Windows Server 2008 : Recovering Role Services and Features (part 2) - System State Recovery for Domain Controllers

Performing a System State recovery for a domain controller is similar to the recovery of a member server, but a few more options are presented during the selection process and the domain controller needs to be booted into Directory Services Restore mode.

Windows Server 2008 : Recovering Role Services and Features (part 1)

Each particular role on a Windows Server 2008 R2 system can have very specific backup and recovery procedures. As a general rule, though, performing full backups using Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows Server Backup will enable the restore of a system to a previous point in time, including restoring all Windows Server roles, role services, features, and configuration to that previously backed-up state

Windows Server Backup Volume Recovery (part 3) - System Volume Recovery Using Network Shared Folder Backups

If the backup data is stored on a network shared folder, alternate recovery steps are required to restore the system volume. If recovering a system volume from a network shared folder

Windows Server Backup Volume Recovery (part 2) - Windows Server 2008 R2 System Volume Recovery

Restoring a system volume cannot be performed using Windows Server Backup. System volumes can only be restored using the Windows recovery environment from the Windows installation media

Windows Server Backup Volume Recovery (part 1) - Windows Server 2008 R2 Data Volume Recovery

When an entire disk or disk volume has been corrupted or has failed and needs to be replaced and recovered, Windows Server Backup can be used to restore the disk or volume

Managing and Accessing Windows Server Backup Media

Microsoft has completely changed the way backups and backup media are managed with the release of Windows Server 2008. In previous editions of Windows Server versions, the NT Backup utility could back up the entire system or just a set of folders and files.

Windwos Server 2008 : Recovering from a Server or System Failure (part 3)

When permissions seem to be configured correctly but an end user still cannot properly access a folder or file within a folder because of group membership or some other factor

Windwos Server 2008 : Recovering from a Server or System Failure (part 2) - Enabling Auditing for NTFS Folders

Enabling auditing on an NTFS folder can be a helpful aid in troubleshooting access to server folders. Enabling auditing for NTFS folders is a two-part configuration involving either Group Policy or local computer policy audit settings, as well as configuring auditing on the folder itself.

Windwos Server 2008 : Recovering from a Server or System Failure (part 1)

When a failure or issue is reported regarding a Windows Server 2008 R2 system, the responsible administrator should first perform the standard validation tests to verify that there is a real issue.

Windows Server 2008 Server Core : Working with the Remote Desktop Connection Application (part 2)

The display settings you use affect how much screen real estate you have for performing tasks and also affect performance. Using a larger screen size gives you more space to work.

Windows Server 2008 Server Core : Working with the Remote Desktop Connection Application (part 1)

The Remote Desktop Connection application provides the means to connect to Server Core for remote management. You only need this application when you want to access the command prompt on Server Core.

Windows Server 2008 Server Core : Understanding Internal and External Commands

Some commands don't exist in separate files; they reside in the host program that you use to interact with the computer. The host program for the command prompt is CMD.EXE. If you want to try it out, type CMD and press Enter.

Windows Server 2008 : Working with NAP (part 8) - 802.1x Enforcement

IEEE 802.1x standards define an effective framework for controlling and authenticating clients to a wired or wireless protected network—in this case a NAP infrastructure. These standards define port-based authentication on supported devices

Windows Server 2008 : Working with NAP (part 7)

IPsec enforcement breaks a network down to three different logical networks by using health certificates provided by the Health Certificate Server (HCS). Any computer can be a member of only one of the three networks at any given time—membership to the network is determined by the status of the computers health certificate.

Windows Server 2008 : Working with NAP (part 6)

Health Policies check the client for compliance via the system health validators (SHVs). If you recall from earlier in this chapter, we discussed Windows Security Health Validator (WSHV). These SHVs are the ones provided with Windows 2008 Server, Windows Vista or Windows XP Service Pack 3.

Windows Server 2008 : Working with NAP (part 5)

NAP Health Policies are a combination of settings for health determination and enforcement of infrastructure compliance. Health requirement policies on the NAP health policy server determine whether a NAP client is compliant or noncompliant, how to treat noncompliant NAP clients and whether they should automatically remediate their health state, and how to treat clients that are not NAP capable for different NAP enforcement methods.

Windows Server 2008 : Working with NAP (part 4) - Communication Process with VPN Client and NAP

When a Windows Vista or Windows XP Service Pack 3 computer connects to a NPS server that is NAP enabled, the communication process is a little different than a normal VPN connection.

Windows Server 2008 : Working with NAP (part 3) - DHCP Enforcement

In this exercise we are going to implement the DHCP and NPS server roles on the server NPS1. We will then configure NAP with the wizard and also configure the SHVs that will force any connecting client using DHCP to be network compliant.

Windows Server 2008 : Working with NAP (part 2)

The NAP Health Policy Server is the heart of the NAP-supported network infrastructure. The NAP Health Policy Server runs Windows 2008 Server and has the NPS server role installed. The NPS server role is responsible for storing health requirement policies and provides health state validation for NAP.

Windows Server 2008 : Working with NAP (part 1)

The NAP platform main objective is to validate the state of a client computer before connecting to the private network and offer a source of remediation. To validate access to a network based on system health, NAP provides the following areas of functionality

Windows Server 2008 : Configuring Remote Access (part 6)

Windows Server 2008 features a variety of inbound and outbound features that you will need to be able to implement for your exam. The old version of Windows Firewall has been upgraded and is now called Windows Firewall with Advanced Security (WFAS).

Windows Server 2008 : Configuring Remote Access (part 5) - Virtual Private Networks

VPNs use public wires to join nodes to create a network. This network allows the user to create their own private networks for the transfer of data. There are a large number of security systems at play within the VPN, such as encryption and other security measures

Windows Server 2008 : Configuring Remote Access (part 4)
