Want to build an enterprise network? which can accomodate multiple user? n offcourse we can’t forget the security factor.
I have some hints to build a network like that using windows server 2003 with several software installed to perform much reliable, secure network.
First i’ll explain about the feature of windows server 2003, Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Family have 3 version, Standar Edition, Enterprise Edition and Data Senter Edition. each version have same ability but have a few different on hardware support.for small use the standar edition may be the best choice, but if you have large type or enterprise server you can use the enterprise or Data center edition to support much more cpu, RAM and storage.
The Next, the main feature use often @ a network with multiple user : * Active Directory * DNS (Domain Name System) * DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) * File Sharing * Terminal Server * Windows Service Update Server
With 3rd party software from Symantec we can deliver an integrated anti-virus management system @ the network, @this hints i will use Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition for easier update n install.
To build this kind of network i’ll show the step by step to build it.:* Preparing the Server: - Choose Server Edition that match your requirements - Just Install it till finish. n offcourse use the original software from Microsoft ( @ this point i use Windows from MCA/ Microsoft Campus Agreement) - Install all driver needed - Patch it with an uptodate Patch System. @ this moment Microsoft has released SP2 for Windows Server 2003* Just Write down your requirement* Installing The Features: Active Directory DNS if u decide to install this feature, u must install it in pair, u can’t install just one of it, because the Active Directory need a DNS Server to management the workstation, but if u decide not to install active directory u still can install the DNS. Some keyword @ Active Directory Installation: * Forest * Tree * Domain Name
