Welcome

Welcome to the growing community of Information Technology Professionals who are discovering the benefits of becoming a Field Certified Professional of the Field Certified Professionals Association (FCPA) of Silver Spring, Maryland.

This Field Certification Manual is the product of many long hours and revisions and beta testing. Its primary purpose is to guide you along the process necessary to pass your FCPA Field Exam and thus earn the FCSA/FCSE credential. Its secondary purpose is to help you pass your Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 OEM vendor exams to earn the MCSA/MCSE credentials.

This manual makes the assumption that you are preparing for both your Windows 2000/2003 MCSA/FCSA and MCSE/FCSE (all four certifications) as a "joint process." This requires that you possess some external textbook reading materials, and that you have the properly configured computer equipment to set up a small working "lab" at home or work.

Required Hardware and Textbooks

At a minimum you will need several computers: (1) Two Windows 2000 Servers and (2) One or two Windows 2000 Professional workstations. The workstations should be one desktop and one laptop, or two desktops.

The servers must be capable of handling RAID-1 and RAID-5 configurations so each of the servers will need to have two to five hard drives, and an ISA hardware RAID card capable of simultaneously handling both a RAID-1 mirror and RAID-5 striped set.

Note: Throughout this manual we will refer to all installations of Professional, whether W2K Professional or XP Professional as the "workstation" and W2K Server or 2003 Server as the "server" and Domain Controllers as "controllers" to help you differentiate between them. When necessary, we will further identify them as either "W2K" or "W2K3" and not by their store brand name.

Both servers will eventually become domain controllers during the process and then migrated from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003, as will the workstations. Each computer should be configured with a minimum of 512KB RAM.

A high-speed access to the Internet with a cable-modem or a DSL telephone connection is also required.

Introduction

W2K Professional and Server are a giant leap forward in technology from earlier legacy operating systems such as Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT 3.5x, Windows 3.1x, and Windows 9x. Over the last decade we have seen steady and dramatic improvements in the technology but with those improvements is the Herculean task of keeping abreast of the all the changes. In addition to keeping step with the dynamic nature of technology, one must also continue the unending task of keeping the network tuned, refined, and trouble free.

Maintenance of network security is a relentless task. It seems like every day on a corporate network a million things go wrong and the network administrator and/or engineer is supposed to have at their fingertips the requisite knowledge and expertise to fix all of them with a mere snap of his fingers!

Well it just doesn't work that way. Then how does it work?

Before we go any further it is necessary to take a few steps backward in an effort to acquire an adequate overview of a complex computer network and the stages of development necessary to make it function smoothly and with precision.

The Jigsaw Puzzle of Computer Networking

A computer network has been likened to a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle. As anyone who has attempted to assemble a puzzle knows, there is a clear process one uses. You just don't shake the box and throw the pieces out on the table and miraculously all the pieces just fall into their proper places. Instead, one should follow a few important steps, such as the following:

First, one must have in mind what the picture was supposed to look like when you got it all together. The picture on the puzzle box cover helped with this.

Second, one should take all the pieces out of the box and turn them all over.

Third, sort the pieces by color variation. While sorting them out, look for the pieces with the straight edges because they formed the framework of the puzzle.

Fourth, put the frame together, mostly by trial and error, but eventually you were successful.

Fifth, the painstaking process continues. You would scan over the remaining pieces looking for color variations, and bring all of them in one location. Constantly looking at the puzzle box cover and then trying one piece and the next until you started to work from one corner and then the next. In time, you would eventually work from all four corners and then you would also be simultaneously working on other sub-sections of the puzzle and inserting them into the framework. As you got each section completed the excitement grew as you knew you were beginning to see real results, and the picture was coming into view.

Finally, there were only a few pieces left and then the last piece would be inserted and it was done! You stepped back from the table and were justifiably proud of your work.

Everything we will do from this point forward is learning to assemble the jigsaw puzzle of computer networking!

Each of the remaining topics discussed have their place in the puzzle and for many people it is only when the puzzle is completed that they reach the great "ah-hah" moment and it all comes into focus and understanding. Computer networking is not rocket science. One need only stay with it and understand how each piece of the puzzle contributes to the whole.

So, a good question to always ask is this. "What does this piece do and why is it important?" Another good question is "Where would this be useful?" There are numerous books and study manuals to help you earn certification. They want you to think that there is only one way to do things on a computer network, so we need to address that issue first.

It's just not true! There is not just "one way" to do things. Unlike the OEM Vendor exams, which test only for memory and technically only allow one correct answer, in the real world your tasks as a Network Administrator or Network Engineer will be directed into achieving three main network administrative goals: keep the network operational; effectively manage the network; and maintain the security of the network. These goals are described in detail in the following paragraphs.

Keep the network OPERATIONAL!

Keep the network MANAGABLE!

