Unpartitioned Hard Disk
Install on Existing Partition
Create New Partition on
Partitioned Hard Disk
Delete Existing Partition to Make Disk
Space Available


If you are performing a new installation, you need to plan your disk partitions
before running the Setup program. Disk partitioning is a way of dividing your
hard disk so that each section functions as a separate unit. When you create
partitions on a disk, you divide the disk into one or more areas that can be
formatted for use by a file system, such as NTFS file system, FAT, or FAT32.
Planning Disk Partitions

When planning disk partitions for installing Windows 2000, you need to keep
the following points in mind:
1. If you select a new partition during Setup, create and size only the partition
on which you will install Windows 2000 Advanced Server. After you install
Windows 2000 Advanced Server, use Disk Management to partition
remaining space on the hard disk. The disk partition on which you are
installing Windows 2000, must have at least 1 MB of unallocated space so
that you can convert it to dynamic storage later. Dynamic storage allows
you to dynamically resize volumes and to create striped volumes and
redundant array of independent disks (RAID)-5 volumes.
2. If you are performing a new installation on a disk partition that contains
applications that you want to keep, you need to make backups of the
applications before starting the installation process. After installing
Windows 2000 Advanced Server, you can reinstall the applications.
3. If you plan to delete or create partitions on a hard disk, be sure to back up
the disk contents beforehand because these actions will destroy any existing
data. It is recommended that you back up the entire contents of the hard disk
before working with partitions.


Do not install Windows 2000 Advanced Server on a compressed drive
unless the partition was compressed with the NTFS file system compression
utility.

Slide Objective
To illustrate the disk
partition options for
Windows 2000 Advanced
Server.
Lead-in

There are four disk partition
options.
Delivery Tip
The slide shows the four
disk partitioning options.
Each illustration represents
the state of a hard disk
before and after the option
is applied. Explain each disk
partitioning option by using
the illustration.
Key Points
During Setup, create and
size only the partition on
which you will install
Windows 2000. This will
speed up the installation
process.
Caution
6 Module 2: Installing and Upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server


Disk Partition Options
When you run the Setup program, it examines the hard disk to determine the
computer’s existing configuration and offers the following options:
 A new partition on an unpartitioned hard disk
If the hard disk is unpartitioned, you can create and size the Windows 2000
partition.
 A new partition on a partitioned hard disk
If the hard disk is partitioned, but has enough unpartitioned disk space, you

can create the Windows 2000 partition in the unpartitioned space.
 Install on existing partition
If the hard disk has an existing partition that is large enough, you can install
Windows 2000 Advanced Server on that partition. If there is an operating
system on an existing partition, performing a new installation overwrites
that operating system.
 Delete existing partition
If the hard disk has an existing partition, you can delete it to create more
unpartitioned disk space for the Windows 2000 partition. Deleting an
existing partition also erases any data on that partition.


Disk partition options are available only if you install Windows 2000
Advanced Server from a compact disc.

After selecting a disk partition option, you need to select the file system with
which to format the partition. Windows 2000 Advanced Server supports three
file systems: NTFS, FAT, and FAT32. You should select a file system based on
your requirements.
 Use NTFS for partitions that require file-level and folder-level security, disk
compression, disk quotas, or file encryption.
 Use FAT or FAT32 if you require a dual boot configuration with
Windows 2000 and any other operating system except Windows NT. FAT
and FAT32 do not support file-level and folder-level security.

Only clients running Windows 2000 or Windows NT version 4.0,
Service Pack 4 or later, can access files on partitions formatted by using the
version of NTFS in Windows 2000.
If you choose to format a partition as FAT and the partition is larger than 2 GB,
Setup will automatically format it as FAT32. Windows 2000 can format FAT32
partitions up to 32 GB in size.

