IIS  (which stands for  Internet Information Services or Internet Information Server)  also known as Windows web server is available on most versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems and takes second place in overall usage behind Apache HTTP Server on the internet. It will host websites, web applications and services needed by users or developers. Many versions have shipped as far back as IIS 1 on Windows 3 and with nearly every new Windows OS a new IIS version follows. Versions and History Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or IIS 6 is the oldest version you would want to run for anything outside of a hobby or testing, which does supports IPV6 as well as modern security measures. However in a professional environment IIS 8.5 or 10 (Still in Beta) will receive official software updates for years to come and support more modern applications and needs. IIS 6 or Windows Server 2003 is no longer receiving any updates from Microsoft but supports IPV6 and most security measures need

How DHCP Works Let's talk a minute about the basic workings of how DHCP works. The DHCP server sits and waits for a client computer to turn on and need an IP. It does this through a very basic 4 step process which I will explain below. 1. Discovery  -- When a computer is setup to use DHCP and is attached to the network it sends out a broadcast called DHCPDISCOVER looking for a DHCP server. Alternatively, it will request the last IP used by its DHCP client. 2. Offer  -- The DHCP server will respond with a lease offer that is called DHCPOFFER and includes the lease duration, IP address, subnet mask, clients MAC address, and IP address of the DHCP server. 3. Request  -- Once the client computer receives the offer and accepts it, it then sends out a broadcast called DHCPRequest that contains the IP address of the DHCP server that issued the accepted client IP. This tells other DHCP servers that their offer if any was refused, and keeps the IPs free for others. 4. Acknowl

The following are the estimated minimum disk space requirements for the system partition. Minimum: 32 GB Network adapter requirements Minimum: •   An Ethernet adapter capable of a

Active Directory is Microsoft's trademarked directory service, an integral part of the Windows 2000 architecture. Like other directory services, such as Novell Directory Services (NDS), Active Directory is a centralized and standardized system that automates network management of user data, security, and distributed resources, and enables interoperation with other directories. Active Directory is designed especially for distributed networking environments. Active Directory features include: Support for the X.500 standard for global directories The capability for secure extension of network operations to the Web A hierarchical organization that provides a single point of access for system administration (management of user accounts, clients, servers, and applications, for example) to reduce redundancy and errors An object-oriented storage organization, which allows easier access to information Support for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to enable inter-

Microsoft Hyper-V, codenamed Viridian and formerly known as Windows Server Virtualization, is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems running Windows.[2] Starting with Windows 8, Hyper-V superseded Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Architecture Hyper-V architecture Hyper-V implements isolation of virtual machines in terms of a partition. A partition is a logical unit of isolation, supported by the hypervisor, in which each guest operating system executes. A hypervisor instance has to have at least one parent partition, running a supported version of Windows Server (2008 and later). The virtualization stack runs in the parent partition and has direct access to the hardware devices. The parent partition then creates the child partitions which host the guest OSs. A parent
