iLAB 2B OVERVIEW
You will add a user, log on as the user, create groups, and manage
organizational units.
iLAB STEPS
TASK 1: Add User and Log On as User STEP 1: Add User

Back to Top
Action
Log on to the server with a user name of administrator and a password
of Password! (don't forget the exclamation point).
In Server Manager (the icon next to the Start button), expand Roles ->
Active Directory Domain Services -> Active Directory Users and
Computer -> experimental.lab. Click Users.
Right-click the Users folder, select New, and then User.
Use your own first name and last name. For the user log-on name, type
the first letter of your first name followed by your last name. Click Next.
For the password, type a password of your choice. To meet complexity
requirements, it must be at least seven characters long and have
characters in three out of the following four character sets: uppercase
letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters. Click Next. The
summary appears with your name in it. Remember how to add a user. In
future labs, you will have to know it.
Click Finish.
Minimize the server window.
STEP 2: Allow User to Log On; Then Log On as the User You
Created

Back to Top
Because ElementK is a remote environment, we first have to allow the
user to log on remotely. Before you go through the following, restart the
Windows 7 PC by clicking the Send Ctrl-Alt-Delete button, clicking the
red arrow in the lower right, and clicking Restart. Click OK at the error
message, then close the window. After a minute or so, click the PC icon
again.
Action
Log on to the PC (the icon on the right) as experimentaladministrator.
Naturally, because you are using the same user as when you logged on
to the server, the password is the same too. If the "Set Network
Location" window opens, click Work Network, then Close.
Click Start, right-click Computer, and click Properties. The System
window opens.
In the left panel, click Remote settings.
Under Remote Desktop, click the Select Users button.
In the Remote Desktop Users dialog box, click the Add button.
In the Select User or Groups dialog box, click the Advanced button.
Click the Find Now button.
Highlight your name and click the OK button.
You should see your name in the text box. Click the OK button.

In the remote Desktop Users dialog box, you should see your user name.
Click the OK button.
Log off, then click the Send Ctrl-Alt-Delete button.
Click Switch User, then Other User. For the user name, type
"experimental" followed by your user name. Fill in the password you
gave yourself.
Click the Start icon. You should see your name in the upper right of the
pop-up.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing your name (#7).
TASK 2: Create Groups STEP 1: Create a Domain Local Group
Back to Top
The typical process for creating security groups is to put users in global
groups and then put global groups in domain local groups. The domain
local groups are then associated with resources, and specific access
permissions are given at this level. This may seem like extra work, but
when you have hundreds or thousands of users and many dozens of
resources, this makes management much easier. Our objective is to
create a domain local group called DomainMgrs. We will create a global
group called GlobalMgrs. We will put the user based on your name in
GlobalMgrs and then GlobalMgrs into DomainMgrs. In a later lab, we
will associate permissions.

Action
Log on to the server as administrator, and open Server Manager.
Expand the left panel in Server Manager until you get to the users folder
and click Users.
One way to create a new object in the highlighted container is to do the
following: Click Action on the menu and then click New, and follow by
clicking Group.
For the Group Name, type DomainMgrs and select Domain local under
Group scope. Click OK.
STEP 2: Create the GlobalMgrs Group
Back to Top
Action
This time, right-click in a blank space in the middle panel, click New,
and then click Group.
For the Group name, type GlobalMgrs and leave the default of Global
for the group scope. Click OK.
Now we need to put the user based on your name into the GlobalMgrs
group. Double-click GlobalMgrs, click the Members tab and then click
Add.

Click the Advanced button, then Find Now button and then scroll until
you see your name. Click on the your name, then click OK.
You should see your name in the text box. Click OK.
Now you have the user as a member of GlobalMgrs.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing the username (#8).
Click OK. Remember how to create groups and add users! In future labs,
you will have to know it.
We want to make GlobalMgrs a member of DomainMgrs, so double-
click DomainMgrs, click the Members tab, and then click Add. Just type
"G" in the text box, and when you click Check Names, all the objects
beginning with "G" will display.
Select GlobalMgrs and click OK.
Click OK twice to get back to the screen that shows the contents of the
user container in the middle panel.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing both groups in the
middle panel (#9).
TASK 3: Manage Organizational Units STEP 1: Create an
Organizational Unit
Back to Top

