Classroom Configuration
The following configuration and naming conventions are used throughout this
course and are required for the hands-on labs:
!
The instructor computer is named London.
!
The student computers are named according to the following table.

The following table shows the order in which student computers should be
installed, in addition to the names and IP addresses that will be assigned to each
computer. In the IP addresses, x is the classroom number. Student computers
should be installed in groups of 4.
Installation order Computer name IP address Domain

1 Vancouver 192.168.x.1 Namerica.nwtraders.msft
2 Denver 192.168.x.2 Namerica.nwtraders.msft
3 Acapulco 192.168.x.13 Namerica.nwtraders.msft
4 Miami 192.168.x.14 Namerica.nwtraders.msft
5 Lisbon 192.168.x.5 Europe.nwtraders.msft

Six of the student computers – Vancouver, Lisbon, Bangalore, Lima,
Casablanca, and Perth – are domain controllers for their respective domains.
The remaining student computers are members servers in their domains.

Student computers must be installed in blocks of four, per domain
grouping. For example, if you have five students enrolled in the class you must
install 8 computers. You would install all of the computers in North America
and Europe domains. The labs are written to work in domain teams. Please physically locate
of all the computers together in a single domain.

Setup Instructions
Use the following procedures to prepare each computer for class.

The instructor computer (London) must be set up completely before
you begin setting up the student computers. Student computer setup occurs over
the network by using file shares that are created on the instructor computer.

Before You Begin
You will need to do the following:
!
Read through all setup procedures.

Setup of the student computers takes place over the network. As a result, you
must have an MS-DOS system disk that includes drivers for network adapters
in the student computers. In addition, the network boot disk must include the
Xcopy.exe, Xcopy32.exe, and Xcopy32.mod files either on the root of the
system disk or in a location that is specified in the MS-DOS path statement in
the Autoexec.bat file.
The batch files that are used to set up the student computers require a large
amount of MS-DOS environment space. Therefore, it is recommended that you
include the following line in the Config.sys file on the boot disk:
Shell = a:\command.com /p /e:1024

Windows 2000 does not include a utility for creating network boot disks.

possible IP address conflicts.

The Installing Configuration Files screen appears, and the courseware
files are copied to the hard disk.
