP ports, select ports above 1024 Ports below 1024 are well-known port numbers It does not matter what port numbers you choose above 1024 ! When defining the MMS context prefix, use the DNS naming scheme In the lower levels of the directory tree, however, you can use X.500 and LDAP concepts such as organizations, organizational units, and localities However, for Active Directory compatibility, limit yourself to organizational units BETA MATERIALS FOR MICROSOFT CERTIFIED TRAINER PREPARATION PURPOSES ONLY 34 Module 2: Installing and Exploring MMS Review Topic Objective To reinforce module objectives by reviewing key points Lead-in The review questions cover some of the key concepts taught in the module ! Introduction to MMS Server and Clients ! Installing MMS Server ! Installing and Configuring MMS Compass ! Examining the Results of an MMS Installation ! Configuring MMS Server ! Uninstalling MMS ! Best Practices You have identified a computer in your enterprise environment that meets the minimum installation requirements for MMS Server You plan to install Windows 2000 Advanced Server on the computer in preparation for installing MMS Server What default installation option of Windows 2000 Advanced Server should you modify during the installation process of the operating system? Internet Information Server (IIS) IIS is a default option when installing Windows 2000 Advanced Server If IIS is installed on this computer, it will use TCP/IP port number 80 for HTTP requests When you install MMS, you will either need to assign a new HTTP port for the MMS Server HTTP service, change the port number used by IIS, or stop the IIS service on the computer Your company’s global namespace is currently based on the X.500 standard You are not currently using Active Directory, but are planning to implement it in the next twelve months Considering your plan to migrate to Active Directory, how should you design the context prefix for your MMS Server? You should model your context prefix after the Internet Naming Service, not the X.500 standard By doing this, it will be easier to integrate Active Directory with your MMS implementation when you migrate to Active Directory BETA MATERIALS FOR MICROSOFT CERTIFIED TRAINER PREPARATION PURPOSES ONLY Module 2: Installing and Exploring MMS 35 What is the simplest method of deploying MMS Compass in your organization for remote administration of the metadirectory? Using a Web browser and the Your Metadirectory Web page After you have installed MMS Server, notify any user who will be accessing the metadirectory to open the MMS Server by typing the server name in their Web browser’s address bar On the Your Metadirectory Web page, they will use the Install Compass link to install the client application For security purposes, you want to disable access to the MMS Server across the corporate network by using HTTP You do, however, want to permit access by using MMS Compass How can you configure this? Start MMS Server from the command line by typing VIAServer.exe with the run-time option –nohttp After installing MMS Server, you receive an error message that it is unable to load the server due to an LDAP port number conflict on port number 389 Where can you modify the LDAP port number used by MMS Server, and to what value would you change it? You can modify both the LDAP and HTTP port numbers in the System Registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\M MS Server\Parameters MMS Server recommends the alternate LDAP port number 390 during the Start Service phase of the installation process Otherwise, you can use any unused port number for this service During the MMS Server installation process you choose to not have the MMS Server start every time you start the server Now that you have completed your testing phase of the MMS rollout, you would like to configure MMS Server to start as a service every time the computer starts What command can you use to have the MMS Server service start automatically? SETUPSVC –autostart You have installed MMS Server on a test computer Now that you have deployed MMS in your production environment, you want to uninstall MMS Server from the test computer What must you before deleting the \ZOOMSERV folder on the hard disk to successfully uninstall MMS Server? Before you delete the program folder, you must first stop the MMS Server, and most importantly, remove the MMS Server service To remove the service, use the SETUPSVC –remove command BETA MATERIALS FOR MICROSOFT CERTIFIED TRAINER PREPARATION PURPOSES ONLY 36 Module 2: Installing and Exploring MMS BETA MATERIALS FOR MICROSOFT CERTIFIED TRAINER PREPARATION PURPOSES ONLY ...
