SETTING UP HYPER-V

2

You can use the steps in the following procedure to convert a Server with a GUI installation to a Minimal Server Interface Configuration using Server Manager:

1. On the Windows Server 2012 system, open Server Manager and select add roles and features

1. Select Hyper-V as a role

3

3. Accept additional features

4. Add Ethernet as a network adapter

4

5. The installation progress window shows as a summary what you have installed

5

6. once the installation is finished, close the window

CREATING A VIRTUAL SWITCH 1. Select Hyper-V manager

6

2. Select virtual switch manager

3. In this exercise we will connect the switch to a private network

7

4. Give the switch a name. I named it "Vm1" as shown in the following figure

8

INSTALLING WINDOWS SERVER 2012 IN HYPER-V1. Choose a drive where the virtual machine will be stored

2. Create a folder that will contain the virtual machine

4. In the Name text box, enter a name for the virtual machine, such as DC1.9

5. By default, the virtual machine data is stored on the system disk. To select a different location, select the Store The Virtual Machine In A Different Location check box, click Browse, and then use the Select Folder dialog box to select a save location. Click Next.

6. On the Assign Memory page, specify the amount of memory to allocate to the virtual machine. In most cases, you should reserve at least the minimum amount of memory recommended for the operating system you plan to install. Click Next. 

10

7. On the Configure Networking page, use the Connection list to select a network adapter to use. Each new virtual machine includes a network adapter, and you can configure the adapter to use an available virtual network for communicating with other computers. Click Next. 

11

8. On the Connect Virtual Hard Disk page, use the options provided to name and create a virtual hard disk for the virtual machine. Each virtual machine requires a virtual hard disk so that you can install an operating system and required applications. Click Next.

9. On the Installation Options page, select Install An Operating System From A Boot CD/DVD-ROM. If you have physical distribution media, insert the distribution media, and then specify the CD/DVD drive to use. If you want to install from an .iso image, select Image File, click Browse, and then use the Open dialog box to select the image file to use.

12

10. Click Next, and then click Finish. 

13

CREATING A DIFFERENCING DISK1. To ensure that you create a new machine identity, you should generalize your installation.

To do that for Microsoft operating systems, that means running sysprep. IThe simple usage of the tool is to simply type sysprep from an elevated   Command Prompt   or the Run dialog box and read the dialog box. Review the Sysprep dialog box, select the appropriate options, and then run it.

2. Ensured the generalize box is marked

14

3. Change the shutdown option from reboot to shutdown then press OK Leave the virtual machine shut down/off

15

4. Locate the virtual hard drive file, vhdx, and set that as read-only. To do so, right-click the actual file, clickProperties, then select the  Set the virtual hard drive (.vhdx) file as read only. This will help prevent you or someone else from accidentally modifying it.

16

5. You no longer need the parent virtual machine configuration files or folders. In Hyper-V manager, right-click the entry for the virtual machine and then select Delete. Confirm the deletion by clicking Delete. This should remove all the extraneous files, leaving you only with the virtual hard disk. However, you can go check the file path to ensure the folders and .xml files were removed. Just be sure not to remove the .vhdx file, because that is the one you want. That is your parent virtual hard disk from which you will create the differencing disks.

17

6. Right-click the Hyper-V server you want to target, click New, Hard Disk. The New Virtual Hard Disk Wizardopens.

7. If the Before You Begin page appears, review it and then click Next.

18

8. Select vhdx as the disk format

9. On Choose Disk Type, select Differencing and then click Next.19

10. On Specify Name and Location, type an appropriate name. For example, APP1.vhd and then enter a specific location where you want to store the virtual hard disk. For example, I have stored the vhdx to I:\DifferenceDisk2. Then Click Next.