Action
In Server Manager, expand Active Directory until you see the domain
name.
Right-click experimental.lab, select New, and click Organizational Unit.
For the name, type Sales. Notice that by default "Protect container from
accidental deletion" is checked. That is good. Click OK. The O is put in
the left pane.
STEP 2: Create an OU and Delete It
Back to Top
Action
Create an OU based on your last name. Then try to delete it by right-
clicking it and clicking Delete. Then, when it asks, "Are you sure," click
Yes. You will get a message stating that you have insufficient privileges.
Right-click on the OU based on your last name and click Properties. As
you can see, there isn't much.
On the menu, click View, then click Advanced Features.
Right-click the OU with your last name, click Properties, and then click
Object. Uncheck "Protect object from accidental deletion."

Click OK. Now delete the OU based on your last name.
STEP 3: Make User With Your Name the Manager of the Sales OU
Back to Top
Action
Open the Users container, and drag the user with your name to the Sales
OU. A dialog box opens. It is stating that OUs have different group
policies so the user may have different rights. Don't worry about it. We
will cover group policies later. Click Yes.
Now we want to delegate some administrative privileges to the user in
the container. Right-click on the Sales container, and click Delegate
Control... A wizard opens.
Click Next.
Click Add. In the text box, you can just type your first name and click
Check Names. Select your name and click OK.
Click Next. The Tasks to Delegate dialog box opens.
Check the first two items in the list to delegate, which are "Create, delete
and manage user accounts" and "Reset user passwords and force
password change at next logon." Click Next.
Scroll down to see all the information.

Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing your name and the
delegations (#11).
Click Finish.
Once delegated, you might wonder how a user can, for example, reset a
password for another user in the OU. You probably don't want to give
the user log-on privileges on the server. Another alternative is to have
the user download the "Remote Server Administration Tools Windows
7." (That is beyond the scope of this course.)

"Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent." If you

wanted to modify some of the inherited permissions, you would just
click Copy. We want all of them removed, so click the Remove button.
Click OK twice until you are back at the Utilities Properties window.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing the Properties window
(#2).
Click OK.
TASK 2: Share Files STEP 1: Prepare for Sharing Files
Back to Top
Action
Create a user based on your name. If you forget how, check out last
week's lab or the text.
There is already a student user with the user name of student and the
password of Password!.
Create two domain local groups, one called Networking and the other
called Accounting. Again, if you forget how, look to last week's lab or
the text for help.
Make yourself a member of Networking and a student a member of
Accounting.
Create a folder called Reports in C:.

STEP 2: Enable Sharing
Back to Top
Action
Click Start and then click Network. Along the top, click Networking and
Sharing Center.
Click the down arrow to the right of Network Discovery. Click the
Option button next to Turn on network discovery.
Click Apply.
Click the down arrow to the right of Public folder sharing. Click the
Option button next to Turn on sharing so anyone with network access
can open files.
Click Apply.
Make sure file sharing is turned on. If it isn't, turn it on.
Close the Network and Sharing and the Network windows.
STEP 3: Share a Folder Accessed From Windows 7
Back to Top
Action

When you click on the Reports folder, two buttons appear in the top
panel. Click the Share icon on the top bar. (You could also have right-
clicked the Reports folder and clicked Share.)
Using the down arrow next to the Add button, select Find. Find the
Accounting group and click OK.
Notice that the Accounting group just has the Reader permission. Click
the down arrow next to Reader and select Contributor. This will allow
changes.
Click the Share button.
A window appears showing it has been shared as SRV-1Reports. The
standard format is + the server name + the share name. (A bit of trivia:
This is exactly the same syntax as when Microsoft first started
networking in the mid-1980s.)
Click Done. Notice that the icon for the Reports folder has changed a bit.
If you look really close, you will see the group symbol of two heads.
Some people prefer the symbol in the previous versions, which was a
hand underneath the folder.
Double-click the Reports folder to open it. In the right pane, right-click
and select New then Text Document. Name the document November.

Now you are logged on with the user based on your name.
Action
Click the Start icon, then right-click Computer and click Map Network
Drive.
In the text box, type srv-1reports. Notice that the mapped drive will
appear as drive Z:. There is a dropbox that would allow you to change
the drive letter.
Click Finish.
Notice the error that you got. That is because the user based on your
name was put in the Networking group and doesn't have any share
permissions.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing the error (#3).

