Chapter Overview • Network Operating Systems • Network Clients • Directory Services
Microsoft Windows for Workgroups Microsoft Windows 95 Microsoft Windows 98 Microsoft Windows Me Windows Operating Systems • Microsoft Windows NT • Microsoft Windows 2000 • Microsoft Windows XP Professional • Microsoft Windows .NET Server
Microsoft Windows NT • First released in 1993 • Provides preemptive multitasking • Integrates networking into the operating system
Workstation Server Windows NT/Windows 2000 Versions • Professional • Server • Advanced Server • Datacenter Server
FAT File System • The file allocation table (FAT) is compatible with MS-DOS–based operating systems. • The original version (FAT16) supports drives up to 2 GB only. • FAT32 supports drives of virtually any size.
NT File System (NTFS) • Supports larger files and drives than FAT does • Provides increased security • Supported by Windows NT and Windows 2000 • Not supported by MS-DOS–based operating systems
Windows NT/Windows 2000 Mandatory Networking Services • Server • Workstation • Computer Browser • Messenger • Alerter • Netlogon
Windows NT/Windows 2000 Optional Networking Services • Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) • Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) • Domain Name System (DNS) Server • Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server • Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) • Distributed file system (Dfs) • Microsoft Cluster Server
Novell NetWare • First commercially successful network operating system • Former market leader • Pure client/server operating system
NetWare Versions • 3.2: final bindery version • 6.0: latest Novell Directory Services (NDS) version
Comparison of Operating System Design Objectives • Novell NetWare was originally designed to provide file and print services. • UNIX was designed to provide application services. • Microsoft Windows was designed to provide both application services and file and print services.
NetWare File System • Uses name space modules to support native client file systems • Provides individual file and folder security
NetWare Protocols • Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) • Proprietary • Supported by all NetWare versions • Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) • Limited support in NetWare 4.x • Native support added to version 5.0and later versions
UNIX Variants • UNIX System V • Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) UNIX • Sun Solaris • Linux • Hardware-specific UNIX variants
UNIX Characteristics • Peer-to-peer operating system • Character-based interface • Uses TCP/IP • Designed primarily as an application server • Runs on various processors • Based on the open source software concept
Original Macintosh Networking • Built-in network interface adapter • Proprietary AppleTalk protocols • AppleShare file and print services
Current Macintosh Networking • Uses EtherTalk and TokenTalk • Uses TCP/IP • Usually used on all-Macintosh networks
Network Clients and Client Types • A client is a software component that enables a computer to access server resources. • The client types are • Client applications • Client modules
Client Applications • Separate programs that communicate with a server in the network • Examples: • Web browsers • File Transfer Protocol (FTP) clients • E-mail clients • Newsreaders
Client Modules • Integrated into an operating system • Provide other applications with access to server resources
Redirectors • A redirector is an operating system component that forwards resource requests generated by an application to a network server. • Windows can run multiple client redirectors simultaneously. • Multiple redirectors can use different protocols.
Gateway Service for NetWare (GSNW) • Included with Windows 2000 and Windows NT Server • Provides basic NetWare connectivity • Must be used with NWLink • Functions as a gateway that enables computers running Windows without NetWare clients to access NetWare resources
Novell Clients for Windows • Included with Novell NetWare • Offers the following versions: • Novell Client for DOS/Windows • Novell Client for Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows Me • Novell Client for Windows NT/Windows 2000
Novell Clients for Windows (Cont.) • Use Novell’s IPX, not NWLink • Can use Open Data-link Interface (ODI) or Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) network adapter drivers • Can run NetWare Administrator
Macintosh Connectivity Tools • Microsoft Services for Macintosh • Novell Client for MacOS • Novell Native File Access for Macintosh
UNIX Client Capabilities • Includes TCP/IP client programs • Requires additional products for client file system access
Directory Service Types • Flat file • Hierarchical
NetWare Bindery • Used by NetWare version 3.2 and earlier • Database of user and group accounts for a single NetWare server
Novell Directory Services • Introduced in NetWare 4.0 • Originally called NetWare Directory Services • Consists of objects arranged in a hierarchical structure
NDS Objects and Object Types • Objects are logical entities composed of units of data called properties. • There are two types of objects: • Container objects. Organizational objects that can hold other containers or leaves • Leaf objects. Objects that represent network resources
Windows NT Domains • Flat file directory database • Not server specific • Stored on domain controllers
Windows NT Domain Controllers • Primary Domain Controller (PDC). Contains master copy of directory database • Backup Domain Controller (BDC). Contains replicas of the master directory database
Active Directory Hierarchy • Introduced in Windows 2000 Server • Hierarchical directory service based on Windows NT domains • Expands the domain concept into the enterprise • Domains can be grouped into trees. • Trees can be grouped into forests.
Chapter Summary • The Windows NT, Windows 2000, and UNIX operating systems include both server and client functionality. • Novell NetWare is strictly a client/server network operating system. • Windows NT and Windows 2000 were designed to provide application services and file and print services. • A client is a software component that enables a computer to access server resources. • Client types include client applications and client modules. • A directory service is a centralized database of user accounts and other information that administrators use to control access to shared network resources. • Active Directory replicates changes to the data on any domain controller to all of the other domain controllers on the network.
