10 thing to practice
- Configure and troubleshoot shared folders permissions-again, and again and again. Create different scenarios for your family and friends group accounts. Be the network administrator!
- Configure Volume Shadow Copy Service on your server and don’t turn it off. (This has got to be one of the coolest new features of Windows Server 2003!) Load the client component and restore previously deleted files.
- Run Automated System Recovery, even if you don’t want to simulate a dead server. Be sure to follow the steps I outline in the main article and in the help files.
- Download and install Software Update Services on your server. Download the latest Windows updates and configure the client to use your SUS server.
- Run server backups if only to a file as the destination. Just as important, restore the backups and verify EFS, compression and NTFS permissions remain the same.
- Create and assign permissions to printer users and change them for fun! Find out what happens when you stop the printer spooler service.
- Create a few group policies and explore the different computer and user settings available. Link a GPO to a parent OU and view the results of computer and user accounts changes within child OUs with and without Block Policy Inheritance and No Override.
- Create user accounts in Active Directory for your family and friends. Add them to groups and log on with their accounts from a client or a second server. Change group scope and membership, practice using the AGUDLP.
- Configure inheritance and inheritance blocking with AD objects. Set permissions and view their effects when accessed by different family members and friends.
- Configure and recover RAID arrays. Get at least three small hard drives and create a stripe, mirror and stripe set with parity configuration. Disconnect one of the RAID 1 or 5 drives and reconnect for a recovery scenario. Watch how Windows 2003 behaves and the warning and error messages it displays.
