LAB 01 Deploying and Configuring Windows Server
Scenario
Contoso, Ltd. wants to implement several new servers in their environment, and they have decided to use Server Core.
They also want to implement Windows Admin Center for remote management of both these servers and other servers in
the organization.
Objectives
Lab setup
Password: Pa55w.rd
For this lab, you’ll use the available virtual machines, WS-011T00A-SEA-DC1-B and WS-011T00A-SEA-ADM1-B.
Scenario
As part of a deployment plan, you will implement Server Core and configure it for remote management. WS-011T00A-
SEA-SVR4-B is pre-configured to open from the Win2019_1809_Eval.iso to install Windows Server.
The main tasks for this exercise are as follows:
1. Set the DNS server to be 172.16.10.10. Leave the alternate DNS server blank.
3. Open PowerShell.
6. Run the Add-Computer -DomainName Contoso.com -Credential Contoso\Administrator -restart -force cmdlet.
Enter Pa55w.rd when prompted for credentials.
Task 3: Install Features on Demand on Server Core
2. Sign in as **Contoso*.
3. At the command prompt, run Explorer.exe. Note that command fails and returns an error.
4. Open PowerShell.
After completing this exercise, you will have installed Server Core, configured the networking settings, renamed the
server, and joined the Contoso domain. You will have also installed Features on Demand.
Exercise 2: Implementing and using remote server administration
Scenario
Now that you have deployed the Server Core servers, you need to implement Windows Admin Center for remote
administration.
The main tasks for this exercise are as follows:
1. Connect to WS-011T00A-SEA-ADM1-B.
2. Sign in as **Contoso*.
3. Open File Explorer and browse to C:01.
4. Double-click or select WindowsAdminCenter1910.2.msi, and then select Enter. Install Windows Admen Center
by accepting all the defaults.
Task 2: Add servers for remote administration
1. Open Settings.
7. Select DNS and install the DNS PowerShell tools. The tools will take a few moments to install.
1. Select Overview. Note that the details pane contains basic server information performance monitoring much like
Task Manager. In the left pane, observe the basic administration tools available.
2. Select Roles and Features and note what is installed and what is available to install.
1. Open PowerShell.
3. Run the Get-Service -Name AppIDSvc cmdlet. Note that the service is currently stopped.
5. Run the Get-Service -Name AppIDSvc cmdlet. The service is running now.
Results
After completing this exercise, you will have installed Windows Admin Center and connected the server to manage. You
performed management tasks of installing a feature and enabling Remote Desktop. Finally, you used Remote PowerShell
to check the status of a service and start a service.