Log back on to the server and change the share permissions so the
Networking group has Reader permissions.
On the Windows 7 PC, log on as the user with your name, click the
Folder icon on the task bar, expand the Computer in the left pane, and
click drive Z:. The November text file that you created on the server is
displayed in the right panel.
Double-click on the November file. Type your name in the file. Now

Log on as the student user (experimentalstudent) with a password of
Password! that you put in the Accounting group.
Map the drive to the Reports folder as R:.
Open the November file and put your name in it. Save the file. The size
should be 1 KB.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing that the drive is R: and
the size is 1 KB (#5).
TASK 3: Use Distributed File System STEP 1: Add the Distributed
File System Role

Back to Top
There is a major problem with the standard way of sharing files. For
example, what if you need to move the share to another server? All the
mapped drives would have to be changed. With DFS, shares just refer to
the domain name. The administrator can put the folders anywhere in the
domain.
Action

iLAB STEPS
TASK 1: Create a DNS Zone and a Host STEP 1: Create a New Zone
Back to Top
When Active Directory was created, a DNS server was installed to keep
track of the computers that were added to the A domain. Now you are
going to create a new domain. In DNS terms, you are going to create a
new zone. The zone will be based your first and last name to show you
the flexibility in naming private zones.
Action
Log on to server with a user name of Administrator and a password of
Password!.
In Server Manager expand Roles -> DNS Server -> DNS -> SRV-1 and
highlight Forward Lookup, right-click it, and then click New Zone.
The New Zone Wizard opens. Click Next.

Leave the default of Primary Zone and click Next.
Leave the default of replicating to all DNS servers in the domain and
click Next.
For a zone, create one based on your first and last name, separated by a
dot (e.g., Mary.Noia). Click Next.
Select Do not allow dynamic updates, because we are going to create our
own entry. Click Next.
The summary is displayed. Click Finish.
Unfortunately, there can be problems refreshing the zone. The easiest
thing to do is click Forward Zone in the left panel and double-click the
zone based on your name. In the middle panel right-click and you should
see a list of items. (You may have to close and then open Server
Manager.) Click New Host (A or AAAA)...
For the Name, type "www" and use the IP address of the server, which
should be 192.168.1.14.Click Done.
Log on to Windows 7, open a command prompt, and type "ping www."
followed by the zone name based on your name, as in "ping
www.jane.doe." Press Enter.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing the ping (#1).
TASK 2: Create a Web Server STEP 1: Add a Web Server
Back to Top
Action
In Server Manager right-click Roles and click Add Roles. Click Next to
get past the introduction window.

Click Web Server (IIS) and click Next.
The overview screen opens that describes the web server. Click Add
Features and click Next. The introduction is displayed. Click Next.
The default settings are displayed. This is where we can customize the
settings based on the features we want. We will leave the defaults. Click
Next.
Click Install. The initializing portion of the install can take a few
minutes.
After a few minutes, you should see the Installation Result window.
Click Close.
Click on Web Server IIS in the left panel.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing the roles summary that
contains the web server (#2).
STEP 2: Create a Web Page and View It
Back to Top
Action
On the server, open Notepad. Click Start, and then click All Programs,
then Accessories to find Notepad.
Type some words that will become the contents of the home page of
your web server. There is no need to know any HTML. Just type the
text.
Save the text to C:inetpubwwwroot. The file name must be default.htm
and the Save as type must be All Files. If you don't change it to All files,
Notepad will add a .txt to the end and your page won't display.

Log on to Windows 7 and open the browser. For the URL, type "www."
followed by the zone name that you created based on your name, as in
www.jane.doe. You should see the text that you created in Notepad.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing the web page with the
URL based on your name (#3).
TASK 3: Set Up DHCP on a Network STEP 1: Set Up a DHCP Server
Back to Top
In most networks, IP addresses are leased to client devices by a DCHP
server. When a computer or other device connects to the network and is
set up to use DCHP, it broadcasts a packet to search for a DHCP server.
The server responds with the IP address and other configuration
information. In this lab, you will set up a DHCP server. In Windows 7,
you will change the configuration of the network adapter from a static IP
address to one using DHCP.
Action
In Server Manager right-click Roles, click Add Roles, and click Next to
get past the Before You Begin window.
Select DHCP Server. Notice that the left panel files with the steps you
have to go through to set up DHCP. Click Next.
You will see an overview. Click Next to display the Specify OPv4 DNS
Server Settings window.
It displays the IP address on the network that we want to use for DHCP.
Click Next.
It fills in the fact that it is associated with an Active Directory domain
and it has a DNS server at this address. Click Next.

