BETA MATERIALS FOR MICROSOFT CERTIFIED TRAINER PREPARATION PURPOSES ONLY

Multiple Forests Model
The classroom is configured in the multiple forests model, as shown in the
following graphic.

Each computer in the classroom has Windows 2000 Advanced Server installed.

Six of the student computers – Vancouver, Lisbon, Bangalore, Lima,
Casablanca, and Perth – are domain controllers for their respective domains.
The remaining student computers are members servers in their domains.

Student computers must be installed in blocks of four, per domain
grouping. For example, if you have five students enrolled in the class you must
install 8 computers. You would install all of the computers in North America
and Europe domains.


The labs are written to work in domain teams. Please physically locate
of all the computers together in a single domain.

Setup Instructions
Use the following procedures to prepare each computer for class.

The instructor computer (London) must be set up completely before
you begin setting up the student computers. Student computer setup occurs over
the network by using file shares that are created on the instructor computer.

Before You Begin
You will need to do the following:
!
Read through all setup procedures.

!
Make sure that you have the Trainer Materials compact disc that is provided
with the course materials.
!
Prepare a Microsoft MS-DOS
®
system disk and a network boot disk.

MS-DOS System Disk
To set up the instructor computer, you must have an MS-DOS system disk. This
disk must include the following:
!
MS-DOS system files.
!
MS-DOS drivers for the CD-ROM drive of the instructor computer.
!
Xcopy.exe, Xcopy32.exe, and Xcopy32.mod. These files must be located
either on the root of the system disk or in a location that is specified in the
MS-DOS path statement in the Autoexec.bat file.
!
Smartdrv.exe and Himem.sys. Running Smartdrv.exe dramatically increases
the performance of the file copying process that occurs during the initial
phase of setup. With Smartdrv loaded, this process generally takes 30
minutes or less. Without Smartdrv, it may take several hours.


Some computers can use Microsoft Windows 98 startup disks, which
include drivers for most CD-ROM drives.

Network Boot Disk

Setup of the student computers takes place over the network. As a result, you
must have an MS-DOS system disk that includes drivers for network adapters
in the student computers. In addition, the network boot disk must include the
Xcopy.exe, Xcopy32.exe, and Xcopy32.mod files either on the root of the
system disk or in a location that is specified in the MS-DOS path statement in
the Autoexec.bat file.
The batch files that are used to set up the student computers require a large
amount of MS-DOS environment space. Therefore, it is recommended that you
include the following line in the Config.sys file on the boot disk:
Shell = a:\command.com /p /e:1024

Windows 2000 does not include a utility for creating network boot disks.

Setup Overview
Read this section before you begin configuring the computers. Failure to follow
the instructions in this Classroom Setup Guide will cause the labs to fail.
These setup instructions provide you with automated installation procedures.
Following the automated installation, you must complete the post-installation
configuration procedure. If you cannot complete an automated installation of
the software, you can follow the manual procedures in the Manual Classroom
Setup Guide on the Trainer Materials compact disc. It is very important that you
allocate enough time for a manual installation if you are not sure that the
automated installation will work in your environment.

Verify that the classroom is set up correctly by referring to the
Classroom Setup Checklist section in this guide.

Estimated time to set up the classroom: 4 hours

compact discs into your compact disc drive. This will enable the installation
files from these compacts discs to be copied to the hard disk on the London
computer.

Microsoft Office 2000 is installed in quiet mode so that nothing
will appear on the screen during the installation. Wait for the background
setup to complete. The hard drive will be working during this time. Do not
interrupt the setup.

process is complete, Setup begins installing Windows 2000 Advanced
Server.

If any of the student computers completes setup before any other
student computer copies the Windows 2000 files from the instructor
computer installation will fail in DOS with a “Bad Command or File Name”
error. This happens because the Windows 2000 source folder is renamed
during the setup of the student computer. To resolve this error remain the
C:\setup\i386 directory on the instructor computer to C:\setup\winsrc and

re-run mocset.bat

12. Remove the network boot disk from the floppy disk drive.
