Windows 2008 - Setup your first Domain Controller


Same in Windows 2000 and 2003, Active Directory is also be able to setup in Windows Server 2008.

In Windows Server 2008, there are more features in AD, eg: RODC +++ which we will covers more in this blog.

In this session, we would like to share on setting up your first Active Directory for Windows Server 2008.

Before setting up AD, please ensure:

1) You already configured a static IP for your NIC
2) Given a meaningful name to the computer, knowing your domain name to assign
3) An available DNS server (Can be the same server as the AD)
4) ADDS role installed in that particular server to shorten the time for the installation.

Once those mentioned things done, what you need to do is just click Start-> Run -> DCPROMO

Video looks helpful but the resolution is too small to be useful. And there is no “full screen” mode.
