Configure your Windows 2008 server for class use

Add yourself as a user/Administrator
Allow *.microsoft.com, *.desire2learn.com, and *.templejc.edu as safe web sites
Check for hardware problems
Set up machine for File Services
Set up machine for Domain Controller Services
Optional Set Quotas
Promote server to Primary Domain Controller (dcpromo.exe)

This is 2003 views, but the steps are similar. This way you see more than one interface, doing the same job.

1. Log in
2. DO NOT SET UP SERVICES AT THIS TIME
3. Go to the System Control Panel, Hardware, Device Manager, and fix NIC driver, etc. using the drivers on the Motherboard CD
   Don't worry so much about bus controllers. You could use the Motherboard CD to fix, just don't let the motherboard installer run, it is just the source to search for drivers.
   
   
   • Note: top of tree is your server's name
   • Insert Driver CD, and close any autorun windows
   • Right click on Ethernet Controller (NIC) and choose to update driver
   • Choose Install from a list or specific location
   • Choose Search removable media, the driver will load

   • Anytime updating a driver makes things worse, you may roll back the driver.
     
4. Access Administrative Tools\Computer Management
   Right click User folder to create new user, using school username
   Password must be complex... use something like Password2
   Turn Off user must reset password, and turn on Password never expires
   
   If using the Limited 180 copy of Server, you may not use simple password.
   If using a full version of Server you could make changes if using simple passwords... this yellow box is OPTIONAL READING
