To my patient and lovely wife, Andrea, and children, Ethan and Jaelyn,

who have learned to put up with me, and to my parents, Paul and Gayle,

who fostered my love for computers ever since they were told my

handwriting would never get any better.

AcknowledgmentsIt took a lot of hard work and patience to complete this book, as it does all publications. Thanks to Jeff Kellum and Denise Santoro Lincoln for being patient and considerate despite the scheduling setbacks and for retraining me on the format changes. Also, the production team of Christine O’Connor and Judy Flynn were top-notch and a joy to work with. They did an impeccable job making sure we were not just technically sound but also grammatically correct!

Thanks to Rawlinson Rivera for helping get this book going and for recommending me for this project. I hope you are feeling better and look forward to our next project! One of our pinch hitters was Jabez Gan Ming Teik, who really came through by getting a chapter reworked after a change in objectives on the Microsoft exam.

This book was a bit of a test for me and caused me to have to rely on a number of col-leagues for a little help with developing the content. Without Erik Gustafson, Mike Hodson, and Siegfried Jagott, this book would not have been possible.

Last, I’d like to thank both the Monster Beverage Company and Hearthroast for fueling the late-night writing sessions with Lo-Carb Monster and home-roasted coffee.

About the AuthorJoel Stidley has been working in the IT field for over 12 years and has been a computer fanatic for much longer. He obtained his first Microsoft certification in 1999 and is cur-rently both an MCSE and MCTS. At the beginning of his IT career, he was supporting MS-DOS and Windows for Workgroups clients on a Novell NetWare network at a small manufacturing company. Shortly thereafter, he discovered the joys of Windows NT Server and led the charge in converting that company from a Novell NetWare directory to a Win-dows NT domain. He also convinced the company’s engineering department to switch from the SunOS-based workstations to new Windows NT 4.0 Workstation machines. Joel has since taken on numerous other projects, from a number of Active Directory and Exchange Server migrations to deploying large-scale virtualization environments.

In 2004, Joel founded ExchangeExchange.com, a Microsoft Exchange–focused com-munity website where he blogs and provides forums for discussing Exchange, PowerShell, certification, and general Windows information. In the last few years, he has also contrib-uted to MCITP: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Messaging Design and Deployment Study Guide: Exams 70-237 and 70-238 (Sybex, 2008) and was lead author on Profes-sional PowerShell for Exchange Server 2007 SP1 (Wrox, 2008). Currently he is a solutions architect at Terremark Worldwide Inc. where he works with a variety of directory, storage, virtualization, and messaging technologies. He currently lives in the Dallas area with his wife and two children.

About the ContributorsErik R. Gustafson is a 7-year veteran of the IT consulting and IT support business. He started working professionally with Microsoft products while running a successful signage business in 1995, and after selling the business a few years later, he refocused his career on providing IT services. He obtained his first Microsoft certification in 2002 and is currently an MCSE and an MCSA. The last few years he has spent helping grow an IT consulting business and setting up an IT outsourcing MSP from the ground up. He recently relocated to the Dallas area and now works as a solutions architect for Terremark Worldwide Inc. When not shooting womp rats back home, Erik enjoys drinking piña coladas and getting caught in the rain.

Mike Hodson has a bachelor of science in mathematics from Texas Woman’s University and has worked in the IT industry for more than 11 years, receiving his first Microsoft cer-tification in 1998. He has been working with desktop virtualization for more than 6 years and recently has been deeply involved with server virtualization projects. Mike is currently the team lead in the group responsible for storage networking and virtualization at Terre-mark Worldwide Inc. in Dallas, Texas.

IntroductionMicrosoft has recently changed its certification program to contain three primary series: Technology, Professional, and Architect. The Technology Series of certifications is intended to allow candidates to target specific technologies and is the basis for obtaining the Profes-sional Series and Architect Series of certifications. The certifications contained within the Technology Series consist of one to three exams, focus on a specific technology, and do not include job-role skills. By contrast, the Professional Series of certifications focus on a job role and are not necessarily focused on a single technology but rather a comprehensive set of skills for performing the job role being tested. The Architect Series of certifications offered by Microsoft includes premier certifications that consist of passing a review board made up of previously certified architects. To apply for the Architect Series of certifications, you must have a minimum of 10 years of industry experience.

When obtaining a Technology Series certification, you are recognized as a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) on the specific technology or technologies that you have been tested on. The Professional Series certifications include Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) and Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD). Passing the review board for an Architect Series certification will allow you to become a Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA).

This book has been developed to give you the critical skills and knowledge you need to prepare for the exam requirement for obtaining the MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Applica-tions Infrastructure, Configuring (Exam 70-643).

The Microsoft Certified Professional ProgramSince the inception of its certification program, Microsoft has certified more than 2 million people. As the computer network industry continues to increase in both size and complexity, this number is sure to grow—and the need for proven ability will also increase. Certifications can help companies verify the skills of prospective employees and contractors.