When you upgrade to Windows 2000 Advanced Server, all existing NTFS
volumes are automatically converted to the new NTFS file system. If Setup
finds FAT or FAT32, you are given the option to convert to NTFS. You can
also convert your file system after Setup by using the Convert.exe command
line utility.
Slide Objective
To illustrate the file system
options for Windows 2000.

In addition to the license that is required to install and run Windows 2000
Advanced Server, you need a Client Access License (CAL) for each client
connection to the server. You can select either Per Seat or Per Server licensing
mode.
 Per Seat. Requires a separate CAL for each client computer that accesses a
Windows 2000 Advanced Server. With one CAL, a client computer can
connect to any number of Windows 2000 Advanced Servers. Organizations
with more than one server running Windows 2000 Advanced Server
commonly use Per Seat licensing mode.
 Per Server. Requires a CAL for each authenticated concurrent connection to
the server. This means that at any given time, a server running
Windows 2000 Advanced Server supports a fixed number of connections.
This option is preferred for organizations whose users will not always be
connected to a server.
Small organizations with only one server running Windows 2000 Advanced
Server commonly use Per Server licensing mode. It is also useful for
Internet or remote access servers where the client computers may not be
licensed as Windows 2000 network clients. You can specify a maximum
number of concurrent server connections and reject any additional logon
attempts.

If you are unsure which mode to use, choose Per Server because you can
change from Per Server to Per Seat once at no cost. You cannot convert from
Per Seat to Per Server.
The number of CALs that you buy should not be more than the number of
computers that you have.

Slide Objective
To illustrate the licensing
modes available for
Windows 2000 Advanced
Server.
Lead-in
You select a licensing option
for your environment during
installation.
Note
Module 2: Installing and Upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server 9


You need a Windows 2000 CAL for each authenticated connection to a
computer running Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server.
Windows 2000 CALs are required for all authenticated access to computers
running Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server. For example, CALs are
required for:
 File and Print services. Computers accessing file and print services of
Windows 2000 are required to purchase CALs.
 Remote access. Computers accessing the server from a remote location
through a communications link, including a virtual private network (VPN)
are required to purchase a CAL.
 Internet Information Service (IIS). Computers requiring authenticated access

to IIS require CALs.

Network Components
In addition to the optional components described in the previous table, you can
choose to install and configure components that provide important support for
networking. Some of these components are described in the table below.
Component Description

Domain Name System (DNS) A hierarchical name service that provides name
resolution for computers running Windows 2000. With
name resolution, users can access servers by name,
instead of using Internet Protocol (IP) addresses that
are difficult to remember. The resolved names are used
to access resources offered by other computers on a
network.
Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP)
A service that gives a server the capability of assigning
IP addresses dynamically to computers and other
devices on the network. These devices typically
include server and workstation computers, but can also
include other devices such as printers. With DHCP,
you do not need to set and maintain static IP addresses
on any of these devices, except for intranet servers
providing the DHCP, DNS, or WINS services.
Windows Internet Name
Service (WINS)
A service that dynamically maps IP addresses to
computer names or network basic input/output system
(NetBIOS) names, allowing users to access resources
by name instead of IP addresses. WINS servers
support clients running Windows 2000 or earlier
versions of Microsoft operating systems.

Note
14 Module 2: Installing and Upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server


Running the Setup Program
The text-mode Setup program consists of the following steps:
1. Setup copies a minimal version of Windows 2000 to memory.

2. The text-mode portion of Setup starts.

If the third party SCSI (small computer system interface) or RAID
volumes in your computer are not listed on the HCL, press F6 at this point. This
will allow you to add drivers that are not on the HCL.

3. Setup prompts you to select the partition on which to install Windows 2000.
4. Setup prompts you to select a file system for the new partition. You can also
choose to format the new partition.
5. Setup copies files to the hard disk and saves configuration information. The
default location for installation of the Windows 2000 operating system files
is the C:\Winnt folder.
6. Setup restarts the computer, and then starts the Setup wizard.

