Objective 1.1: Install servers
Installation is a key topic and has been extensively tested in previous Windows Server exams.
There is no reason to believe the 70-410 exam will be different. This objective discusses
planning a Windows Server 2012 installation. It looks at the preinstallation requirements and
how you can prepare your installation hardware. It also considers the server roles you can
implement during installation.
The objective takes you through a clean installation of Windows Server Core 2012, and
describes how the Features on Demand function enables you to optimize resources by
removing all the files associated with a server role or feature you have chosen to delete. The
objective also looks at the options for upgrading a Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server
2008 R2 server to Windows Server 2012 and migrating roles from an existing server to a new
one.
This objective covers how to:
Plan for a server installation
Plan for server roles
Plan for a server upgrade
Install Server Core
Optimize resource utilization using Features on Demand
Migrate roles from previous versions of Windows Server
Planning for a server installation
In previous versions of Windows Server, installation planning could become a complex task.
You had to decide from the outset what edition of the operating system to install, whether to
install the 32-bit or 64-bit version, and whether you should perform a Server Core installation
or use the full graphical user interface (GUI). All of these decisions affected the server hardware
requirements, and all of them were irrevocable. To change the edition, the platform, or the
interface, you have to reinstall the server from scratch.
With Windows Server 2012, the options are reduced substantially, and so are the
installation decisions. There is no 32-bit version of Windows Server 2012; only a 64-bit
operating system is available—reflecting the fact that most major applications are now 64-bit
and that modern server configurations are typically supported on hardware that requires 64
bits. There are now only four Windows Server 2012 editions to choose from, down from six in
Windows Server 2008 R2. The Server Core and full GUI installation options still remain, along
with a third option, called the Minimal Server Interface. However, it is now possible to switch
among these options without having to reinstall the operating system.
