Configuration of DHCP and Deploying WDS

hello everyone computer network here it's time for our next IT tutorial today I'm gonna show you how to set up and do basic configuration of DHCP and I'm also going to show you how to set up and configure WDS okay let's get started okay first before we install the DHCP server role we want to make sure that this server has a static IP address so let's go to the network and sharing center go to change adapter settings right quick your your connection click properties go to ipv4 properties and now we can set our IP information so I'm going to set this server to 192 dot 168 1.30 and the reason I'm doing that is I'm sending it outside of the range of my local network see this virtual machine is gonna be on the same subnet but it's not going to be in the range of IP addresses of my local devices just to make sure there's no conflicts and then I'm gonna send to my Hardware router which is 192 that one state dot one dot one and the DNS is also going to be on that same router so once this is set up go ahead and click ok close and now you just want to make sure whenever you make an IP address change that your configuration was saved so go to command prompt I've been ipconfig /all and there we go DCP is not enabled so it's a static address and it's set to 1.30 just like I said it subnet mask is good default gateways correct and DNS is correct okay now we can go ahead and go to manage add roles and features and we can install the DHCP role we don't need any features go ahead and click Next restart if required typically you don't have to restart to install DHCP but I always check that just in case and click install and that shouldn't take terribly long it should take just a couple minutes while it's doing that I'll go ahead and explain to you real quick why we have to install the HCP to use WDS as you know most the NICs that are in our modern enterprise workstations these days support pixie booting and what the the NIC will do is it'll go out and look for a server to get an image wrong but it has to have an IP address to do that so first they'll make contact and look into each other's MAC addresses and next it'll get a deed it'll get an IP address from DCP and there's an option in DHCP called pixie boot which enables it to do that so that is why we have to have DHCP you can also set DCP other options like what DNS server what default gateway to push out to the devices we'll set those up at another time and this looks like it's just about finished here okay DCP is install and we are ready to configure it once it's finished go ahead and click DCP configuration click Next and I'm Logan I'm locked in as the local administrator account which is s fate so I have the authority to authorize this server to give out IP addresses so once that's done and you have the correct credentials click commit close close that now we can go to tools and go to DHCP and this will bring up the MMC DCP console and if I right-click the server here you're noticed that it's already authorized which is what that initial configuration set was if ever for any reason you had to take down the DCP for maintenance all you'd have to do is just come in and unauthorized the server and then you could do your maintenance tasks or repairs next thing we want to do is we'll right-click ipv4 and quick new scope click Next I'm just gonna call it test one and now your scope is your range of addresses that this DCP is going to give out so I'm gonna give it one 92.1 CX dot one dot 32 one ninety sixty eight dot one dot forty okay so that's ten IP addresses now best practice when you're setting up the scope is you don't want to have a larger range than you need if you only have ten ten devices you only need about 10 to 12 IP addresses just so you have a little flexibility you don't want to give out 200 addresses for just 10 devices that is way too much it's just a it just adds a little bit security to it good practice you might come across that in the Network+ and the Security+ exam so watch out for that we can just leave these at the default and click Next now exclusions this is where we're gonna exclude the addresses in that range that we don't want the server to give out so as you saw earlier we set the server to one a six eight one one ninety two dot one sent 1.30 so we'll exclude that from the range so it can't be given out I mean just verify that real quick always verify when you're sitting in pipe information because it'll save you a lot of trouble later so I'm just gonna verify it real quick yeah it is not 1 to 30 let's go ahead click Next you can leave the least duration to the fall I usually don't change this in some cases it would be a good idea to but just for a test lab no reason to and I'm gonna set that to no because we're gonna set those up in a later time hey click finish [Music] activate the scope and now it can give out IP addresses okay now that we've got our scope set up we can go ahead and move on to the next step which is setting up WDS so I'm gonna go ahead and close the DCP console now let's go back to tools scroll down Windows deployment services and let's right-click and configure server go and click Next it is integrated with Active Directory because this server is a domain controller so we can click Next we can just leave that to the default now of course best performance would be a separate volume rather than the volume of the servers running up but since this is the only one we have we'll just go ahead and click continue yeah that's fun we can click next and we want to respond to all client computers known and unknown and it's gonna do some initial configuration okay