Chapter 3: Networking

A server is not particularly useful unless it's connected to a network. Modern networks range from a simple single connection to having multiple connections with different subnets. Every network is different in its own way, so we need to understand how to make Windows Server work effectively on each different network. Many network administrators will require certain rules to be enforced on your firewalls.

We're going to look at some of the common networking tasks that will help you out in your day-to-day work. With these recipes, you will start to dig deeper into some of the features that Windows Server 2019 offers, and hopefully, it will have you thinking deeper about the different ways that Windows Server 2019 can be used and deployed.

In this chapter, we'll cover the following recipes:

• Using Windows Firewall with Advanced Security to block unnecessary traffic
• Multi-homing Windows Server 2019
• Adding a static route to the Windows routing table
• Using dynamic BGP routing in your Windows routing table
• Using telnet and Test-NetConnection to test a connection and network flow
• Using the pathping command to trace network traffic
• Setting up NIC Teaming
• Renaming and domain joining via PowerShell
