Lab 2

We are going to install AD in a single Domain for right now. You will notice that there doesn't seem to be install directions for AD DS in the book. A cryptic note at the end of Chapter 3 (Referenced in the previous assignment) gives some very high level advice on how to accomplish this. For this lab we will perform the following:

  1. Change the hostname of your server to match the naming convention. Namely: "cpte230a" (do this first!!!)
  2. Install a new Forest with a single domain [your username].internal

    1. > Install-windowsfeature -name AD-Domain-Services -IncludeManagementTools

    2. > Install-ADDSForest -ForestMode Win2012R2 -DomainMode Win2012R2 -DomainName "dra.internal"

  3. Some Clean up...
    1. Make sure you are in the Eastern Time Zone
    2. Change your DNS from 216.249.119.10/11 to your IP address.
    3. Check to make sure your installation went as expected. Use some of the tools I've shown you in class (AD Users and Comps., ADSIEdit ...)

Documentation

Document the process that you used in installing your active directory in a new page "Domain". Make sure to include the commands you entered in PowerShell!

  1. Computer Name: [...]
  2. Domain Name: [...]
  3. Commands used in order from the Power Shell prompt.
  4. Any other changes you made at this point.

Create a video that talks through the documentation you created and shows the server has active directory installed and operational. The easiest way to do this is pull up the Active Directory Users and Computers tool and show the domain.
