Install the Provisioning Web Server

In this section, you install Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Internet Information Services (IIS) on the provisioning Web server (PROV01), activate the ASP.NET extensions, and then move PROV01 into the Provisioning OU. You then install the MPS Web Services to PROV01 and deploy the MPS Sample Web Client. If you are building a fault-tolerant service provisioning system, you may choose to create a second provisioning Web server, PROV02.

The provisioning Web server (PROV01) requires Windows Server 2003 R2, IIS, and ASP.NET. It also must be a member of the Fabrikam domain.

Tasks

  1. Prepare the PROV01 Server
  2. Join PROV01 to the Fabrikam Domain
  3. Install IIS and ASP.NET, and then Enable Network DTC and Network COM+ Access
  4. Register ASP.NET 2.0 as Default on PROV01
  5. Ensure that Inbound and Outbound DTC Access are Enabled on PROV01
  6. Install the MPS Web Services on PROV01

Prepare the PROV01 Server

The provisioning Web server (PROV01) requires Windows Server 2003 R2 and must be a member of the Fabrikam domain.

Procedure DWSPV.40: To install Windows Server 2003 R2 on PROV01

  1. Perform a default installation of Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition (with Service Pack 1 integrated), by using the CD boot method. Install the Support Tools from the Windows Server 2003 CD. Use appropriate naming conventions for your environment.
  2. After Setup for Windows Server 2003 with SP1 is complete, log on to the computer as an administrator. Insert Disc 2 into your CD-ROM drive. Setup for Disc 2 should start automatically. If it does not start automatically, browse to Disk 2 (or the shared folder that contains the Setup files) and, in the \Cmpnents\R2 folder, click Setup2.exe. Follow the instructions on your screen to upgrade to R2.

Procedure DWSPV.41: To prepare PROV01

  1. Enable Remote Desktop. Click Start, point to Control Panel, click System, and then, on the Remote tab, select Enable Remote Desktop on this Computer.
  2. Install the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.
  3. Install Support Tools from the Support Tools directory on the Windows Server 2003 CD.
  4. Apply any released updates to Windows Server 2003 by using Microsoft Update.

Join PROV01 to the Fabrikam Domain

After you have finished building and preparing your provisioning Web server, add the server to the Fabrikam domain.

Procedure DWSPV.42: To add PROV01 to the Fabrikam domain and log on as the domain administrator

Note

Joining a new domain will require you to restart the server.

  1. Configure the local network interface to use the IP Addresses of AD01 and AD02 as Preferred and Alternative DNS server.
  2. Join the server to the fabrikam domain.
  3. Log on to the domain as Administrator@Fabrikam.com.

Install IIS and ASP.NET, and then Enable Network DTC and Network COM+ Access

In this procedure you will install IIS and ASP.NET, and then enable Network Distibuted Transaction Coordinator (DTC) and Network COM+ Access on PROV01. The following procedure is required in order to enable network access for the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) service on the provisioning server.

Procedure DWSPV.43: To install IIS and ASP.NET, and then enable Network DTC and Network COM+ access on PROV01

  1. In Add or Remove Programs, click Add/Remove Windows Components.
  2. On the Windows Components Wizard page, select the Application Server check box, and then click Details.
  3. Select ASP.NET.
  4. Select Enable Network DTC access.
  5. The following components should be selected:
    • Application Server Console
    • ASP.NET
    • Enable network COM+ access
    • Enable network DTC access
    • Internet Information Services(IIS)
  6. Click OK, and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the deployment of these components.

Register ASP.NET 2.0 as Default on PROV01

In this procedure you will enable the ASP.NET 2.0 Web Service Extension and register this extension as the default on all existing Web sites on your Web server using the aspnet-regiis.exe command-line tool.

Procedure DWSPV.44: To register ASP.NET 2.0 as default on PROV01

  1. Open a command prompt and change to the following directory: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

  2. At the command prompt, type aspnet_regiis.exe -r, and then press ENTER.

    Note

    This will change the script mapping for all sites on the server to use ASP.NET 2.0 as the default.

Procedure DWSPV.45: To verify that ASP.NET 2.0 has been enabled

  1. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, expand PROV01, and then click Web Service Extensions in the left pane.
  2. Verify that ASP.NET 2.0.50727 is listed as Allowed in the right pane.

Ensure that Inbound and Outbound DTC Access are Enabled on PROV01

In this section, you restrict network access to PROV01.

Procedure DWSPV.46: To ensure that inbound and outbound DTC access are enabled on PROV01

  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Component Services.
  2. Click and expand Component Services, and then expand Computers.
  3. Right-click My Computer, and then select Properties.
  4. Click the MSDTC tab.
  5. Click Security Configuration.

  7. Click OK to save the settings. Click Yes if you are prompted to restart the service.

Install the MPS Web Services on PROV01

In this procedure you use the MPS Deployment Tool to deploy the MPS Web services on PROV01.

Procedure DWSPV.47: To install the Web services on PROV01

  1. On MPS01, open the MPS Deployment Tool. In the Requirements Status pane, expand MPS Web Service Servers.

  2. Right-click Server, click Install on Server, select Add New Server, and then enter PROV01.

    Note

    You can add additional Web services servers at this time if you intend to provide load-balanced access to your Web services servers.
