Module 2: Active Directory Domain Services, and Domain Controllers,

Installing a Domain Controller
Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is a server role in Active
Directory that allows admins to manage and store information about resources
from a network, as well as application data, in a distributed database.
A domain controller is a server that responds to authentication requests and
verifies users on computer networks. 

Domains are a hierarchical way of organizing users and computers that work

together on the same network. The domain controller keeps all of that data
organized and secured.

Implementing File and Print Services

we will see how to install a Print Server which plays some very important roles
for the system administrator and the management. We should follow the steps
given below.

Step 1: Go to Server Manager → Manage

Step 2 − Add Roles and Features → Next → Check on the Role- or feature-based
installation → Check on

box and → Check on Select a server from the server pool and then → Next.

Once it is done then, at the list of the roles find Print and Document Services →
A popup window will open.
Step 3 − Click on Add features and then → Next → Next → Next.
Step 4 − Check on the Print Server and → Next.

 Configuring Network Printing

Step 1: Go to Server Manager → Tools

Step 2 – Click print management

Step 3 – Click on Print Server and choose Printers

Step 4 – Configure printers.

Easy Printing is a feature which allows the client that connects via RDS to print
over the network. It is installed in Windows server 2012 by default. Easy Printing
is basically where the printer device is defined on the client system and a printer
is connected directly via the network. All configuration is done via Group Policy
Objects.

The configuration settings can be found at – Administrative Templates –Remote

Desktop Services – Printer Redirection.

For User Configuration

User Configuration, it will be having the same path – Administrative Templates –

Remote Desktop Services – Printer Redirection.

In administration, another important aspect is to set the priority for the printer, so
the users have the same printer installer and can print as per their priorities. In
this, the users printing with higher priorities overpass the printing will lower
priorities.

To do so, you need to add different logical printers and then add then as per the
users or departments that have different priorities.

To do this, firstly let us add a printer to the print server by following the steps
given below.

Step 1 − Click on Server Manager → Tools → Print Management → then on the

left panel click Print Servers → then right click on Printers and → Add Printer
Step 2 − Next, follow the wizard to add the network printer like you do for a
normal workstation and at the end this printer will be shown in the Printer
Management.

Step 3 − Now that we have installed the printer, we can set the priority on this
printer – Right click on the printer → Advanced → put a number at Priority from
1-99 → OK.
