Setup of Gateway/ALR 7200 300Mhz - NT
Began Fresh Install of NT4.0. Insert CDRom and Diskette number 1 into respective drives. Power up machine.
Disk controller info :
It senses that no Operating Systems has been installed, and wants to format the disk. Choose OK to continue.
Hit PG-DN..PG-DN…PG-DN…F8 for license screen.
Create a 1024Mb partition on Disk 0. Disk 0 geometry was all fouled up, but figure that after NT is installed, we can fix later. Make NTFS
Accept \winnt for directory name.
Allow an exhaustive search, and re-insert the 7800 Family diskette (scsi drivers) when prompted.
We will be selecting NTFS for filesystem when prompted.
Eject CDRom and diskette, and reboot when prompted.
Setup should be :
User Name : Paul A. Luzzi
Company : Commission
CD Key : *****-OEM-*******-*****
License Method : Per Server (10 Licenses)
Machine Name : UCESNT
Machine will reboot here , to convert the standard FAT to NTFS on boot device.
Function / Usage : Primary Domain Controller
Administrator Pswd : ********
Dont create Emergency Repair Diskette now.
Select all accessories
Select all games
Select Internet Mail and Windows Messaging
Wired to Network
De-Select Internet Information Server for now.
Automatically finds 3Com 3c905Tx Ethernet Card (and intel onboard but problem with the onboard, so ignore)
Use TCP/IP and NetBeui for protocols
Add the following services :
No DHCP configuration Setup TCP/IP address on 3c905 to be 192.168.2.11 / 255.255.0.0 Bindings are ok. Domain : UCESC
Display : 640 x 480 (After reboot, change to 800 x 600 72 Hz 65k colors)
Eject CDRom and diskette(s) and reboot as prompted
After the machine reboots, NT is fully installed. We can now begin our install of service packs, software, optional network components, etc. Of course the first thing to do is to logon. So use the default Administrator account, and the password is defined as above.
Setup the onboard NIC :
(Final note - after doing this, there were suddenly services that failed to start on bootup, so we dropped the card again)
Go into disk administrator, and create the remaining drives (1.2 Gig for D: as NTFS, 1.0 Gig for E: as NTFS, 1.0 Gig for F: as NTFS)
Insert the NT 4.0 CDRom and we will begin the IIS (Internet Information Server) 2.0 Install. Close the window that appears when the cd is inserted and click on the icon on the desktop for IIS install.
I created a directory on the D: drive, called secure, for any info we want to keep secure of course. This is the area we will use now. Under that main directory, we will need a few other directories. First group is "D:\apps\www & D:\apps\ftp" for the publishing of all of our internet info. The second directory is "D:\secure\InetSrv". This is for the IIS source files. I feel that they should not be mixed together with the others, and now we can control our shares. For the IIS install, we use the www and ftp subdirectories under InetPub for the locations of those files.
Setup DHCP as a server/service on this machine by going into the Admin tools. Serve addresses on the Onboard (internal) network. So I used a start address of 192.168.1.10, and an end address of 192.168.1.100. This seems as though it will provide plenty of room for now.
Installed tape drive/drivers next. Use control panel’s Tape drive applet. Choose 4mm and click ok. Enter H:\ for the OEM Tape Device Files. Go into drivers tab next, and click on add. Select 4mm and restart computer when prompted.
Installed Resource kit next, by inserting Resource Kit CD. Click on "Install Resource Kit". Use the same User Name and Company Name as we used in the NT install. Install into destination directory of D:\apps\NTResKit. Choose custom and select all !! Also installed Web Administration.
Right click on "My Computer" and choose the startup/shutdown tab. Then change the timeout variable from 30 to 5 seconds.
Launch an explorer session, and set the options for full detailed display, and other options so that we can see all the files.
Add Service Pak 3. Run the copied file from the Install area on the D: Drive, specifically d:\nt4.0\servpacks\serpack3. This will launch the service pack install. Install with and uninstall directory. Restart the PC when prompted.
Installed Oracle Developer 2000 Server : (see install sheet for developer 2000 - separate document)
Setup description for Server thru server manager.
In IIS properties, disabled the "Windows NT Challenge Response" option of the www service, and enabled Clear Text. This is needed to allow the Web Administration tool kit to work properly from non NT machines. In the ftp service, we disable anonymous login.
Had to go into the license manager, and setup 10 licenses for clients. Otherwise only a few of us could work.
Additional steps :
Copied NT4.0 server CD’s \i386 directory to D:\install\NT40\I386 directory. Copied all of the Service Pack 3 CD’s files from CD to D:\install\NT4.0\ServPack3 Setup D:\home for all users home directory. Will connect as H:\ on client. Added all users having them execute win95_shares.bat if 95 machines and winnt_shares.bat if nt workstations. Did full system backup. Created Emergency Repair diskette. Added the disk administrator info to the diskette. Startup the schedule service in the control panel, and make its start automatic. Add the admin scripts to D:\secure\admin and setup the cron table. Add three groups, Oracle Add ora_admin with password of ******** for id.
At this point it is important to understand the disk layout that will be used (required) for the setup of some of the software. I have chosen to go with a setup like this :
Partition Usage Size Format
Disk 0:
C : Winnt 1 Gig NTFS D : Apps 1 Gig NTFS E : Oracle 1 Gig NTFS F : Proxy 1 Gig NTFS G : CDRom
Installed Microsoft Proxy 2.0 :
Installed WinProxy 2.1f :
Installed PowerChute Plus software for UPS Monitoring :
