Lab 3: Installing BDCIndex

LAB3: INSTALL NT SERVER [BDC]
Ensure that the PDC previously installed in LAB1 is running. You will be performing a network install. Please consider defining the following information before continuing.

Name of This Computer  
Name of Domain  
Role of This Computer Backup Domain Controller
Network Share for NT Server Files \\ICE\nt4srv
Directory to store NT Server Files D:\NT4SRV
Name of Installer  
Organization  

Most of the computers have been set up already, and are configured as follows

Drive Partition Type Operating System Installed
C NTFS Windows NT Workstation
D NTFS  

Beware: You are going to install Windows NT Server onto a computer which has operating systems already installed. The disk is already partitioned. Be very careful you follow the instructions, and if unsure, ASK.

YOU WILL INSTALL WINDOWS NT SERVER ONTO THE EXISTING NTFS PARTITION [DRIVE D:]

Step 1: Install the Backup Domain Controller

  1. Boot the existing computer under Windows NT W/S
  2. Logon to the local computer using the account provided by your supervisor
  3. Connect to the following share-point
    \\ICE\nt4srv
  4. Run the setup program winnt32.exe using the /Bx option
    [Start->Run->\\ice\nt4srv\i386\winnt32.exe /Bx]

Proceed in the same manner as for installing the PDC.

During the step Gathering Information About Your Computer
Enter the type of server you are installing as a BDC [Backup Domain Controller]

During the step Networking
Enter the name of the Domain, the administrator name as "administrator", and leave the password field blank

STEP 2: RESTART THE BDC AFTER THE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE

STEP 3: MODIFY THE BOOT.INI FILE
Change the NT Server Version 4.00 line to reflect the role of this computer in a similar way which you did earlier for the PDC. The entry should refer to this computer as a BDC.
