Module Strategy
Use the following strategy to present this module:
Preparing for Installation
In this section present the issues students must consider before they install
Windows 2000. First, present information on the Windows 2000 suite of
operating systems, present the system requirements, and then present
information on partitioning the hard disk. After this, present the different
file system options. Emphasize that the NTFS file system is the
recommended file system for Windows 2000. Then, present the information
on licensing modes. Emphasize that they can change from Per Server to Per
Seat once at no charge. Therefore, if they have doubts on which to use, they
should choose Per Server.
Next, present information on the network types: workgroup or domain.
Make sure they clearly understand where the user accounts are stored in a
workgroup and domain and how this affects gaining access to resources. If
they are unclear, use the whiteboard to illustrate the differences. In addition,
present the information on the computer and user accounts required when
joining a domain. Finally, present the pre-installation checklist.
Installing Windows 2000 Professional from a Compact Disc
In this section you will use the Windows 2000 Professional Simulation to
demonstrate the installation. First, present the tasks for running the Setup
program. Mention to the student that if they do not have a bootable
CD-ROM drive, they can start the computer from the Startup disks. In
addition, mention that a simulation of the Windows 2000 Professional
installation is on the Student Materials compact disc. Then, present the tasks
for completing the Setup wizard. Finally, present the tasks on installing
network components.
Installing Windows 2000 Advanced Server from a Compact Disc
First, present the tasks for running the Setup program. Then, present the
tasks for completing the Setup wizard. Next, present the tasks for installing
network components. Finally, present information on configuring the server.
Upgrading to Windows 2000 Professional
First, present information on the different upgrade paths. Mention that
Windows 3.1 cannot be upgraded directly to Windows 2000 Professional,
but must be upgraded to Windows 95 or Windows 98 first. Then, present the
more detailed information on upgrading from Windows 95 and
Windows 98. Mention that Windows 2000 can generate compatibility
reports.
Next, present more detailed information on upgrading Windows NT®
Workstation version 3.1 or 4.0. Emphasize the easiest upgrade path to
Windows 2000 Professional. Finally, present information on installing the

Important Microsoft supports only those devices that are listed on the HCL. If
you have hardware that is not on this list, contact the hardware manufacturer to
determine if there is a manufacturer-supported driver for the component that is
Windows 2000 compliant.

compact disc.
When you are performing a new installation from a compact disc, the Setup
program examines the hard disk to determine its existing configuration, and
offers the following options:
A new partition on an unpartitioned hard disk. If the hard disk is
unpartitioned, you can create and size the Windows 2000 partition.
A new partition on a partitioned hard disk. If the hard disk is partitioned, but
has enough unpartitioned disk space, you can create the Windows 2000
partition in the unpartitioned space.
Install on existing partition. If the hard disk has an existing partition that is
large enough, you can install Windows 2000 on that partition. If there is an
operating system on an existing partition, performing a new installation
overwrites that operating system.
Delete existing partition. If the hard disk has an existing partition, you can
delete it to create more unpartitioned disk space for the Windows 2000
partition. Deleting an existing partition also erases any data on that partition.
If you select a new partition during Setup, create and size only the partition on

File encryption. NTFS allows you to transparently encrypt file data.
Windows 2000 and Windows NT are the only operating systems that can access
data on a local hard disk that is formatted with NTFS.
NTFS provides file-level security, while FAT and FAT32 do not; therefore, it is
recommended that you use NTFS as the file system.
Note A dual boot configuration allows you to choose between two or more
operating systems each time you restart the computer. When the operating
system starts, a display appears for a specified number of seconds, allowing you
to select between the operating systems.
Module 1: Installing or Upgrading to Windows 2000 9
The FAT file system does not support partitions larger than 2 GB. If you
attempt to format a partition larger than 2 GB with FAT, Setup automatically
formats the partition with FAT32.
Note You can do a one-way conversion of a FAT partition to NTFS after the
installation. However, it is recommended that you configure the NTFS security
permissions after the conversion to increase the security of the NTFS partition.

Exercise 1
Installing Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Scenario
Your company, Northwind Traders, needs to set up a server in the domain.
Goal
In this exercise, you will install Windows 2000 Advanced Server from a compact disc. As part of
the installation, you will create a 2-gigabyte (GB) partition formatted as an NTFS partition. The
default settings will be used for everything except the computer name and TCP/IP settings. You
will configure the computer name and TCP/IP settings using the chart at the beginning of this
exercise. First, you install the server as a member of a workgroup named workgroup, and then you
join the server to the domain named nwtraders.msft.

Which licensing mode should you choose if you have one server running Windows 2000, 20 client
computers, and the need for no more than five concurrent connections?
Per Server.
Which licensing mode should you choose if you have five servers running Windows 2000, 20 client
computers, and the need for all client computers to be concurrently connected to all servers?
Per Seat.
Which licensing mode should you select if users in your organization require frequent access to multiple
servers? Why?
Per Seat. The Per Seat licensing mode requires the least number of licenses when users make
connections to multiple servers. Per Server licensing requires a license for each concurrent connection
to the server. Per Server is the best option for organizations in which users make connections to only
one server.

Disconnect serial cables to UPS. Disconnect the serial cable that connects
any uninterruptible power supply (UPS) devices. Windows 2000 Advanced
Server will attempt to automatically detect devices connected to serial ports,
which can cause problems with UPS equipment.
Reserve IRQs for non-Plug and Play ISA devices. If your system contains
non-Plug and Play Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) devices, set your
system BIOS (basic input/output system) to reserve all IRQs (interrupt
requests) currently in use by non-Plug and Play ISA devices. Failure to do
so may result in the error message INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. In
some cases, the non-Plug and Play ISA devices may not function.
After you complete the preparation tasks and back up your critical files and
settings, you can begin the Windows 2000 installation procedure. The
installation procedure for upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server is
similar to the procedure for a new installation. Refer to the installation
procedure that was presented previously in the module to complete the upgrade
process.

Identifying Setup Errors
1. Your small organization’s network consists of only five computers, with one
computer running Windows 2000 Advanced Server and the rest running
Windows 2000 Professional. The data used in your company requires a high
degree of security. What decisions should you make regarding file system
and licensing mode?
Because a high degree of security is needed, each computer should be
using the NTFS file system. The licensing mode could be either Per Seat
or Per Server.
4. You have a server running Windows NT 3.5. Can this server be upgraded to
Windows 2000? If so, what is the upgrade path?
Yes. You must first upgrade to Windows NT Server 3.51 or 4.0, and
then upgrade to Windows 2000.
