Appendix 98-367 Lab Setup Guide GETTING STARTED The 98-367 exam in the Microsoft Official Academic Course (MOAC) series includes a textbook with sample exercises. The exercises are written for classroom use under the supervision of an instructor or lab aide. In an academic setting, the computer lab might be used by a variety of classes each day, so you must plan your setup procedure accordingly. For example, consider automating the classroom setup procedure and using removable hard disks in the classroom. You can use the automated setup procedure to rapidly configure the classroom environment, and remove the fixed disks after teaching this class each day.

LAB CONFIGURATION This course should be taught in a lab containing networked computers where students can develop their skills through handson experience with Microsoft Windows. The exercises in the lab manual require the computers to be installed and configured in a specific manner. Failure to adhere to the setup instructions in this document can produce unanticipated results when the students perform the exercises. The lab configuration consists of an instructor computer running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise and the student computers running Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate. While the students will be looking at those services provided by the instructor computer and his or her local computer, there are no services that will affect other computers within the school. Therefore, the computers can exist within the same network as the other classrooms. In addition, students will need to have access to the Internet. Each workstation will be a member of the domain that will be hosted by the instructor server and the students will need to have local administrative account called Student and a domain administrator called StudentXX where XX is the number assigned to the computer. Note For the purposes of this lab, all server and workstation passwords, for user accounts and other purposes, will be set to Pa$$w0rd. This is obviously not a secure practice in a real world situation,

and instructors should remind students of this at the outset.
