 To assign a computer name, click Change Systems Properties.
 To assign a static/manual IP address and DNS, click View Network
Connections.
 To allow remote desktop connection for remote configuration, click
Configure a Remote Desktop.
The above initial configurations are necessary to prepare the server computer
for the installation of Active Directory Domain Service Role (AD DS) and
promotion to Domain Controller.
Add Active Directory Domain Service (ADDS) Role

1. Open Server Manager. Click Start > Administrative Tools > Server Manager.
2. In the left panel of Server Manager, click Roles.
3. Click Add Roles link found in the right panel of the Roles Summary section.
4. Click Next button in the Add Roles Wizard Window to begin the installation.
5. Select Active Domain Directory Domain Service and then click Next to
continue and when you reach the Confirm Install window, click Install button to
start the installation.
6. After the installation, promote the SERVER-PC to a Domain Controller by

clicking red underlined text or launching the AD DS Installation wizard thru
dcpromo.exe.
Page | 8
Promote Server to Domain Controller

1. To promote Server Computer to Domain Controller, launch the AD DS
Installation wizard. Click Start > Run > dcpromo.exe
2. When the AD DS Installation wizard appears, click Next to continue.
Page | 9
3. Since it is our first time to create a Domain Controller, select Create a new
domain in a new forest. Click Next to continue.
4. Type your network domain name e.g. crossroads.com, css.local, cti.com.
Click next to continue.
5. Select Windows Server 2008 R2 as the forest functional level.
Page | 10
6. Add DNS Server as additional option for this domain controller. It is

recommended to add the DNS Server on the first domain controller.
7. A warning appears because currently there is no running DNS server in your

network. Just click Yes to continue. Let our server computer (Domain Controller)
be the DNS server at the same time.
8. Leave everything as default location for Database and log files. Click Next to
continue
9. Enter your administrator account password. Click Next to continue.
Page | 11
10. Click Next to start the installation. Installation will take some time and a reboot
is required.
After the promotion of computer server to domain controller, the server’s primary or
preferred DNS address is automatically set to 127.0.0.1. Since our domain
controller is also a DNS server, we need to set our server’s DNS address same to its
IP address.
To do this:
1. Open Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
2. In the left panel of Network and Sharing Center, click Change Adapter Settings.
3. Right-click Local Area Connection > Properties.
Page | 12
4. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.

5. Change the value of Preferred DNS server from 127.0.0.1 to server’s IP address.
(Whatever the IP address of the server is, it should also be the value of your
preferred DNS server)
6. Click OK button to save settings.
Install and Configure DHCP Role
1. In the Server Manager, click Add Roles.

2. Select DHCP Server from the list of server roles.
Page | 13
3. Select the network connection(s) that will be used for serving clients. In this
demo, 192.168.0.2 has been selected by default.
4. Specify IPv4 server settings.

 For the Parent Domain, just leave current domain name as default.
 Set the value of Preferred DNS same as the server’s IP address. This is
important because all Windows clients need this information to join to
the domain network.
5. WINS is not required in this application so leave this setting as default.
Page | 14
6. Specify the range of your DHCP client’s base on the requirements of your
network. If you only have 10 computers in your network, you may set the scope
to cater only 10 or 15 IP addresses like 192.168.1.1 – 192.168.1.15. Scope
always depends on the requirements of the Network Administrator. To do this,
click on Add button and fill in the required field.
Note: Set the value of the Default Gateway same to Router’s IP address.
7. For DHCP Authorization, always use the Administrator account. Although

you can specify, any members of the Administrators group of users but to make
our life easier, let Administrator be the authorized user in terms of DHCP
settings management. In the next window after confirmation, click Install to
start the installation of the DHCP role.
Page | 15
Page | 16
To manage DHCP service, locate DHCP in the Administrative Tools. Go to Start

> Administrative Tools > DHCP.
To view connected clients, click Address Leases under Scope options.
To add IP exclusions (IP lease exemptions, IPs that should not be given to the
client computers), right click Address Pool under the Scope and Select New
Exclusion Range. Enter the IP you wanted to exclude.
Important: Exclude your Router (gateway) and your server’s IP address.
Page | 17
Configure your DHCP server options. Server options are values that were given
to connected clients during the lease of IP address such as Default Gateway
and DNS settings. For some reason, this should not be performed in actual
environment (security matters). During the assessment, to make your life easier
in joining windows client computer, this is a good option.
To configure Server Options, right click Server Options on the left panel and
select Configure Options. The following are the most important options to
configure:
 Router [003] = the network’s gateway or the router’s IP address.
 DNS Server [006] = the IP address of the DNS Server.
 DNS Domain Name [015] = string value of the current domain name e.g.
cti.local or crossroads.com
Page | 18
Sample Server Options Configurations.
Page | 19
Once the configuration is done, refresh your DHCP IPv4 settings so that all
clients will have these options on their adapter settings. In the client computer,
perform the ipconfig /renew and ipconfig /release to be able to receive a new
set of network settings.
To check if the server options were included during leasing of IP address, log on
to client computer. Go to Start > cmd , then type ipconfig /all.
Compare the highlighted items to your Server Options. If it’s exact same value,
therefore, your DHCP server is working pretty well.
