Note on Operating System updates: The text and all activities are based on the RTM version of
Windows Server 2008, not SP1, SP2, or Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM. There are known issues with
specific activities such as BitLocker when working with SP2. It is recommended that you run the RTM
version of Windows. If you choose to apply any available service packs and/or updates, you may
experience issues or functionality change compared with the textbook. Also, additions of the software
such as WSUS and Network Monitor specified in the text may not be available from Microsoft. Please
provide your students with the current software version you wish for them to use. Keep in mind that
newer versions of software may have different functionality and appearance so some steps in activities
may change.
Chapter 1
Chapter 1 - p. 3 should read
Trusts between Active Directory domains in a forest are created automatically when you create domains
in Windows Server 2008. These are called transitive trusts. In Windows NT domains prior to Windows
2000, administrators created all trusts manually.
Pg. 8, Step 5 should read:
Enter your product key if you have one and are required to enter the key. You can install Windows
Server 2008 without a product key.
Chapter 2
Pg. 46 Should Read:
Out-of-Box Experience The most common cleanup action with Sysprep is to use the system OOBE when
generalizing images. This combination will remove the computer security identifier (SID), reset the
computer activation, and boot the computer into Windows Welcome.
Pg. 50 title should read:
Installing Windows Server 2008
Pg. 50 should read:
This section explores the three installation methods available for Windows Server 2008. Each of the
following methods has a purpose and place within a network:
• DVD/USB boot installation
• Network distribution share installation
• Image-based installation
DVD/USB Boot Installation Probably the most familiar of the installation methods is using physical
installation media. Windows Server 2008 can be installed via optical drive (that is a DVD drive) or via
USB flash drive. This type of installation is called a DVD boot installation and is the most common
media-based type. Installing with a USB flash drive is new and not yet as popular as using a DVD.
However, with the advent of USB 2.0 and servers that can boot from the drives in their USB ports, USB
flash drives are the perfect media for installing Windows Server 2008. Whether using optical or flash
media, this installation method requires you to be present at the server. Activity 1-1, where you
installed Windows Server 2008, is an example of a DVD installation.
Page 52 Activity 2-4 should read:
1. Log onto your server.
2. Click Start, type Windows PE Command Prompt in the Start Search box. When it Windows PE
Command Prompt appears, select it and press enter to launch.
3. Type md c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\ImageFolder and then press Enter to create a new directory
called ImageFolder in the folder created for this chapter. This represents a distribution point to
contain the .wim file created with ImageX.
4. Change to the directory containing ImageX by using the following cd command:
cd \Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\
5. Next, run the following ImageX command to create an image of the c:\windows\fonts direc
tory from the command prompt:
imagex /capture “c:\Windows\fonts”
“c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagefolder\Server2008Fonts.wim” “All
Installed Fonts”
6. Leave the command prompt window open for the next exercise.
Pg 53 should read:
Consider an example of this command:
imagex /mount “c:\Images\Server2008.wim” “Standard” c:\imagefolder\
In this command, you are using ImageX to mount the image named “Standard” from the
Server2008.wim file to c:\imagefolder\. Remember that the image is read-only. If you want to write to
this image, use /mountrw instead of /mount, as shown in the following command:
imagex /mountrw “c:\Images\Server2008.wim” “Standard_RW”
c:\imagefolder\
Pg 53 Activity 2-5 should read:
1. Open the Windows PE Command Prompt from the start menu, if necessary.
2.
Type md c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\ImageMountFolder to create a new directory called
ImageMountFolder. This is the mount point for your image within the file system.
3. Next, run the following ImageX command to mount the image Server2008Fonts.wim to the
c:\MCTS_40642\Ch2\ImageMountFolder directory from the command prompt:
imagex /mount “c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagefolder\Server2008fonts.wim” “All Installed
Ionts” “c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagemountfolder”
4. Open Windows Explorer and browse to c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\ImageMountFolder.5. Create a file
named Server2008SuperFont.txt by right-clicking a blank spot in the folder window, pointing to
New on the shortcut menu, and then clicking Text Document. Use Server2008SuperFont.txt as
the file name. Note that access is denied because you did not mount the image as read/write.
5. Before mounting the image as read/write, unmount the current image as follows:
imagex /unmount “c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagemountfolder”
6. Rerun the ImageX command as follows using the /mountrw option:
imagex /mountrw “c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagefolder\Server2008fonts.wim” “All
Installed Fonts” “c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagemountfolder”
7. Create a file named Server2008SuperFont.txt and leave Windows Explorer open. This time you
should be successful.
8. Commit and dismount the image using the following command:
imagex /unmount /commit “c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagemountfolder”
9. In your Windows Explorer window, press F5 to refresh the screen. You should no longer have any
files listed in c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\ImageMountFolder.
10. Close the Command Prompt.
Pg. 54 step 9 should read:
Imagex /mountrw “c:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagefolder\Server2008fonts.wim” “all installed fonts”
“C:\MCTS_70642\Ch2\imagemountfolder”

 There is no way to upgrade from a previous version of the Windows Server operating system to
a Server Core installation. Only a clean installation is supported.
 There is no way to upgrade from a full installation of Windows Server 2008 to a Server Core
installation. Only a clean installation is supported.
 There is no way to upgrade from a Server Core installation to a full installation of Windows
Server 2008. If you need the Windows® user interface or a server role that is not supported in a
Server Core installation, you will need to install a full installation of Windows Server 2008.

your servers. WinRM, rmtshare, and other management utilities are covered in depth in Chapter 11.
Chapter 3
Pg. 83 Should read:
Network Bridges Network bridges connect one or more networks segments. Like a switch, a bridge
uses MAC addresses for managing traffic. A bridge learns from the traffic it processes, so it can
associate a port with the specific MAC address to which it is connected. After the bridge associates a
port and an address, it sends traffic for that address only to that port. This creates more efficient traffic
on the network. Bridges work on the Layer 2 of the OSI model.
Pg 83 should read:
• The Data Link layer is responsible for communications between adjacent network nodes. Bridges
and switches operate at the Data Link layer.
Pg 94 Activity table should look like this:

Pg 97 should read:
In cases where you cannot contact a DHCP server, even though the client is configured for dynamic

following steps should be completed on each machine:
Disable TCP/IPv6
1. Uncheck “Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6)” from all of your connections and adapters
and component in the list under “This connection uses the following items.” This will not be an
option on Server Core so you will just modify the registry.
2. Open Registry Editor, Regedit.exe
3. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\
4. Right click on “Parameters”, choose “New”, choose “DWORD (32-bit) Value”