Completing the Setup Wizard
After the Setup program installs Windows 2000 security features and installs
and configures your hardware devices, the Setup wizard prompts you to provide
the following information:
 CD key
 Regional settings
 Name and organization name
 Licensing mode
 Computer name and password for the Administrator account
 Windows 2000 optional components that you want to install

If you need to install Windows 2000 on multiple computers, it is more efficient
to perform the installations over a network connection. Understanding the
additional setup requirements and customizations that are available for network
installation will enable you to use this method more efficiently.
Performing a Network Installation
Installation over a network connection includes three additional requirements:
 Distribution server
Contains the installation files from the I386 on the Windows 2000
compact disc.

 Network client software
Allows the local computer to connect to the distribution server.
 100-200 MB partition
Provides space on the local computer for the additional driver files and
installation source files that are copied to the local hard disk during a
network installation.


When you install Windows 2000 over a network, you copy the source
files from a distribution server to the hard disk of the local computer. Therefore,
you cannot repartition the disks during a network installation.
The option of installing over the network is not available if there are no existing
partitions in which to install.

Slide Objective
To identify the process for
installing Windows 2000
over a network.
Lead-in
A network installation has
additional requirements.

To start Windows 2000 Setup from the network, perform the following steps:
1. On a network server, share the installation files, either by inserting the
compact disc and sharing the CD-ROM drive, or by copying the files from

the I386 folder on the compact disc to a shared folder on the distribution
server.
2. On the computer on which you want to install Windows 2000, connect to
the shared CD-ROM drive and change to the I386 folder or connect to the
shared folder.
3. Find and run the appropriate file on the I386 folder on the compact disc or
in the shared folder. Then, perform one of the following steps:
• From a computer running MS-DOS
® or Windows version 3.0 or later,
run Winnt.exe.
• From a computer running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 3.51
or later, or Windows 2000, run Winnt32.exe.

Customizing the Installation by Using Switches
You can modify a network installation by using switches to change how
Winnt.exe or Winnt32.exe runs the Setup program. To use a switch, type the
command, followed by a space, followed by the switch. For example, to force
Windows 2000 to install on drive D instead of drive C, type the winnt /t:d
command at a command prompt.
Modifying Winnt.exe
The following table describes the switches that you can use with Winnt.exe to
control Setup with a computer running MS-DOS or Windows 3.0 or later.
Switch Description

/a Enables accessibility options.
/e[:command] Executes a command before the final phase of Setup.
/i[:inf_file] Specifies the file name (no path) of the Setup information file. The
default is Dosnet.inf. A Setup information file is used to automate
installation. Automated installations are discussed later in this
module.

/r[:folder] Specifies an optional folder to be installed.
/rx[:folder] Specifies an optional folder to be copied.
/s[:source_path] Specifies the location of the Windows 2000 installation files. The
source path must be a full path in one of the following formats:
x:\[path] or \\server\shared_folder[\path]
The default is the current folder.
/t[:temp_drive] Directs Setup to place temporary files on the specified drive and to
install Windows 2000 on that drive. If you do not specify a drive,
Setup uses the partition with the most available space.
/u[:script_file] Performs an unattended installation by using an optional script file.
Unattended installations also require use of the /s switch.

Delivery Tip
Only mention some of the
more commonly used
switches; do not describe
every switch listed in the
tables.
Module 2: Installing and Upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server 19


Modifying Winnt32.exe
The following table describes the switches that you can use with Winnt32.exe
to control Setup with a computer running Windows 95, Windows 98,
Windows NT 3.51 or later, or Windows 2000.
Switch Description

