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 name of your server "cpte265" (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 "Win8" -DomainMode "Win8" -DomainName "scot.internal" -DomainNetBIOSName "scot" -InstallDNS:$true -CreateDNSDelegation:$false

  3. Some Clean up...
    1. Make sure you are in the Eastern Time Zone
    2. 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 ...)
  4. Make an administrative user for grading purposes.
    1. Create a new user with username "dra"
    2. Give the user a password.
    3. Add the user to the "Domain Admins" and "Enterprise Admins" groups.
