Server Type
Installation procedures
in this Guide are for
member server (standalone
server) installation
only. If sites choose a
different server type,
they must provide the
additional information
required during
installation, which is not
documented here.
Installation Checklists and Tips
Determine the name the site wants identified with the Windows 2000 or
Windows NT node (for example, the administrator’s name or the Windows
owner name).
Organization _____________________________
Determine the organization name the site wants identified with the Windows
2000 or Windows NT node.
Have the client determine the Windows server type:
− Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
Directly maintains security and user account information in the master
copy of the domain’s directory database.
− Backup Domain Controller (BDC)
If BDC is selected, the PDC must be accessible on the LAN during
setup of the BDC. The BDC maintains a replicated copy of the
directory database maintained by the PDC. Can be promoted to serve
as a PDC.
− Stand-alone Server (default recommendation)
Stand-alone server is recommended in the following circumstances:
If the server is to perform time critical tasks and the site does not
want it spending time authorizing domain logon attempts or receiving
synchronized copies of the domain’s directory database.
If the site wants this server to have a different administrator or
different user accounts from the rest of the servers in the domain.
A member server can participate in a domain, although that is not
required.
