Windows Server 2019 Cookbook

Chapter 2: Core Infrastructure Tasks

There are a number of technologies in Windows Server 2019 that you need to know about if you plan to ever work in a Windows environment. These are technologies such as Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), Domain Name System (DNS), and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If you haven't noticed already, everything in the Windows world has an acronym. In fact, you may only recognize these items by their acronyms, and that's okay. Nobody calls DHCP by its full form anyway.

But do you know how to build these services and bring a Windows Server infrastructure online from scratch, with only a piece of hardware and a Windows Server 2019 installation disk to guide your way? This is why we are here today. I would like to instruct you on taking your first server and turning it into everything that you need to run a Microsoft network.

Every company and network is different and has different requirements. Some will get by with a...

Configuring a combination Domain Controller, DNS server, and DHCP server

The directory structure that Microsoft networks use to house their users and computer accounts is called Active Directory (AD), and the directory information is controlled and managed by Domain Controller (DC) servers. Two other server roles that almost always go hand-in-hand with Active Directory are DNS and DHCP, and in many networks, these three roles are combined on each server where they reside. A lot of small businesses have always made do with a single server containing all three of these roles, but in recent years, virtualization has become so easy that almost everyone runs at least two DCs for redundancy purposes. And if you are going to have two DCs, you may as well put the DNS and DHCP roles on them both to make those services redundant as well. But I'm getting ahead of myself. For this recipe, let's get started building these services by installing the roles and configuring them for the first...

Adding a second DC

AD is the core of your network. It has ties to everything! As such, it makes sense that you would want this to be as redundant as possible. In Windows Server 2019, creating a secondary DC is so easy that you really have no reason not to do it. Can you imagine rebuilding your directory by following a single server hardware failure where you have 100 user accounts and computers that are all part of the domain that just failed? How about with 1,000 or even 10,000 users? That could take weeks to clean up, and you'll probably never get it back exactly the way it was before. Additionally, while you are stuck in the middle of this downtime, you will have all kinds of trouble inside your network since your user and computer accounts are relying on AD, which would then be offline. In this recipe, we'll go through the steps you need to follow to take a second server into your network and join it to the existing domain that is running on the primary DC to create our...

Having worked professionally with one of the authors, Mark Henderson, I can confirm that this cookbook is the next best thing to having Mark on your team. Setting aside my own preference for working with Mark, it is clear Jordan Krause has also made considerable contributions to a well structured reference book.The chapters are broken down by function. As with most technical books, the value is not in reading beginning to end but in being able to rapidly find specific topics. The examples are clear and match the visuals expected while working with Windows Server 2019. Most importantly (to me) The example code sections have a copy button!

As a Linux user, although I am probably not from the intended audience, I found this book helpful as an introduction to modern Windows, which has come a long way in its improvements in automation. This book does a great job of introducing concepts in an approachable way (while conveying more specific procedures), and I much appreciated the focus on the command line interface.

It's, sadly, a scientific communication session about subjects in the book, NOT actually something you can learn from. It's only academic. If you want to learn, avoid it.
