As soon as you log in to your Windows 2003 server, the Windows Small Business Server Setup Wizard will launch (see Figure 4-6).
Figure 4-6.The wizard launches automatically the first time you log in.
If for any reason the Windows Small Business Server Setup Wizard does not start automat- ically, place Disk 1 of the your CD set (or DVD) into your optical drive and launch the wizard manually from the root of the disk. The file to launch is setup.exe, and you should click the option to Set Up Windows Small Business Server.
■Note
The Windows Small Business Server Setup Wizard is a program designed to streamline the installa- tion of the separate components of the SBS 2003 suite. If you have not already done so, this would be a good time to create your application and data disks (D: and E:). You will be able to specify these hard disk locations to the Setup Wizard so you don’t have to do this manually later.The wizard starts by scanning your hardware to check once again that your system is pre- pared to accept all the components of the SBS 2003 software suite. You will be presented with the results in the form of a list of informational warnings, and in some cases, if you have overlooked some essential prerequisite of the SBS 2003 software suite, the installation will be blocked.
It might seem very late in the day to be stopping the installation from proceeding, but as long as you’ve done your homework and followed all the advice laid out in this book, you won’t come across any problems.
The most common warning message you’ll see when installing SBS 2003 is that there is only a single network interface card installed in the system. Many customers will already have a secure Internet interface on their network and won’t be using SBS 2003 as their Internet gateway device. In this case a single network card might be sufficient.
■Note
If you are intending to use ISA Server as your Internet gateway, you will be required to have two network cards: one for the internal network and one for accessing the Internet. If you have only one network card at this time, you’ll need to install one later. Having two NICS is the recommended approach, and this is upheld throughout the existing SBS 2003 user community.If you have not added the minimum amount of memory or disk space to your server, the installation routine will halt. You will not be able to proceed until you have rectified this problem.
■Note
If you can purchase more memory and install it at this point, you could try running the Windows Small Business Server Setup Wizard again from the root of the installation media. This will stop you from having to go right back to the start of the Windows 2003 installation.Use the following guidelines when running through the Windows Small Business Server Setup Wizard:
1. After the system scan completes and the wizard starts properly, you are presented with the Company Information dialog box. Type in your contact phone number, fax num- ber, and business address, and select the region where your business is located. Make sure you get this right the first time because this information is inherited into the Active Directory. Click Next to continue.
2. The following screen is the Internal Domain Information screen (see Figure 4-7), where you enter the domain name assigned internally to your business. This might be the domain name as represented on the Internet (although this is not recommended for various reasons, including security), or might simply be the naming system used inter- nally to define users and computer resources. The best domain name is something meaningful to your business, such as the business name itself, and it will be suffixed with .localto keep it separate from any external naming conventions.
■Note
If you are planning to connect any Macintosh OS 10.x clients into your network, the .localcon- vention should be avoided.3. The NetBIOS name (used for communicating with legacy clients, such as Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 9x) should be the same as the first part of your domain name (as long as it is fewer than 15 characters) or a truncated version of the DNS name if the domain name is too long. In the example shown in Figure 4-7, the domain name is
ProcyonServices.localand the NetBIOS name is PROCYONSERVICES.
■Note
The .localextension to your DNS name keeps your system logically separate from any external names. The .localextension is added to the DNS name automatically by the Setup Wizard.Do not remove it.You can subsequently connect to the Internet and register a .comaddress for your business at a later date. This .comaddress can be used as your email domain name (this is covered in more detail in Chapter 7).Figure 4-7.Enter your business domain name and server name.
Finally, you enter the computer name. If you’ve followed the guidelines in Chapter 3, you should have already decided on your computer-naming convention, so this should be no problem. In my case I’ve stuck to a simple, no-nonsense naming convention and opted for using the purpose of the server to allocate its name: SBS. Click Next to continue.
4. You are now presented with the Local Network Adapter Configuration dialog box (see Figure 4-8). If you are using more than one network card, make sure to highlight the network interface you are using for your local network connectivity. Then click Next to continue. At this stage, you should rename your NICs (as long as you have two) Inter- nal and External. This will help you identify them easier in the future when you set up your Internet connection.
Figure 4-8.Configure TCP/IP parameters for your SBS server.
■Warning
Selecting the wrong NIC as your internal network card will cause you serious problems and should be avoided at all cost. Double-check that you have selected the correct card before clicking Next. Start a command prompt by clicking the Start menu, selecting Run, and then typing cmd.exein the data entry box. At the prompt, type ipconfig/alland press Enter. This information will help you identify the NICs installed in your system.5. The next screen is used to configure your internal network interface card’s TCP/IP parameters. You should have already decided on the best IP addressing regime for your business during the planning phase, so simply enter the IP address and subnet mask you are using for this server. You will probably (as I have) use a private IP address range, in the 192.168.x.x address space.
■Warning
It’s a good idea to confirm that this range is not already in use by any of your existing equip- ment, such as Wi-Fi bridges, routers, and so on.6. The subnet mask in my example shown in Figure 4-8 is 255.255.255.0. If you are using the SBS 2003 server as the DHCP service for allocating IP addresses to the clients on your network, make sure to exclude the address of your server from the pool of addresses the server can allocate. No two machines on your network can have the same IP address.
■Note
If you already have an existing system using DHCP to allocate IP addresses, the installer will recom- mend that you disable this. The DHCP service can then be taken over by your SBS 2003 server. As a rule, SBS 2003 must be your DHCP server to stop any network conflicts from occurring and to ensure that addresses are both allocated properly and registered properly in DNS.7. The next stage of the installation is automatic. The installer configures the Active Directory based on the DNS domain name you chose in step 2. The DNS service for name resolution is also installed and activated, and your SBS 2003 server is registered in the database. After a while, the system will have to reboot. To make things easier, you can instruct the installation program to remember your password for the duration of the setup so you don’t have to keep logging in each time the system power cycles.
