It??™s normally easier and less error prone to activate your copy of Windows using

Managing Windows in a New Way
This chapter has gotten you started performing essential maintenance tasks. The tasks actually fall
into three categories: application installation, security, and system maintenance. The material in
this chapter is purposely simple??”it helps you get started with the essentials and doesn??™t bog you
down in complexities that you need to know later. The focus of this chapter is to help you get
started with the tasks you??™ll perform daily. This chapter helps you build these skills:
? Install applications
? Perform maintenance
? Update the server
? Create LNK files
? Set security
? Use the WMIC command to configure the server
? Use maintenance commands and utilities
? Activate your copy of Windows
Now that you have some idea of what tasks you??™ll need to perform, it??™s time to continue configuring
your server. Of course, you??™ll start by adding the users who will use the server and adding
them to groups as you did for your own account in the ???Configuring the Server for Initial Use??? section
of Chapter 1.
