| + | = Post Windows Installation | ||
| + | After installing Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 64 bits like [[windowsserver2008|this]] there is always a lot to configure before a server can be taken into production. | ||
| + | |||
| + | = Server Activation = | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | cscript c:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs -skms kms.company.local:1688 | ||
| + | cscript c:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs -ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX | ||
| + | cscript c:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs -ato | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | = Other Required Services = | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Vmware Tools == | ||
| + | Install Vmware Tools through the menu from the vSphere Client. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Eventlog to Syslog == | ||
| + | I want the event viewer to forward all event viewer events to syslog: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | C:\Users\administrator>cd c:\windows\system32 | ||
| + | |||
| + | c:\Windows\System32>evtsys -i -h <ipaddress-syslogserver> | ||
| + | Checking ignore file... | ||
| + | May 7 16:41:06 Error opening file: evtsys.cfg: The system cannot find the file | ||
| + | specified. | ||
| + | |||
| + | May 7 16:41:06 Creating file with filename: evtsys.cfg | ||
| + | Command completed successfully | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now, go into your services.msc and start the service. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Telnet Client == | ||
| + | Windows Server 2008 comes by default without a telnet client which is a no go in my opinion. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I used these steps to add the telnet client to Windows Server 2008 active features: | ||
| + | |||
| + | # Open Server Manager by clicking Start -> 'Server Manager' | ||
| + | # Click on 'features' from the left panel in Server Manager | ||
| + | # Click on 'Add Features' | ||
| + | # From the available list of features select 'Telnet Client' and click 'Next' | ||
| + | # Click on 'Install' | ||
| + | # Click 'Close' | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Windows Security == | ||
| + | I disabled the Windows Firewall and disabled Internet Explorer Enhanced Security. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Windows Domain == | ||
| + | I added the server to the domain. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Remote Desktop == | ||
| + | Enabled Remote Desktop and added the 'Remote Desktop Users' group as allowed group. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Allowed Administration Groups == | ||
| + | Add the Active Directory group ServerAdministrators to the local administrators group to allow administration. | ||
