Lesson 5: Windows Server 2008 File and Print Servers

Today we’ll learn about what’s new in file and print server roles in Windows Server 2008.

I’ll walk you through implementing Distributed File System, namespaces and replication using our Verde Petra scenario and at the end I’ll also show you how to implement print services.

Here’s what we’ll be learning today:

• What’s new in File and Print — file and print servers aren’t new, but there are a few new toys and features and we’ll take a look at what they are and what they do
• Installing the File Server role — going back to our Verde Patra scenario, we’ll install and configure the File Server role along with DFS and File Server Resource Manager
• Namespaces — next I’m going to show you how to create a new namespace and how to add additional servers to that namespace
• Replication — now we’re going to setup replication so that when a file is put in one folder on one server it automatically replicates to the other folder on the other server
• Adding a Print Server — I’ll first talk about the different role services that are available for Print Services, including the Print Server, LPD Service and Internet Printing (IPP) and then we’ll walk through installing the print server
• Adding a network printer — next we’ll move on to adding and sharing a printer on the network and then take a look at the Print Management Console
• Deployed Printers — we’ll finish off with a quick look at the capabilities that are available for Deployed Printers