Keep the network SECURE!

First, everything you do on a network has the end goal of keeping it operational and functional, and allowing those on the network to be productive. If users are unable to do their work, then you are simply not doing your job. If users are unable to log on, access resources, or work efficiently and trouble-free then you need to make that happen.

Second, your management of the network can help in the process immensely. There are many tools, tricks, and techniques to help you manage the network. You will need to know how all of these work, where to make the adjustments in the graphical user interfaces (GUI) of the Microsoft Management Consoles or MMC. The sooner you learn where all the "buttons to push" are, the easier your administration and management will be.

Finally, you need to keep the network secure, from both those on the outside of the network and those inside the network. Those inside the network will be your greatest task. More errors and problems arise not from someone attacking you from the outside but from insiders who are "exploring" and trying to make adjustments to the workstation by adding new screen-savers and downloading new games or visiting the wrong web sites, introducing computer viruses, taking confidential files home, forgetting to save files properly, or deleting the files they need. The list of insider "attacks" to the network is endless.

The problem is that the more you tighten the screws on security, the more it will impact the networks administration and manageability. The two factors are in constant tension. Like a playground "see-saw" your job as the network administrator/engineer is to keep security and manageability in proper balance.

The goal is to help you learn a process rather than just technical facts. In others words you need to learn countless facts and technical points of view, if you want to become OEM vendor certified. If you goal is higher than that and you desire to truly master this operating system, then there is one critical fact you must learn to do as soon as possible:

TO THINK!

Thinking is one thing that the other training methods don't teach you how to do. They give you materials prepared in advance and the goal has always been to master enough facts and technical information so you could pass the multiple-choice paper-certified written vendor exams. I want to tell you from the very beginning that is NOT what we are going to do in the training that lies ahead.

This manual is the work of many long hours of preparation. It has been "fine-tuned and tweaked" so many times (I personally can't remember how many times I have adjusted it). The reason for this is very simple: Employers want proven skills. Theory is great, but can you do it? Does the "rubber meet the road?" When all is said and done, you must be able to do more than just talk the talk. The training program you are about to begin will not only prepare you to pass the certification exams, but will give you real skills to master the process.

That's what it means to become a true Field Certified Professional.

The Medical Chart of Computer Networks

No one knows it all. The more I study and experiment with these operating systems the more I learn what to do and what not to do. Each time a problem occurs on your network you need to document it, and keep it in mind when the next problem arises.

Like a medical doctor you need to keep a "chart" of each patient on your network. Good documentation for each machine is vital to a smooth operation. You need to know everything about the machine, including its history and the problems each user has had on the machine. This information is used each time the machine is worked on in order to determine if any patterns develop. For example, "it always seems to have a problem when..."

It is also necessary to know the make and model of the hardware, the operating system, the service pack, the updates, the amount of memory, the speed of the processor, the hard drive free space, de-fragmentation history, disk quotas, off-line files, IRQ, device manager settings, BIOS settings, MAC address, IP address, DNS settings, and every other element of the system. The list can become quite detailed. When the machine "goes down" the more information you know about it, the faster it can be repaired. So keep a written documentation or medical chart on each machine in the network. You will be glad you did when a problem arises. When you make a repair, document it so that the next technician who works on it can review the history. Occasionally you will come back to fix something again, and you can review your notes and find out exactly what was done the last time. This can be a real time saver.

W2K/W2K3 can only be truly learned and mastered from an integrated perspective.

One does not master this operating system one piece at a time, but rather from all pieces at a time. Learning to integrate the knowledge of each piece into the whole is absolutely necessary. In this text, some information is delivered linearly, but we will always sprinkle in items from an integrated perspective as we move through. Knowledge of various elements and how they all interact, one with the other, is required so that when one change is made in one location, one can predict how it will affect the other elements. This technique creates a "sharper-edge" and helps you begin to THINK things through from beginning to end and then to bring it all together, allowing for a thorough understanding of what is happening on the network at any given time.

As with learning any skill, one can only learn so much in theory. Until you actually perform "hands-on" fieldwork, internships, or work experience, a complete understanding of the tasks and responsibilities is limited. Preparing for FCPA Field Certification is the best alternative to actual fieldwork because it forces you to "do it" over and over and over again. The old adage "practice makes perfect" is still sound and sage advice.

Field Certification takes it to the next level, as it is the process of integrating theory and practice together so that the individual can understand the concepts in an integrated fashion. In other words when the field certification is complete, you will have the ability to make it all work -- you CAN keep the network operational, manageable, and secure.

The Necessity of Design and Planning

Again, computer networks are like a jigsaw puzzle. When we put together a jigsaw puzzle we need to know where we are going or what we are attempting to build. To do this, we need to know about the pieces of the puzzle and then we need to start putting it together. First, we build the frame. Then we group the same color pieces together. Then we try to place a few pieces here and then there and see if "they fit." Over time, it all comes together and then we finally sit back and relish the moment of the finished puzzle. Let's try to break down the network puzzle into pieces.

