Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Site Preparation Guide

ProcedureTo Set Up the Windows RIS Server

Steps

  1. Install Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition operating system for 32–bit systems with Service Pack 1 on the Windows RIS server.

    Create a separate NTFS partition that contains 800 Mbytes for each Windows operating system image that you want to provision. The Windows OS image partition should be on a drive or logical partition other than the C: drive. You will prompted for the partition information when you configure the N1 System Manager.

    Note –

    If you already have a machine that is running Windows 2003 Server 32-bit Enterprise edition without Service Pack 1, you can install just the Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 on the server See Microsoft Knowledge Base Article #891128.

  2. Install and configure Active Directory Server on the RIS server.

    During installation of Active Directory Server software on your RIS server, identify your RIS server as a domain controller. For information about Active Directory Server, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 324753

  3. Install and configure the RIS server software on the RIS server.

    For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 325862.

    Note –

    While installing RIS server, add a Windows 2003 x64 Risetup.exe image or the Windows 2003-Service Pack 1 x86 Risetup.exe image on the RIS server.

    If the Windows Server 2003 SP1 RISETUP image is the first image to be uploaded to the RIS server, the new OS chooser screen (x8664.osc ) is copied to the RIS server by default.

    If there are existing Windows OS images on the RIS server at the time the first Windows Server 2003 SP1 image is added, you must choose whether to overwrite (or backup and overwrite) the OS chooser screens during the installation to get the new screen. See Microsoft Knowledge Base Article #891128.

  4. Install Cygwin© on the RIS Server and configure Open Secure Shell Service (OpenSsh service) for Windows 2003 on the RIS server as n1smssh user.

    For more information, see the Cygwin Home Page and the Open Ssh Windows Install Instructions. For information about removing existing Cygwin packages, see http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_2.html#SEC20.

    The Cygwin install source is located in the install media Windows directory.