WINS is a protocol from the 1990s, when some computer programs only
referenced computer names instead of IP addresses. We definitely don't
need it. Click Next.
Now you are at the Add or Edit DHCP Scopes window. Click Add and
fill in the boxes as follows.
Scope name: LAN
Starting IP address: 192.168.1.101
Ending IP address: 192.168.1.200
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: (leave blank)
Subnet type: Wired
Basically, it tells the server to assign addresses in the range of
192.168.1.101 to 192.168.1.200.(For this exercise you really don't need
10 addresses, but it is more realistic.)
The scope name could be anything.
Click OK, then Next.
We don't care about DCHPv6, so click Disable DHCPv6 stateless mode
for this server.
Click Next.
We need to authorize the DHCP server. Leave the defaults and click
Next.
Click Install, and after a while you will get the Installation Results
message. You will also probably get a warning that automatic updates
are not enabled. That is okay.

STEP 2: Configure DHCP on Windows 7
Back to Top
Action
Log on to Windows 7 as experimentaladministrator.
In the Control Panel, click the View network status and tasks link under
Network and Internet.
In the left panel click Change adapter settings.
Right-click Local Area Connection experimental.lab and click
Properties.
Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click the
Properties button.
Select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server
address automatically. Click OK and close the windows.
Click the Start icon, and in the text box type cmd and press Enter. At the
command prompt type "ipconfig /all," press Enter, and expand the
window to see all the information. You can see the IP address of the
DHCP server along with the lease information.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing the ipconfig
information, including the DHCP server (#4).

You will add a user, log on as the user, create groups, and manage
organizational units.
iLAB STEPS
TASK 1: Add User and Log On as User STEP 1: Add User
Back to Top
Action
Log on to the server with a user name of administrator and a password
of Password! (don't forget the exclamation point).
In Server Manager (the icon next to the Start button), expand Roles ->
Active Directory Domain Services -> Active Directory Users and

"experimental" followed by your user name. Fill in the password you
gave yourself.
Click the Start icon. You should see your name in the upper right of the
pop-up.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing your name (#7).
TASK 2: Create Groups STEP 1: Create a Domain Local Group
Back to Top

The typical process for creating security groups is to put users in global
groups and then put global groups in domain local groups. The domain
local groups are then associated with resources, and specific access
permissions are given at this level. This may seem like extra work, but
when you have hundreds or thousands of users and many dozens of
resources, this makes management much easier. Our objective is to
create a domain local group called DomainMgrs. We will create a global
group called GlobalMgrs. We will put the user based on your name in
GlobalMgrs and then GlobalMgrs into DomainMgrs. In a later lab, we
will associate permissions.
Action
Log on to the server as administrator, and open Server Manager.
Expand the left panel in Server Manager until you get to the users folder
and click Users.
One way to create a new object in the highlighted container is to do the
following: Click Action on the menu and then click New, and follow by
clicking Group.
For the Group Name, type DomainMgrs and select Domain local under
Group scope. Click OK.
STEP 2: Create the GlobalMgrs Group
Back to Top

Action
This time, right-click in a blank space in the middle panel, click New,
and then click Group.
For the Group name, type GlobalMgrs and leave the default of Global
for the group scope. Click OK.
Now we need to put the user based on your name into the GlobalMgrs
group. Double-click GlobalMgrs, click the Members tab and then click
Add.
Click the Advanced button, then Find Now button and then scroll until
you see your name. Click on the your name, then click OK.
Now you have the user as a member of GlobalMgrs.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing the username (#8).
Click OK. Remember how to create groups and add users! In future labs,
you will have to know it.
We want to make GlobalMgrs a member of DomainMgrs, so double-
click DomainMgrs, click the Members tab, and then click Add. Just type
"G" in the text box, and when you click Check Names, all the objects
beginning with "G" will display.
Select GlobalMgrs and click OK.

