Network Requirements

Table 2. Network Requirements.

Details

In addition to the hardware requirements specified in Table 1, be aware of the following network requirements:

Do not use Diamond video cards. They are packaged with a program titled Intel Net caster. This program is incompatible with our software.

• Except for your (optional) modem line, and/or Internet connection, there should be no way for any out-of-network computer to communicate with the testing workstations.

Note: Testing workstations need to have an Internet connection in order to fully comply with the Level 3

requirements.

• The Windows 2003 server must have Service Pack 2.

• All the computers must be connected to the LAN.

The drive letter F: should not exist prior to Prometric software installation. If F: does exist (because it is being used for a partition, device, etc.), assign a different, unused letter to that partition or device before beginning the APTC installation. During the installation, the drive F: will be automatically created.

• Hard drives must use the NTFS file system.

• The 2003 server must be set up as the primary Domain Controller of a separate Domain (do not set it up in a sub-Domain, trusted Domain, shadow Domain or stand-alone configuration).

• Log into the Windows 2003 Server as the administrator, not an equivalent.

• Make sure that TCP/IP is the only protocol used during the Network Setup.

Additional Network Configurations

Table 3. Additional Network Configurations.

Details

Network and router configurations must be able to access:

• Port 1555, 11001, 11002, 443, 80 bidirectional traffic

• “Table 4. IP Addresses and Ranges.” contains complete list of network destinations and associated ports for configuration by IP address

• “Table 5. Host Names.” contains complete list of network destinations and associate ports by host name

Internet Explorer Trusted Sites:

• *.prometric.com

• *.microsoft.com

(Wildcard* indicates that that all Prometric and Microsoft sites are trusted.)

Note: If you do not want to set Internet Explorer to trust all Prometric and Microsoft sites, add the individual

sites listed in “Table 5. Host Names.”

Windows 2003 Server Installation Guide - 4

Installation

Server Installation Basics

Table 6. Server Installation Basics.

Details

To begin the installation procedure, boot directly from the Windows Server 2003 SP2 CD.

The set-up creates disk partitions on the computer running Windows Server 2003, formats the drive, and then copies installation files from the CD to the server.

Prometric does not allow the use of Virtual Machine (VM) technology for test delivery.

Notes:

• Your CD-ROM must support bootable CDs.

• When you configure partitions and format drives, all data on the server hard drive is destroyed.

These instructions assume that you are installing Windows Server 2003 on a computer that is not already running Windows. Avoid upgrading from an existing Operating System by installing a fresh version of

Windows Server 2003.

Installation Procedures

Table 7. Installation Procedures.

Step

Details

1 Insert the Windows Server 2003 SP2 CD in the CD-ROM drive of the computer you will be using as a server.

2 Restart the computer. If prompted, press any key to boot from the CD. The Windows Server 2003 installation begins.

3 On the Welcome to Setup screen, press Enter. The License Agreement screen appears.

4 Review and, if acceptable, agree to the agreement by pressing F8.

Note: If you had a previous version of Windows Server 2003 installed on the server, you might get

a message asking if you want to repair the drive. Press Esc to continue and do not repair the drive.

5 Follow the instructions to delete all existing disk partitions. The exact steps will differ based on the number and type of partitions already on the computer. Continue to delete partitions until all disk space is labeled as Unpartitioned Space.

6 After all disk space has been labeled as Unpartitioned Space, press C to create a partition in the

Unpartitioned Space on the first disk drive (size as applicable, ex: 25000 MB).

7 Delete the total space default value. Type the value of your total disk space (in MB) at the Create

Partition of Size prompt. Press Enter.

Note: The total disk space available is displayed when you format the drive. You determine how

much you want to allocate to the new partition.

8 After the New <Raw> partition is created, press Enter.

9 Select Format the Partition using the NTFS file system <Quick>. Press Enter.

10 The Windows Server 2003 Setup formats the partition and then copies the files from the Windows

Server 2003 Server CD to the hard drive. 11 The server will restart.

12 The Windows Server 2003 Setup Wizard appears. It will detect and install devices.

Note: This can take several minutes. During the process, your screen may flicker.

13 In the Regional and Language Options dialog box, be sure that your Regional Options are set to

English US and the short date format - MM/dd/yyyy. In addition, ensure that the Language for

Configure Your Server as a Domain Controller

Table 10. Configuring Your Server as a Domain Controller Procedures.

Step

Details

The IT server must be set up as a Domain Controller (not a member server). Domain Name Service (DNS) and DCPromo (the command-line tool that creates DNS and Active Directory) can be installed manually or by using the Windows Server 2003 Manage Your Server Wizard. This section uses the manual tools to complete the installation.

Note: It is best to join the workstations to the Domain after installing all the required APTC testing software on

the 2003 Domain Controller

To install DNS and Active Directory using the manual tools:

1 Click Start, Run. Type DCPROMO, and then click OK.

2 When the Active Directory Installation Wizard appears, click Next to begin the installation. 3 Review the Operating System Compatibility information. Click Next.

4 Select Domain Controller for a New Domain (default), and then click Next. 5 Select Domain in a New Forest (default). Click Next.

(This represents a fully qualified name = includes a .com at the end of the name.)

Note: The Domain name is created by the person setting up the network. It should be short with no

dashes or symbols. Examples: APTC or center number.

7 Click Next to accept the default Domain NetBIOS Name. (NetBIOS names provide for down-level

compatibility.)

default location, and then click Next to continue.

9 Leave the default folder location for Shared System Volume. Click Next.

Antivirus Software

Table 13. antivirus Software.

Details

• Antivirus software should be installed on all APTC computers.

• Avoid software such as McAfee with an “update agent” because the Agent will revert the regional options on the computer to match the ones on the local distribution requirements. This will prevent most UTD exams from running on your workstations.

Pre-Configuration Check

Table 14. Pre-Configuration Check.

Details

• Ensure that Server 2003 w/SP2 is set-up as a Domain Controller.
