Configuring Server 2008 for domain
This topic applies to Grass Valley servers with a base disk image created prior to mid-2011. Server disk images created after that time do not require this special configuration.
Systems with the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system require special configuration. A server must have its firewall disabled for proper K2 system operation. This includes the Windows firewall that has different profiles for workgroup, domain, etc. You must do the following steps to disable the firewall.
- Log in to the server with Windows administrator privileges.
-
From the Windows desktop click
Start and in the
Search programs and files box type the
following and then press
Enter.
wf.msc
The Windows Firewall with Advanced Security window opens.
-
At the bottom of the Overview section, click
Windows Firewall Properties.
The Properties dialog box opens.
- On the Domain Profile tab, set Firewall state to Off.
- On the Private Profile tab, set Firewall state to Off.
- On the Public Profile tab, set Firewall state to Off.
- Click OK to save settings and close.