now we have access to the WDS options okay next thing we're gonna want to do is we're going to want to add our boot images and our install images so what you'll do is you'll right-click boot images add boot image and let me show you a quick what I did what I did was I installed the VirtualBox guest additions and then I shared a folder that contained a Windows 8.1 enterprise ISO I extracted using 7-zip that's it here now the two files you want they're in sources and they're gonna be called boot wim and installed that wim and what those are is those are Windows images what I did after I connected the shared folder to the VM here is I copied over those two files to my desktop and now I'm going to use WDS to add those so I'll browse the location boot and what the boot that wim is is the actual Windows setup that installs Windows and then the install that wim is the image that the Installer uses to install so we'll click Next when to setup that's correct oh and make sure that you're using 64-bit versus 32-bit because if the images all have to match up of course so click next after that click Next again and it's going to extract and have that boot image 2ws so it can be used this can take that's a quite a bit of time depending on how powerful your computer is and how fast your storage is so I'll take a quick break from here and as soon as that is done I'll come right back to you okay our boot image was headed successfully now we can click finish and we can add our install image so we'll right click install images add install image you have to create an image group so we'll just leave it to the default image group one browse to file location and that'll be the install don't win click Next Windows 8.1 Enterprise let's call correct click Next Next again and it'll do a pretty lengthy integrity check on this because this is the actual image that's going to be used to install Windows this can take a I've around an hour or so so I'll take another break as soon as it's done I'll come back and we'll finish this up okay so our install image was added successfully I passed the integrity the integrity check it actually it actually didn't take as long as I thought it would it only took about 10 minutes I haven't used appointment services in a while the last one I had to run it on it was on a server they had just like two gigs of RAM and it was just a dual-core processor and it just crawled the storage was so slow but actually in fact it only took about a minute for the boot image to be added and it only took about ten minutes for the install image to be at it so it actually wasn't that long so now that that's added ok let me go ahead and show you something real quick the Windows deployment services requires a service to function and sometimes it doesn't always start automatically so just go ahead and show you that real quick right click your Start button go run go to services.msc click OK scroll down until you find the windows deployment services server and make sure that is started because that is required to run WDS sometimes it doesn't start automatically so you'll just have to go into the services console and start now when we configure your WDS it made an option in DHCP so that DSP can give out IP addresses to pixi clients I'll go ahead and show that to you real quick so we'll close WDS go to tools DCP spend out the console here and under server options there you'll see it option 64 Pixy client and now now that we have this set up we can boot pixie clients and use the images we've install into double yes which I'll go ahead and show you that next okay so what I did is I set up the virtual machine I'll go and show that to you it's gonna be Windows 8.1 enterprise and let me just show you the settings for that real quick two gigs ram should be sufficient go ahead and go to processor make sure PAE and nexus is enable default acceleration should be fine and next go down to network and make sure you're set to bridged adapter this is crucial it has to be over to contact the pixie server so it can load the image and begin the install so once that's all set up go ahead and start it up press f12 quickly cuz it doesn't give you much time and to press L to boot LAN now it's gonna go out to DCP and try and grab an address shouldn't take terribly long now you'll get a prompt to press f12 tap f12 and it's gonna boot the in the d boot image which will ring up windows installer okay looks like it's working and this is gonna be a very similar to for example if you bid it to an installation DVD but slightly different okay once it comes up make sure your keyboard and language are Craig just like on a normal install click Next and now you're going to have to provide domain credentials to authorize this install so that's gonna be my administrator account and then you have to type out the full domain which in this case is net lab dot local so your administer account at your domain and then the administrator password okay and then your authorized and there is our a Dell one enterprise I mean click Next and from this point it just behaves just like a normal and salt and I'm gonna stop here but if I wanted to continue and install from this image I would just continue just like if I go to an installation disk and go through all the normal options and if we go through the install and there we go we'd have a Dell one enterprise installed and ready to go and after that I would just join it join it to the domain and it would be a workstation i could administer and manage so that's basic DHCP setup and setting up and configuring W yes and deploying WDS thanks for watching if you enjoy the video don't forget to leave a like
