Windows Server Infrastructure Deployment And Management

Adding Features on a Nano Server

This is important to deploy a DNS into a Nano server as it is scalable and the workload can be divided into parts across different DNS server (Jalalzai et al., 2015). The way in which deploying a DNS server will lead to enhancement of the services includes:

• More than two servers are allowed to serve as redundant authorities for same domain. Clients are allowed to ask for the records from any domain name server.
• Authority provided to the subdomains can be delegated
• Cache only name is used to reduce the query traffic by combining the results from recent queries.  
• DSC on Nano server is used as an optional package and this package can be installed when the user creates a VHD for Nano Server.

In order to create a Nano server within a virtual machine, the user needs to go through this steps:

• First the user needs to copy Nano server Image Generator .ps1 and convert windows Image .ps1 from a Nano server folder stored within the windows server technical preview ISO (He et al., 2016).
• After these the user needs to start a window power shell as an administrator and then the user needs to change the directory to the folder after placing these scripts and importing the Nano serve image generator script with the use of import module .

In order to deploy a website, it is necessary to follow this steps:

1. The user needs to write the code and organize in a file that will help in developing the website.
2. The developed code than needs to be displayed online so that people can easily get to the codes.
3. After all these steps, it is important to have a file transfer protocol program for transferring the website files over different servers (Otsuka & Sato, 2015).
4. After these the program will show the local files stored in the web server. The user now can transfer them between two windows.

Once the website is being deployed it becomes essential to secure the website. In order to secure the developed website the user needs to include the following steps :

1. Host should be assigned with a dedicated IP address.
2. Buy a certificate
3. Getting access to these certificate by activating this
4. Installing the certificate
5. Updating the developed site for using HTTPS.

The main advantage of using Hyper- V containers is that it allows the application defined base image to create a virtual machine with the use of base image. The function of the virtual machine is to encapsulate the libraries, binaries and actual application within the windows container. With the use of multiple Hyper- V container there is no need to create a VM management for utilizing the common basic image (Sun et al. 2016). With implementing Docker within the server it will get easier to create, run, deploy and manage the resources for containers. This is a light weight and also boots up the working of the container in a second. With implementing docker it gets easier to manage the resources.

In order to check whether the server is working properly or not, it is necessary to check through following steps. This includes: the user needs to open up the task manager and check if Imgrd. Exe is running or not. After the user can telnet to port at the serve to check whether the server machine is up and running properly (Costa et al.2016). After these the user can go to start run and type cmd and after that hitting enter.

In order to upgrade windows server 2012R2 to windows server 2016 there are two options available:

Option 1: installing the windows server 2016 on a new machine and introducing the server to its existing cluster and moving the roles and remove the old 2012R2 node. The user needs to perform this task until all the nodes in the cluster are of 2016 machines. The last step is to raise the cluster functionally level to 2016.

Option 2: this option includes selecting a node that the user wants to upgrade than drain the roles. After this evicting the node and perform in place upgrade from 2012R2 to 2016. Once the up gradation is done the user needs to introduce the upgraded node back to cluster. The user needs to perform all the steps in a repetitive manner until all the noes in the cluster are for 2016 machines (Yang et al. 2014). Finally last step includes raising the cluster functionally level to 2016.

In order to replicate the server 01 to the secondary site the user can implement following steps:

• By installing Veema backup and replication to the virtual machine.
• As with installing this software the compression gets high thus it becomes essential to use best compression and a powerful CPU.
• Regarding the configuration and schedule for replicating the server into secondary site, it is important to sure about the initial replica on removal storage.
• In situation where the vCentre of RSX hosts is not working properly, the task will be incomplete but there is a way to repair this process by running the task in next time.
• The destination can be changed whenever the user want to change it
• The user can group the task or use single jobs for VMs to replicate.

It is examined that there are basically two kinds of authentication protocol that is available for live migration on Non clustered virtual machines, this are:

• User credential security support provider
• User Kerberos

This kind of error occurs only when the user fails to select both source and remote computer for performing the live migration. The user needs to select use credential security support provider protocol (Berger & Serre, 2016). In case the user fails to sign in both the computer while performing live migration it will show error “Failed to establish a connection with host Server01: No credentials are available in the security package (0x8009030E)”. In order to resolve the problem changing the delegation from use kerberos only to use any authentication protocol.
