For optimal viewing of our eBooks, we recommend you download and install the free Adobe Reader version 9. To make use of RDCM all you need to do is launch it, create a new group (saved as an RDG file), and start adding servers to it. The /shutdown switch is also very important because we want this master server to become sysprepped and then immediately shut down so that we can create our master image from it. No need to install a management tool or application onto your workstation—simply sit down and tap into it with a URL. I assume that a lot of you, as IT professionals, are also the de facto neighborhood computer guru, constantly asked by friends and family to fix or rebuild their computers.

From here, you can choose the servers that you want to manage and move them over to the Selected column on the right, as shown in Figure 2.

This problem exacerbates itself in domain environments, where it is even more important that each system within your network has a unique SID/GUID—their identifier within Active Directory. We will expand upon versions and licensing models for this OS, and explore the 'single pane of glass' administration methodology by utilizing tools like Server Manager, PowerShell, and even Windows Admin Center. So, anyway, we will not focus on an automated approach to server rollouts, but rather we will do a few minutes of extra work on our very first server, which then results in saving numerous minutes of setup work on every server that we build afterward.

Each setting or installation that you can do now that is universal to your batch of servers will save you from having to take that step on your servers in the future.Using Server Manager on a single server to manage and monitor all of your servers is pretty handy, but what if we could take one more step out of that process? Thanks to Krause's book, I was able to build a virtualized network with all the server machines running Windows Server 2022 and some internal IIS servers deploying DNS-over-HTTPS. Once the USB DVD Download Tool is installed, launch the application and simply walk through the four-step wizard.

Now is also the time to let Windows Update install and to put any patches on this new server that you want to have installed on all of your new servers in the future. Install the operating system and make sure device drivers are all squared away and you’re ready for the next step. This is a large collection of poignant snippets and links to articles on so many hot topics today including AI security, trust, privacy, billion attacks, and raccoon management. I know from personal experience what it looks like to help someone recover their domain after a domain controller’s hard drive was simply copied, pasted, and turned on as a second server.

In these cases, you need to be aware of the requirements for this new platform, so let us take a minute to list those specifics. In some cases, you may have originally intended only to add a particular feature, and in these cases, you would have bypassed the Server Roles screen altogether and gone immediately to the Features installation screen. At the beginning of this chapter, we walked through the process of installing the Windows Server 2022 operating system onto your new server. After completing checkout and payment in the normal way, you will receive your receipt on the screen containing a link to a personalised PDF download file. ISO file the correct way onto the DVD, making it a bootable installation media for your new server, as shown in Figure 2.