/copydir:
f
older

_
name
Creates an additional folder within the systemroot folder (the folder
that contains the Windows 2000 system files).
For example, if your source folder contains a folder called
My_drivers, type /copydir:My_drivers to copy the My_drivers
folder to your systemroot folder. You can use the /copydir switch to
create as many additional folders as you like.
/copysource:
f
older
_
name
Creates an additional folder within the systemroot folder. Setup
deletes files created with /copysource after installation completes.
/cmd:
command_line
Executes a command before the final phase of Setup.
/cmdcons Copies additional files to the hard disk that are necessary to load a
command-line interface for repair and recovery purposes.
/debug[level]
[:file_name]
Creates a debug log at the specified level.
By default, it creates C:\Winnt32.log at level 2 (the warning level).
/s:source_path Specifies the location of the Windows 2000 installation files. To
simultaneously copy files from multiple paths, use a separate /s
switch for each source path.
/syspart:
drive_letter
Copies Setup startup files to a hard disk and marks the drive as

active. You can then install the drive in another computer. When
you start that computer, Setup starts at the next phase.
Use of /syspart requires use of the /tempdrive switch.
/tempdrive:
drive_letter
Places temporary files on the specified drive and installs
Windows 2000 on that drive.
/unattend
[number]
[:answer_file]
Performs an unattended installation. The answer file provides your
custom specifications to Setup. If you do not specify an answer file,
all user settings are taken from the previous installation.
You can specify the number of seconds between the time that Setup
finishes copying the files and when it restarts. You can specify the
number of seconds only on a computer running Windows 2000 that
is upgrading to a newer version of Windows 2000.
/udf:id
[,udf_file]
Indicates an identifier (id) that Setup uses to specify how a
Uniqueness Database File (UDF) modifies an answer file. The .udf
file overrides values in the answer file, and the identifier determines
which values in the .udf file are used. For example,
/udf:RAS_user,Our_company.udf overrides settings that are
specified for the RAS_user identifier in the Our_company.udf file.
If you do not specify a .udf file, Setup prompts the user to insert a
disk that contains the $Unique$.udf file.

 Upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server
 Planning an Upgrade to Windows 2000 Advanced Server
 Backing Up Critical Data Files and Settings


There are several reasons for choosing an upgrade over a new installation. First,
the configuration is simpler for an upgrade, and your existing users, settings,
groups, rights, and permissions are retained. In addition, you do not need to
reinstall files and applications. Before upgrading, it is important to back up
critical data files and settings to avoid any loss of data in case the system
crashes during upgrade.

Server is successful.
Module 2: Installing and Upgrading to Windows 2000 Advanced Server 21


Planning an Upgrade to Windows 2000 Advanced Server
 Identifying the Operating System Upgrade Path
 Verifying Hardware Compatibility
 Identifying the Update Pack Requirements

In addition to the preparation tasks for installing Windows 2000 Advanced
Server, there are additional tasks you need to perform to help ensure a
successful upgrade to Windows 2000 Advanced Server. These tasks include
identifying the upgrade path, verifying hardware compatibility, and identifying
update pack requirements.
Identifying the Operating System Upgrade Path
To upgrade domain controllers and member servers running previous versions
of Windows NT to Windows 2000 Advanced Server, identify the upgrade paths
for server operating systems in the following table.
From Upgrade to

A primary domain controller (PDC)
running Windows NT Server 3.51
or 4.0
A domain controller running Windows 2000
Server or Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
Backup domain controller (BDC)
running Windows NT Server 3.51
or 4.0
A domain controller running Windows 2000
Server or Windows 2000 Advanced Server or a
member server.
A member server running
Windows NT Server 3.51 or 4.0
A member server running Windows 2000 Server
or Windows2000 Advanced Server.
Any computer running
Windows NT Server 3.1 or

Windows NT Server 3.5
Computers running Windows NT Server 3.51 or
4.0 first, and then upgrade to Windows 2000
Server or Windows 2000 Advanced Server.


Many servers running Windows NT 3.1 or 3.5 will not have the
necessary hardware to run Windows 2000. To upgrade these servers and
preserve the system configuration, you must first upgrade the system hardware
to meet the Windows 2000 hardware requirements. You can then upgrade the
operating system to Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0, and then to Windows 2000
Advanced Server.

Slide Objective
