Introduction
ОглавлениеThis book is drawn from more than 20 years of IT experience. I have taken that experience and translated it into a Windows Server 2012 R2 book that will help you not only prepare for the MCSA: Windows Server 2012 R2 exams but also develop a clear understanding of how to install and configure Windows Server 2012 R2 while avoiding all of the possible configuration pitfalls.
Many Microsoft books just explain the Windows operating system, but with MCSA: Windows Server 2012 R2 Complete Study Guide, I go a step further by providing many in-depth, step-by-step procedures to support my explanations of how the operating system performs at its best.
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 is the newest version of Microsoft’s server operating system software. Microsoft has taken the best of Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2012 and combined them into the latest creation, Windows Server 2012 R2.
Windows Server 2012 R2 eliminates many of the problems that plagued the previous versions of Windows Server, and it includes a much faster boot time and shutdown. It is also easier to install and configure, and it barely stops to ask the user any questions during installation. In this book, I will show you what features are installed during the automated installation and where you can make changes if you need to be more in charge of your operating system and its features.
This book takes you through all the ins and outs of Windows Server 2012 R2, including installation, configuration, Group Policy Objects, auditing, backups, and so much more.
Windows Server 2012 R2 has improved on Microsoft’s desktop environment, made networking easier, enhanced searching capability, and improved performance – and that’s only scratching the surface.
When all is said and done, this is a technical book for IT professionals who want to take Windows Server 2012 R2 to the next step and get certified. With this book, not only will you learn Windows Server 2012 R2 and ideally pass the exams, you will also become a Windows Server 2012 R2 expert.
The Microsoft Certification Program
Since 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.
The Microsoft certification tracks for Windows Server 2012 R2 include the following:
MCSA: Windows Server 2012 R2 The MCSA is now the lowest-level certification you can achieve with Microsoft in relation to Windows Server 2012 R2. It requires passing three exams: 70-410, 70-411, and 70-412. Or, if you qualify, you can take the Upgrading exam: exam 70-417. This book assists in your preparation for all four exams.
MCSE: Server Infrastructure or MCSE: Desktop Infrastructure The MCSE certifications, in relation to Windows Server 2012 R2, require that you become an MCSA first and then pass two additional exams. The additional exams will vary depending on which of the two MCSE tracks you choose. For more information, visit Microsoft’s website at www.microsoft.com/learning.
MCSM: Directory Services The MCSM certification takes things to an entirely new level. It requires passing a knowledge exam (in addition to having the MCSE in Windows Server 2012 R2) and a lab exam. This is now the elite-level certification in Windows Server 2012 R2.
How Do You Become Certified on Windows Server 2012 R2?
Attaining 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 certification tracks. Now prospective candidates must complete a course of study that develops 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 Windows Server 2012 R2, 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 2012 R2 exams.

Tips for Taking the Windows Server 2012 R2 Exams
Here are some general tips for achieving success on your certification exam:
■ Arrive early at the exam center so that you can relax and review your study materials. During this final review, you can look over tables and lists of exam-related information.
■ Read the questions carefully. Do not be tempted to jump to an early conclusion. Make sure that you know exactly what the question is asking.
■ Answer all questions. If you are unsure about a question, mark it for review and come back to it at a later time.
■ On simulations, do not change settings that are not directly related to the question. Also, assume the default settings if the question does not specify or imply which settings are used.
■ For questions about which you’re unsure, use a process of elimination to get rid of the obviously incorrect answers first. This improves your odds of selecting the correct answer when you need to make an educated guess.
Exam Registration
At the time this book was released, Microsoft exams are given using Prometric testing centers (800-755-EXAM [800-755-3926]). As of December 31, 2014, Microsoft will be ending its relationship with Prometric and all exams will be delivered through the more than 1,000 Authorized VUE Testing Centers around the world. For the location of a testing center near you, go to VUE’s website at www.vue.com. If you are outside of the United States and Canada, contact your local VUE registration center.
Find out the number of the exam that you want to take and then register with the Prometric registration center nearest to you. At this point, you will be asked for advance payment for the exam. The exams are $125 each, and you must take them within one year of payment. You can schedule exams up to six weeks in advance, or as late as one working day prior to the date of the exam. You can cancel or reschedule your exam if you contact the center at least two working days prior to the exam. Same-day registration is available in some locations, subject to space availability. Where same-day registration is available, you must register a minimum of two hours before test time.
When you schedule the exam, you will be provided with instructions regarding appointment and cancellation procedures, ID requirements, and information about the testing center location. In addition, you will receive a registration and payment confirmation letter from Prometric.

What’s Included with the Book
This book includes many helpful items intended to prepare you for the MCSA: Windows Server 2012 R2 certification. These items include:
Assessment Test There is an Assessment Test at the conclusion of the introduction that can be used to evaluate quickly where you are with Windows Server 2012 R2. This test should be taken prior to beginning your work in this book, and it should help you identify areas in which you are either strong or weak. Note that these questions are purposely simpler than the types of questions you may see on the exams.
Objective Map and Opening List of Objectives Later in this introduction, you will find a detailed exam objective map showing you where each of the exam objectives is covered. Each chapter also includes a list of the exam objectives covered.
Helpful Exercises Throughout the book are step-by-step exercises of some of the more important tasks that you should be able to perform. Some of these exercises have corresponding videos that can be downloaded from the book’s website. Also, the following section has a recommended home lab setup that will be helpful in completing these tasks.
Exam Essentials The end of each chapter also includes a listing of exam essentials. These are essentially repeats of the objectives, but remember that any objective on the exam blueprint could show up on the exam.
Chapter Review Questions Each chapter includes review questions. These are used to assess your understanding of the chapter and are taken directly from the chapter. These questions are based on the exam objectives, and they are similar in difficulty to items you might actually receive on the MCSA: Windows Server 2012 R2 exams.
You can obtain the Interactive Online Learning Environment, flashcards, videos, and glossary at www.sybex.com/go/mcsawin2012r2.
Interactive Online Learning Environment You can access the Interactive Online Learning Environment, which includes the assessment test and chapter review questions. In addition, there are a total of three practice exams included with the Interactive Online Learning Environment: one each for exams 70-410, 70-411, and 70-412.
Flashcards Flashcards are included for quick reference. They are a great tool for learning important facts quickly. You may even consider these as additional simple practice questions, which is essentially what they are.
Videos Some of the exercises include corresponding videos. These videos show you how we do the exercises. There is also a video that shows you how to set up virtualization so that you can complete the exercises within a virtualized environment. This same video also shows you how to install Windows Server 2012 Datacenter on that virtualized machine.
PDF of Glossary of Terms There is a glossary included that covers the key terms used in this book.
Recommended Home Lab Setup
To get the most out of this book, you will want to make sure you complete the exercises throughout the chapters. To complete the exercises, you will need one of two setups. First, you can set up a machine with Windows Server 2012 R2 and complete the labs using a regular Windows Server 2012 R2 machine.
The second way to set up Windows Server 2012 R2 (the way we set up Server 2012 R2) is by using virtualization. We set up Windows Server 2012 R2 as a virtual hard disk (VHD), and we did all the labs this way. The advantages of using virtualization are that you can always just wipe out the system and start over without losing a real server. Plus, you can set up multiple virtual servers and create a full lab environment on one machine.
We created a video for this book showing you how to set up a virtual machine and how to install Windows Server 2012 R2 onto that virtual machine.
