Lesson 9

Objective

Installing with the Windows 2000 Setup Wizard, part 1
Use setup GUI to select regional settings, licensing, and domain

Use the setup GUI to select regional settings, licensing, and domain information for Windows 2000.
After the text mode of Setup completes, you move into the GUI phase of Setup. Here you will make decisions about which network components to install, the name of the computer, and whether the computer will participate in a workgroup or domain.
After the basic file copy process takes place during the text-based phase, the computer restarts and the GUI mode phase of the installation process begins.

Regional settings

Regional settings allow you to specify how Windows 2000 will display dates, times, currency, and numbers, and whether to use U.S. or metric measurements.
You can set the System Locale and Keyboard Layout, which are explained in the following table.