The lesson is this. We must understand where we are going before we can get there.

W2K/W2K3 Infrastructure is best understood as the sum of all its parts. If we can understand the parts piece by piece, then when we put all the pieces together correctly we see the picture. It always starts out slow and sometimes frustratingly slow. However, persistence pays off. To put together the "W2K/W2K3 Puzzle," the first thing one needs to know is "What are all the pieces and what does the final picture look like. Then I need to plan out a strategy and find the tools to help me put it all together?"

Here are just some of the pieces of the computer network puzzle:

When approached in a logical fashion such as this, comprehension is obtained faster and retained longer. However, none of the pieces can really come together until we know where we are going. What is the overall design or finished goal of the process? The design of your computer network is critical to get to that blissful moment of completion. If the network design or foundation is faulty, then everything else that is built on top of it could collapse at any moment.

The superstructure is only as firm as the network design cornerstone. With Active Directory now a reality, adjusting the design is far easier then in days past. However, it is very easy to misstep and cause network disasters with the click of an icon or a command prompt.

In W2K/W2K3 networks, the integration of legacy systems can be challenging. Because outdated hardware and software applications may not function, or have limited functionality and the idea of network harmony can quickly be compromised. Having to keep outdated hardware and software functioning at acceptable levels and then integrating it all into one harmonious whole can be especially daunting. The key again is good design. The nice thing about W2K/W2K3 networks is that you can, with a little effort and forethought, create a good design and improve existing poor designs.

So what are the components of a good design? There are nine basic steps according to the W2K Professional Resource Kit (pp.64-65):

The efficiency and efficacy of your network will be largely determined by how well you plan, prepare, and execute those nine vital steps. To put it plainly, W2K/W2K3 networks should never simply be "hob-cobbled" together and then "fixed" later. If you have done your homework correctly in advance, the design, migration, or adjustment will go smoothly.

A good design begins with good record keeping and documentation and a network inventory. You cannot really begin until you know where you currently are, where you want to go, and what is necessary to arrive at the final destination. Documenting your existing computing network and then integrating in the new key components of an upgrade are fundamental. However, so many networks have scant documentation, often crippling technicians and other key support personnel when they need to make adjustments. One adjustment could cause more problems than it eliminates because there is no "master-plan" of the network.

The system administrator should have the following information on each machine:

One must also take into account differences in your organization, including the needs of executive management, accounting and other key departments, and of course the rank and file users at all levels. (See the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit Deployment Planning Guide, pp. 3-158. The Deployment Planning Guide has some excellent resources in Appendix A that will help you gather information for your migration and deployment..)

Hardware and software inventories of all servers and clients in your network should also be conducted. The software inventory should allow determination of what applications are out there and will they work with W2K/W2K3.

A successful administrator should always keep in mind that maintaining a production environment is the key issue here. If computers are down then staff is probably also idle and this means a significant time and money loss for the company. Remember your first responsibility is to keep the computer network operational.

The time and effort put into a good design methodology is not wasted whatsoever. In fact a good design strategy can save hours of time and keep budgets under control in the long run if executed correctly. In some ways, design before execution is a requirement. You can't build something unless you know what you are going to build!

This produces a proverbial "chicken and egg" concept. Good design requires knowing how all the parts work in a good design, but making all the parts work together well requires a good design. This is why I believe W2K/W2K3 must be taught from an integrated model whereby we simultaneously work through installation/configuration, administration/management, troubleshooting, and network migration and design. To teach or learn it in a "linear" model misses the point.

Only as we work through the issues in an integrated perspective, whereby we teach the operating system from a "holistic" perspective do we truly come to the great "A-Ha" moment when all things finally come together. Then, the jigsaw puzzle will be complete and we can look back and see all the pieces and exactly how they all fit together to form the whole. We will then have come full circle. Our task will be complete.

To that end, let us begin.

You should ALWAYS upgrade domain controllers, and other key servers such as DNS, DHCP, and file servers! You do not want to take the time to set up user accounts, profiles, settings, and DNS records, DHCP scopes, and data file stores on your file servers. That would be an enormous undertaking of time.

As in a Windows NT 4.0 to W2K upgrade you operate in "mixed" mode and then move to W2K native mode after all domain controllers are upgraded, you do the same in W2K3. Upgrade all your W2K domain controllers to W2K3 and then you can upgrade to the new native mode.

Another factor in the deployment of your servers is the placement of domain controllers as A/D Global Catalog (ADGC) holders. There should be one ADGC wherever there are branch locations of the company to speed up A/D searches and to facilitate logons in the branch so that authentication does not need to be transmitted over WAN links.