Click OK twice to get back to the screen that shows the contents of the
user container in the middle panel.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing both groups in the
middle panel (#9).
TASK 3: Manage Organizational Units STEP 1: Create an
Organizational Unit
Back to Top
Action
In Server Manager, expand Active Directory until you see the domain
name.
Right-click experimental.lab, select New, and click Organizational Unit.
For the name, type Sales. Notice that by default "Protect container from
accidental deletion" is checked. That is good. Click OK. The O is put in
the left pane.
STEP 2: Create an OU and Delete It
Back to Top
Action

Create an OU based on your last name. Then try to delete it by right-
clicking it and clicking Delete. Then, when it asks, "Are you sure," click
Yes. You will get a message stating that you have insufficient privileges.
Right-click on the OU based on your last name and click Properties. As
you can see, there isn't much.
On the menu, click View, then click Advanced Features.
Right-click the OU with your last name, click Properties, and then click
Object. Uncheck "Protect object from accidental deletion."
Click OK. Now delete the OU based on your last name.
STEP 3: Make User With Your Name the Manager of the Sales OU
Back to Top
Action
Open the Users container, and drag the user with your name to the Sales
OU. A dialog box opens. It is stating that OUs have different group
policies so the user may have different rights. Don't worry about it. We
will cover group policies later. Click Yes.

Now we want to delegate some administrative privileges to the user in
the container. Right-click on the Sales container, and click Delegate
Control... A wizard opens.
Click Next.
Click Add. In the text box, you can just type your first name and click
Check Names. Select your name and click OK.
Click Next. The Tasks to Delegate dialog box opens.
Check the first two items in the list to delegate, which are "Create, delete
and manage user accounts" and "Reset user passwords and force
password change at next logon." Click Next.
Scroll down to see all the information.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing your name and the
delegations (#11).
Click Finish.
Once delegated, you might wonder how a user can, for example, reset a
password for another user in the OU. You probably don't want to give
the user log-on privileges on the server. Another alternative is to have
the user download the "Remote Server Administration Tools Windows
7." (That is beyond the scope of this course.)

because they are inherited. Remember that Deny permissions override
Allow permissions.
Click the Add button and then the Advanced button. Click the Find Now
button and scroll down to Server Operators and highlight it. Click OK
twice to get back to the Properties window. Click the Allow box for
Modify.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing the permissions for
Server Operator (#1).
Click OK.
Now we want to get rid of the inherited permissions. From the Security
tab of the Properties window, click the Advanced button.
Click the Edit button, and then remove the check mark from the box for
"Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent." If you
wanted to modify some of the inherited permissions, you would just
click Copy. We want all of them removed, so click the Remove button.
Click OK twice until you are back at the Utilities Properties window.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing the Properties window
(#2).
Click OK.

TASK 2: Share Files STEP 1: Prepare for Sharing Files
Back to Top
Action
Create a user based on your name. If you forget how, check out last
week's lab or the text.
There is already a student user with the user name of student and the
password of Password!.
Create two domain local groups, one called Networking and the other
called Accounting. Again, if you forget how, look to last week's lab or
the text for help.
Make yourself a member of Networking and a student a member of
Accounting.
Create a folder called Reports in C:.
STEP 2: Enable Sharing
Back to Top
Action

Click Start and then click Network. Along the top, click Networking and
Sharing Center.
Click the down arrow to the right of Network Discovery. Click the
Option button next to Turn on network discovery.
Click Apply.
Click the down arrow to the right of Public folder sharing. Click the
Option button next to Turn on sharing so anyone with network access
can open files.
Click Apply.
Make sure file sharing is turned on. If it isn't, turn it on.
Close the Network and Sharing and the Network windows.
STEP 3: Share a Folder Accessed From Windows 7
Back to Top
Action
When you click on the Reports folder, two buttons appear in the top
panel. Click the Share icon on the top bar. (You could also have right-
clicked the Reports folder and clicked Share.)
Using the down arrow next to the Add button, select Find. Find the
Accounting group and click OK.

