Windows XP Professional
• A client is a computer that accesses resources
on another computer.
• A workstation is a computer with its own CPU.
• XP Professional is the client workstation most
compatible with Windows Server 2003.
– Achieves a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than
other operating systems.
– Features automatic installation and configuration
controlled by Windows Server 2003.
– Compatible with Active Directory, a management
database.

12
Scalability and Compatibility
• Scales to multiple processors.
• Supports multiple user connections.
– Up to 15,000 in the Standard Edition.
• Compatible with many different operating
systems and platforms.
– IBM, Novell, UNIX, Linux, Banyan, DEC,
Macintosh.

13
Reliability
• Kernel runs in privileged mode.
• Legacy applications run within a virtual DOS
machine.
• Multitasking support
– Ability to run multiple programs at the same time

• Recovery from system configuration
errors.
• Protection from power outages.
• Advanced warning about system and
hardware problems.
15
Planning a Windows Server
2003 Networking Model
• Networks are communications systems linking
computers and their resources.
– Physically connected by cables or wireless devices.
– Can be local or worldwide.
• Windows Server 2003 implements two types of
networks.
– Peer-to-peer networking spreads administration
among all members.
– Server-based networking centralizes the network
administration.

16
17
Peer-to-peer Networking
• Designed for ten or less workstations.
• Only moderate network security.
– Users manage their own account information.
• No centralized storage of information.
• No centralized administration control.
– Lack of management for users and critical files.
– Inability to centrally back up important files.
• Slower response times when sharing resources.

18
19
Server-based Networking
• Users log in once to access resources.
• Stronger security because of server
management.
• Shared files by members.
• Shared printers and other resources.
• E-mail capability through an e-mail server.

20
Server-Based Networking (cont.)
• Applications stored in a central location.
• Backups scheduled and performed from a
central location.
• Shared resources can reflect the work
patterns of subgroups.
• More efficient software upgrades .

21
22
Protocols for the Windows
Server 2003 Networking Model
• A protocol is a set of communication guidelines
for the following:
– Formatting data into packets and frames.
– Transmitting packets and frames across networks.
– Interpreting packets and frames at the receiving end.
• The Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) suite is most widely used.
– Used for Internet communication.
– Designed as an open standard.
– Connects computers running almost any OS.
23
Internet Protocol
• Provides network addressing.
• Routes data over different networks
– A router reads IP addresses and forwards
packets to the appropriate network.
• Handles fragmented packets
• Connectionless
– Relies on TCP to provide connection-oriented
communication.

Summary
• The Windows Server 2003 platforms
– Standard Edition
– Web Edition
– Enterprise Edition
– Datacenter Edition
• Windows Server 2003 features
– Scalable
– Efficient

27
Summary
• Two types of networking models
– Peer-to-peer
– Server-based
• TCP/IP
– Default protocol installed with Windows Server 2003
– Required by Active Directory
– Suite of protocols and utilities
– Enables communication across local and wide area
networks

28
Summary
• IP addressing
– Unique address for each computer
– Consists of a network identifier and a host
identifier
– Has an associated subnet mask
• IP address configuration
– Static
– Automatic using APIPA or dynamic
addressing through DHCP
