Hardware/software Requirements
To run this course, you will need one computer
running Windows 2000 Server (or Advanced Server) to act as an
Active Directory domain controller for your classroom. You will
also need one computer running Windows 2000 Professional for each
student and for the instructor. Each computer will need:
- For the Windows 2000 Professional
computers: at least 32 megabytes (MB) of Random Access
Memory (RAM) (64 MB recommended). For the Windows 2000
Server (or Advanced Server) computer: at least 128 MB of
RAM (256 MB recommended).
- A 2 GB hard disk with at least 650 MB of
free space for Professional and 1 GB of free hard-disk
space for Server.
- A Pentium processor, 133 MHz or faster.
- A VGA or higher resolution video card and
monitor.
- A mouse or compatible tracking device.
- A 3.5" 1.44 MB floppy-disk drive.
- A 12X or faster CD-ROM drive if you will
be installing Windows 2000 from a CD-ROM. You can also
install from a shared network installation location.
Note: If the CD-ROM drive is not bootable, or if you will
be installing from the network, you will need to run the
Makeboot.bat batch file from the Windows 2000
installation CD-ROM to create setup boot floppies to
initiate Windows 2000 Setup.
- A network adapter and network cable, with
a classroom connection to the Internet. All classroom
computers should be on the same physical network segment.
- Licensed copies of the Windows 2000
Professional software for the instructor and student
computers, and Windows 2000 Server (or Advanced Server)
for the classroom domain controller.
See your reference manual for hardware
considerations that apply to your specific hardware setup.
