Activity 5-2 Installing a Printer

Objective: Install a printer using the Network Printer Installation Wizard, and learn how to enable printer publishing in the domains Group Policy.

Description: In this activity, you install a printer using the Network Printer Installation Wizard. This activity does not require a printer to be attached to the computer, because you practice a manual configuration without automatic detection. Publishing a printer for domain-wide access must be enabled in a domains Group Policy within Active Directory. In this activity, you make certain that the domains Group Policy for publishing printers is enabled.

Requirements: Take screenshots on Steps 2.3, 2.9, 2.13, 2.18, 2.21, 2.29, and answer questions on Steps 2.5, 2.15 and 2.24.

2.0Open PowerShell prompt, type: date; ipconfig /all (two commands in one line) as below. PressEnter.

Figure 2.0 Windows Server 2016 Info 2Capture your screen with date and time from Azure VM task bar, replace the above and save to your file.

2.2In the left pane, use the right-pointing arrow, if necessary to ensure you can view the server name under Print Servers.

2.3In the left pane, right-click the server name under Print Servers and click Add Printer.

2.4Notice the options to install a local or a network printer. A local printer is one that is physically attached to the computer through a port, and a network printer is one that is connected to a different computer or to a dedicated print server device (wireless or cabled to the network) and that is shared over the network. For this activity, click Add a new printer using an existing port.

2.5Click the down arrow that shows LPT1: (Printer Port) as the default. What options are available?

2.6For practice, use the default selection for the printer port (port to which the printer is connected), such as LPT1: (Printer Port), and click Next.

2.7Ensure that Install a new driver is selected and click Next.

2.8For the Manufacturer, select Brother (the default), and for the Printer, select Brother Color Leg Type 1 Class Driver (or select a manufacturer and printer of your choice). If you selected the defaults, notice that the driver is digitally signed. Digital signing offers some security that the driver is authentically written by the manufacturer. Click Next.

2.9In the Printer Name and Sharing Settings dialog box, ensure that there is a check in the box for Share this printer, which is the default. In the Share Name text box, enter Office Printer plus your initials, such as Office Printer JR. This is the name that users on the network will see. In the Location text box, enter a theoretical room number, such as Room 10. Also, enter a comment, such as Shared color printer. Click Next.

2.10Review the information for the printer and click Next.

2.11Ensure that the Status shows the driver and printer installations succeeded. Notice that you could now print a test page as a way to test your installation. You can also choose to add another printer. Click Finish.

2.12Ensure the Print Management tool is open.

2.13In the left pane, use the right-pointing arrow to expand the elements under the print server so that you see Printers listed. Click Printers in the left pane to view the installed printers in the middle pane.

2.14In the middle pane, right-click the printer you installed, such as Brother Color Leg Type 1 Class Driver. Click Properties.

2.16Click Cancel.

2.17Click Tools and click Group Policy Management.

2.18In the left pane, use the right-pointing arrows to expand Domains and your specific domain, so that you see Default Domain Policy.

2.19Right-click Default Domain Policy and click Edit.

2.20In the left pane of the Group Policy Management Editor window, as necessary, use the right-pointing arrows to display the elements under these folders: Computer Configuration, Policies, and Administrative Templates.

2.21In the left pane, click the Printers folder under Administrative Templates.

2.22If necessary, click the Standard tab at the bottom of the middle pane for better viewing of the settings that can be configured.

2.23Scroll through the right pane and notice the policies that can be configured.

2.24In the right pane, double-click Allow printers to be published. How is this policy currently configured?

2.25Make sure Enabled is selected.

2.26Click OK.

2.27In addition to enabling printer publishing, you might want to enable the ability for browsing master servers to include published printers, as users browse for network printers when installing them through their operating systems version of the Network Printer Installation Wizard. To enable printer browsing, double-click Printer browsing, select Enabled (if it is not already selected), and click OK.

2.28Review the middle pane of the Group Policy Management Editor window to ensure your changes have been made.

2.29Close the Group Policy Management Editor window. Close the Group Policy Management window.

Activity 5-3 Creating a Simple Volume and Managing Disk

Objective: Create a new partition from unpartitioned disk space.

Description: This activity enables you to create a new partition. Youll need access to a server that has some amount of unpartitioned disk space or free space. If a server is not available with unpartitioned space, remember the location of this activity so you can refer to these steps before partitioning disk space in a live work situation.

Requirements: Take screenshots on Steps 3.2, 3.4, 3.7, 3.10, and 3.15.

3.0Open PowerShell prompt, type: date; ipconfig /all (two commands in one line) as below. PressEnter.

3.7In the Format Partition dialog box, the default is to format the volume using NTFS and use the Default allocation unit size. You can also specify a volume label. Additionally, you have the option to perform a quick format, which is not advised because this doesnt check the integrity of the partition. Another option is to compress folders and files by default. Click Next.

3.8Review the selections you have made and click Finish. (It may take a few minutes to create the new simple volume. The Disk Management tool displays its progress, such as formatting as it is working.)

3.9Right-click the current disk.

3.10Make sure that the correct disk is selected, such as Disk 0, in the Convert to Dynamic Disk dialog box. Click OK.

3.11Verify the disk or disks to convert in the Disks to Convert dialog box and click Convert.

3.12Click Yes in the Disk Management information box.

3.13If necessary, click Yes to acknowledge that the file systems on the disk will be dismounted.

3.14Notice under the Type column that the basic disk has now been converted to a dynamic disk.

3.15Using the Disk Management tool, by right-clicking the newly created volume, such as (E:), and clicking Delete Volume. Then click Yes in the Delete simple volume dialog box and click Yes again.

3.16The disk should convert back to a basic disk automatically.

Activity 5-4 Installing the Windows Server Backup Tool and Backup a Folder

Objective: Install the Windows Server Backup tool.

Description: Performing regular backups is a critical task for ensuring your organizations working environment. Even if you lose a disk drive or inadvertently delete an important folder, you still have your important information if you have it backed up. You probably wont need to restore from backups often, but when you need to, there is no better feeling than having sound backups. In this activity, you install the Windows Server Backup tool that some server administrators prefer using for backups, because it is native to Windows Server.