Microsoft has developed its Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) program to give you credentials that verify your ability to work with Microsoft products effectively and professionally. Several levels of certification are available based on specific suites of exams. Microsoft has recently created a new generation of certification programs:

Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) The MCTS can be considered the entry-level certification for the new generation of Microsoft certifications. The MCTS cer-tification program targets specific technologies instead of specific job roles. You must take and pass one to three exams.

Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) The MCITP certification is a Professional Series certification that tests network and systems administrators on job roles rather than only on a specific technology. The MCITP generally consists of passing one to three exams in addition to obtaining an MCTS-level certification.

61705flast.indd 25 6/27/08 9:36:04 AM

xxvi Introduction

Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) The MCPD certification is a Profes-sional Series certification for application developers. Similar to the MCITP, the MCPD is focused on a job role rather than on a single technology. The MCPD generally consists of passing one to three exams in addition to obtaining an MCTS-level certification.

Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA) The MCA is Microsoft’s premier certification series. Obtaining the MCA requires a minimum of 10 years of experience and requires the candi-date to pass a review board consisting of peer architects.

How Do You Become Certified on Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure?Attaining a Microsoft certification has always been a challenge. In the past, students have been able to acquire detailed exam information—even most of the exam questions—from online “brain dumps” and third-party “cram” books or software products. For the new generation of exams, this is simply not the case.

Microsoft has taken strong steps to protect the security and integrity of its new certi-fication tracks. Now prospective candidates must complete a course of study that devel-ops detailed knowledge about a wide range of topics. It supplies them with the true skills needed, derived from working with the technology being tested.

The new generations of Microsoft certification programs are heavily weighted toward hands-on skills and experience. It is recommended that candidates have troubleshooting skills acquired through hands-on experience and working knowledge.

Fortunately, if you are willing to dedicate the time and effort to learn the Windows Server 2008 applications infrastructure, you can prepare yourself well for the exam by using the proper tools. By working through this book, you can successfully meet the requirements to pass the Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure exam.

This book is part of a complete series of Microsoft certification Study Guides, published by Sybex Inc., that together cover the new MCTS, MCITP, and MCPD exams as well as the core MCSA and MCSE operating system requirements. Please visit the Sybex website at www.sybex.com for complete program and product details.

MCTS Exam RequirementsCandidates for MCTS certification on Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure must pass one Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure exam. Other MCTS cer-tifications may require up to three exams. For a more detailed description of the Microsoft certification programs, including a list of all the exams, visit the Microsoft Learning web-site at www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp.

Introduction xxvii

The Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure, Configuring ExamThe Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure exam covers concepts and skills related to installing, configuring, and managing Windows Server 2008 applications. This includes the following applications:

SharePoint ServicesNN

Windows Deployment ServicesNN

Terminal Services NN

Internet Information Services 7.0NN

It emphasizes the basic Windows Server 2008 roles and features required to configure and support this functionality.

Microsoft provides exam objectives to give you a general overview of pos-sible areas of coverage on the Microsoft exams . Keep in mind, however, that exam objectives are subject to change at any time without prior notice and at Microsoft’s sole discretion . Please visit the Microsoft Learning web-site (www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp) for the most current listing of exam objectives .

Types of Exam QuestionsIn an effort to both refine the testing process and protect the quality of its certifications, Microsoft has focused its newer certification exams on real experience and hands-on profi-ciency. There is a greater emphasis on your past working environments and responsibilities and less emphasis on how well you can memorize. In fact, Microsoft says that certification candi-dates should have hands-on experience before attempting to pass any certification exams.

Microsoft will accomplish its goal of protecting the exams’ integrity by regularly adding and removing exam questions, limiting the number of questions that any individual sees in a beta exam, limiting the number of questions delivered to an individual by using adaptive testing, and adding new exam elements .

Exam questions may be in a variety of formats. Depending on which exam you take, you’ll see multiple choice questions, as well as drag-and-drop, build list and reorder, and hot area questions. Simulations and case study-based formats are included as well. You may also find yourself taking what’s called an adaptive format exam. Let’s take a look at the types of exam questions and examine the adaptive testing technique so you’ll be prepared for all of the possibilities.

xxviii Introduction

With the release of Windows 2000, Microsoft stopped providing a detailed score breakdown . This is mostly because of the various and complex ques-tion formats . Previously, each question focused on one objective . However, recent exams, such as the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory exam, contain questions that may be tied to one or more objectives from one or more objective sets . Therefore, grading by objective is almost impossible . Also, Microsoft no longer offers a score . Now you will only be told if you pass or fail .

Multiple Choice Questions

Multiple choice questions come in two main forms. One is a straightforward question followed by several possible answers, of which one or more is correct. The other type of multiple choice question is more complex and based on a specific scenario. The scenario may focus on several areas or objectives.

Drag-and-Drop Questions

Drag-and-drop exam questions involve graphical elements that you must manipulate to successfully answer the question. For example, you might see a diagram of a computer net-work, as shown in the following graphic taken from the select-and-place demo downloaded from Microsoft’s website.
