4 Classroom Setup Guide
Single Domain/Workgroup Model
The classroom is configured in the single domain/workgroup model, as shown
in the following graphic.
The instructor computer (London) has Windows 2000 Advanced Server
installed as a domain controller in the classroom domain, nwtraders.msft. Each
student computer is installed as a stand-alone server in the Workgroup
workgroup.
Classroom Setup Guide 5
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.

6 Classroom Setup Guide
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 both automated and manual
installation procedures and automated configuration procedures. If you
complete the automated installation, the configuration is also completed
automatically. 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. Following a manual installation, you
must complete the post-installation configuration procedure. 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: 3 hours
