Automatic configuration
Some steps of the setup process are automatically configured, and these configuration screens do not
appear. For information about changing any preconfigured information, see the operating system online
help. Automatically configured parameters that might require later changes include:
• Licensing mode—By default the server licensing mode is set to per-device or per-user with a five device
or user count. For information about licensing, see the online help or the operating system
documentation.
• Administrator password—The administrator password is blank. Set the password when prompted to
change the password after the software installation is complete. For procedures to change the
administrator password after the installation is complete, see "Changing the administrator password for
Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation (on page 13)."
• Dynamic disk upgrade—The operating system is preinstalled on an approximately 20 GB partition. On
an array controller, the logical drive size is set to the maximum size of the drive. The logical drive of
array controllers contains 10 to 15 MB of available space to support a dynamic disk upgrade.
NOTE: The dynamic disk upgrade is optional. For information about dynamic disk upgrades,
refer to the operating system documentation. After upgrading to dynamic disk, the emergency
repair disk must be updated.
