Summary
In this chapter, you learned the basic concepts of computer networks and had a chance to get to know Windows Server. Specifically, you learned a computer network and were introduced to different computer networks, components, network architectures, IP addressing, and subnetting. Furthermore, you learned about server hardware and software, server sizes, form factors, shapes, and NOSs. Finally, you had a chance to view the Windows Server timeline.
The chapter included a chapter exercise that provided instructions on downloading Windows Server 2022 from the Technet Evaluation Center portal to make things more lab-oriented. With the things you have learned in this chapter, you will now understand what a computer network is and be able to identify network architectures, IP addressing, and subnetting. You’ll also be able to identify key hardware components and understand a NOS, including the Windows Server timeline.
In the following chapter, we will learn about Windows Server 2022 specifically.
