I. OBJECTIVES:

At the end of this exercise, students must be able to:


a) Understand how to set-up domain controller using dcpromo command or Server
Manager;
b) Perform adding server role as Domain Controller;
c) Set-up Domain Controller as DNS Server;
d) Determine how the database, log files and SYSVOL are created.

II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Managing users, computers, applications, and network devices can seem like a never-
ending process. As a result, you need to be organized, especially when it comes to some
of the most fundamental yet tedious task you perform every day. That is where the
concept of directory services comes in.
Microsoft’s Active Directory is designed to store information about all of the objects
within your network environment, including hardware, software, network devices, and
users. Furthermore, its is designed to increase capabilities while it decreases
administration through the use of a hierarchical structure that mirrors a business’ logical
organization.
Prior to installation of Active Directory, a great deal of planning and training is required
to properly implement its many features. The problem is that it doesn’t make much
sense to begin implementing Active Directory until you understand the terms, concepts
and goals behind it. Once you have determined exactly what you Active Directory design
should look like, it’s time to implement it.
In this lab activity, you will add the Active Directory Domain Services role using the
Server Manager as you take the first step in managing your network. You will also setup
the Domain controller as the DNS Server. Finally, you will verify the six new
Administrative Roles after the installation process.
