Active Directory Domain Service

We tried out what Mr Wagio asked us to do today.

First thing we did was to set up active directory domain service on the windows server 2008 and run the domain service installation wizard to set up a new domain. Had to make sure static ip was set as the machine was meant for server use, as well as the administrator account had to have a strong password before the installation wizard was run.

IP settings used
IPv4: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

While doing installation of active directory. ran into a bit of a problem regarding some warning regarding ip address not set to static (Windows Server 2008 has both IPv4 and IPv6) We had only set the static ip address for IPv4. Fixed the warning by disabling IPv6.

After successfully managing to install active directory, the next thing to do was to join the work station to the domain created. Had to set the vista business to have static ip and to change the computer domain to testing.fyp.com.

IP settings used
IPv4: 192.168.1.105
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DNS server: 192.168.1.100