20

11. On Configure Disk, in Location, type or browse to the file path to the parent vhdx that you created previously and then click Next

12. The parent disk is under the virtual hard disks folder

13. On Completing the New Virtual Hard Disk Wizard, review your selections and then click Finish.

21

EXCHANGE SERVER Setting up Linux server for mail purpose using Windows as a class DNS First step is installing Linux. For this practice, we will use Fedora as a distribution1. Select the appropriate language

22

2. choose the destination where you want the operating system to be installed

3. For advanced set up , select " I will configure partitioning"

23

4. Change the “Partitioning Scheme” to “Standard Partition” and click on the “+” button in order to create a new hard drive

5. Make sure that the mount point is set to “/” and click on “Add mount point”, some options will show up.

24

6. Assign a memory and  When you’re done, click on the “Done” button and choose “Accept Changes”.

7. While installation is in progress, you should cease the chance to configure the root password

Configuring bind 25

1. Login as root and Install bind

2. Install webmin . Before installing webmin , you may do the following steps :

a. create the /etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo file containing :

[Webmin]name=Webmin Distribution Neutral#baseurl=http://download.webmin.com/download/yummirrorlist=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum/mirrorlistenabled=1

b. You should also fetch and install my GPG key with which the packages are signed, with the commands :

wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.ascrpm --import jcameron-key.asc

26

Use "yum update" to install updates

Configure the network settings

27

Disable the firewall by typing the following commands:

iptables -L

iptables -F

systemctl disable firewalld.service

To confirm if bind is running , running the following commands:

systemctl start named.service

systemctl enable named.service

systemctl status named.service shows bind is active

Configure the named.conf configuration file

28

Replace the IP address 127.0.0.1 with your static IP address and "localhost" with "any"

In the same configuration file, replaced the lines highlighted where it says yes with no and comment out the last line .

29

Edit the resolv.conf by typing the following command : gedit resolv.conf

Configure the hosts file by adding the following as shown in the image

30

Configure the "hostname "file by typing the following command : gedit hostname

Configure the local-host-names file

31

Configure the sendmail.mc file by commenting out the following line as shown in the figure

gedit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

I did change my server ip address to 9.0.24.16 at a pointTo access the webmin site, type your < IP address >: port# , example: 9.0.24.16:1000Your username is : root

32

Password : ###

On the webmin site, select create master zone

In the domain name/network field, you can put any alias. I did earlier put fedora2.net but will later on change it to .org.

33

The email address was also changed to fedora2.org.Only the mail server field is not touched

Select address to create records

I created 2 records: a www and a blank one . For the blank record, simply leave the name field empty34

Select mail address to create an MX record

Set priority to 10

35

Edit zone options in order to transfer the zones already created

36

Point the zones to the class DNS : 9.0.20.3

Create a forward look up zone pointing at the class DNS

37

Login windows 2012 server which is your edge server then connect to the slave the server

Enter the IP address of the slave server

38

Create a secondary zone

Select secondary

39

In the exercise, I changed the record to .org. So please ignore the following record

The DNS could not resolve the IP address because I did not configure the named.conf properly.

40

Earlier I had changed the IP address from 9.0.24.10 to 9.0.24.16

41

Configuring sendmail

1. In order to use Sendmail, first ensure the sendmail package is installed on your system by running, as root

In order to configure Sendmail, ensure the sendmail-cf package is installed on your system by running, as root

2.  Avoid editing the sendmail.cf file directly. To make configuration changes to Sendmail, edit the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file, back up the original/etc/mail/sendmail.cf, and use the following alternatives to generate a new configuration file:

o Use the included makefile in /etc/mail/ (~]# make all -C /etc/mail/) to create a new/etc/mail/sendmail.cf configuration file.

42

3. You should be able to see the file "make" created

Edit the local-host-names file

Type gedit /etc/mail/local-host-names

Configure the access file as well 43

gedit /etc/mail/access

Type "alpine" to access the mail options

44

Type "C" to compose mail

Enter "CTRL + X" to send mail 45

46

47

DHCP FRAME RELAY SERVERUsing Relay agent to assign an IP address

I have used the following topology

Configure the network interface on the server that run the relay agent service and point the DNS to the DHCP server

48

Configure Ethernet interfaces of the router that I will be used as a gatewayEstablish a link between the two networks with OSPF protocol . Use area 0 for the configuration

Test the network connection by pinging the gateways on both ports : 192.168.0.1 and 10.0.0.1