Notice that the Accounting group just has the Reader permission. Click
the down arrow next to Reader and select Contributor. This will allow
changes.
Click the Share button.
A window appears showing it has been shared as SRV-1Reports. The
standard format is + the server name + the share name. (A bit of trivia:
This is exactly the same syntax as when Microsoft first started
networking in the mid-1980s.)
Click Done. Notice that the icon for the Reports folder has changed a bit.
If you look really close, you will see the group symbol of two heads.
Some people prefer the symbol in the previous versions, which was a
hand underneath the folder.
Double-click the Reports folder to open it. In the right pane, right-click
and select New then Text Document. Name the document November.
STEP 4: Allow Users to Log On From Windows 7
Back to Top
Because ElementK is a remote enviornment, we first have to allow the
again.

Action
Log on to the PC as experimentaladministrator with the password of
Password! If you see the Set Network Location window, click Work
then Close.
window opens.
Highlight your name and click OK.
Click OK.
Log off.
Click Send Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Click Switch User then Other User. For the
user name, type "experimental" followed by your user name. Fill in the
password you gave yourself.
STEP 5: Accessing Shares From Windows 7

Back to Top
Now you are logged on with the user based on your name.
Action
Click the Start icon, then right-click Computer and click Map Network
Drive.
In the text box, type srv-1reports. Notice that the mapped drive will
appear as drive Z:. There is a dropbox that would allow you to change
the drive letter.
Click Finish.
Notice the error that you got. That is because the user based on your
name was put in the Networking group and doesn't have any share
permissions.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing the error (#3).
Log back on to the server and change the share permissions so the
Networking group has Reader permissions.
On the Windows 7 PC, log on as the user with your name, click the
Folder icon on the task bar, expand the Computer in the left pane, and
click drive Z:. The November text file that you created on the server is
displayed in the right panel.

Double-click on the November file. Type your name in the file. Now
save the file. Notice the error. You tried to change the contents of the
file but you only had Reader permissions.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing your name and the error
(#4).
Log off of the PC.
Log on as the student user (experimentalstudent) with a password of
Password! that you put in the Accounting group.
Map the drive to the Reports folder as R:.
Open the November file and put your name in it. Save the file. The size
should be 1 KB.
Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing that the drive is R: and
the size is 1 KB (#5).
TASK 3: Use Distributed File System STEP 1: Add the Distributed
File System Role
Back to Top
There is a major problem with the standard way of sharing files. For
example, what if you need to move the share to another server? All the
mapped drives would have to be changed. With DFS, shares just refer to

the domain name. The administrator can put the folders anywhere in the
domain.
Action
On the server, open Server Manager, expand Roles, and click File
Services. In the right panel, scroll down until you see Add Role
Services. Click it.
Select the check box next to Distributed File System. Notice that the
other two boxes are selected too. Click Next.
For a namespace, type Management. This represents a group of common
shares in the domain. Click Next.
We want the default domain-based namespace to give us the capability
of easy administration. Click Next.
Click the Add button, click the Browse button, click the Show Shared
Folders button, then click Reports. Click OK until you are back to the
Configure Namespace window.
Click Next.
Click Install and be patient.
Click Close when done.
Log on to Windows 7 using the student user called experimentalstudent.
Map a drive to experimental.labManagementReports.
Click Finish. Notice that the location is now based on the domain name.

Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing the November text file
with the letter Z in the text box at the top of the window (#6).

Although you saw Windows Server Backup above Disk Management in
server manager, it was just a placeholder. We have to install this feature.
Action
In Server Manager right-click Features and click Add Features.
Select Windows Server Backup Features. It will stay grayed out,
because by default it does not install the command-line tools, which is
okay.
Click Next. Click Install. Click Close.

In the right panel double-click Add Printer.
Click Add a local printer.
Click the option for Create a new port, and select Standard TCP/IP Port
and click Next.
Change the Device type to TCP/IP Device. Obviously, we have no
physical print device, so the IP address isn't important. For the IP
address, type "192.168.1.30." Important: Uncheck Query the printer and
automatically select the driver to install. If you don't do this, you will be
waiting a long time. In the real world, you wouldn't uncheck it if you
knew the drivers existed in the server.
Click Next and wait until it errors out because it can't find the printer.
Because it can't find the printer, it comes to a dialog box asking for the
device type. Click Next.
Select an HP Laserjet 8150 PS printer and click Next.
