Module 3 - Lecture 3 - Installing Domain Controllers

This document provides instructions for installing a domain controller in Windows Server 2003. It explains that a domain controller centrally stores user names and passwords and allows for features like file sharing across a network. The steps covered include promoting an existing server to be the first domain controller, which also requires installing DNS services. The instructions then outline configuring the domain name and settings, installing DNS, and completing the domain controller setup process.

Installing Domain
Controller

DOMAIN CONTROLLER
(DC).
One of the greatest features of Windows Server 2003 is its ability
to be a Domain Controller (DC).
The full features of a domain are beyond the scope of this
workshop, but some of its most well known features are its ability
to store user names and passwords on a central computer (the
Domain Controller) or computers (several Domain Controllers).
In this tutorial we will cover the "promoting" (or creating) of the
first DC in a domain. This will include DNS installation, because
without DNS the client computers wouldn't know who the DC is.
You can host DNS on a different server, but we'll only deal with
the basics.

WHAT IS A DIRECTORY
SERVICE?
A service that helps track and locate objects

Users

The core function of any directory service is that it lets you find
information on a network and make your own data networkaccessible.

Domains represent logical partitions within Active Directory for security

Microsoft.com is an example of a domain name.
There is a one-to-one correspondence between Active Directory domains

Global Catalog
OHIO.US.CONTOSO.COM
A tree is a grouping of domains that forms a contiguous namespace.
A contiguous namespace is a set of domain names in which each child
adds one or more identifiers to the beginning of the parent DNS name.
For example, if the parent domain was iium.edu.my and the child domain
6
was cita.iium.edu.my, these two would form a contiguous namespace.

STARTING THE SERVICES


Type dcpromo and click OK.

You will see the first window of the wizard. As it


suggests, I suggest reading the help associated with
Active Directory. After this, click "Next"

Click "Next" on the compatibility window, and in the next


window keep the default option of "Domain Controller for a
new domain" selected, and click "Next"

DOMAIN
CONTROLLER
Now we will install the Domain
Controller, select this service
from the Manage Server.
We want to create a new domain.

10

DOMAIN FOREST
In Windows Server, you can connect your domain to an
existing domain structure, or you can start from scratch.
We will create a new forest for our domain.

11

DNS
DNS is integrated with the Domain Controller.
Select the second option Have the computer install DNS for
you.

12

DOMAIN NAME
Now you need to select a domain name. It should be the
same name you used in the DHCP (i.e. TIHE.ORG)

13

NETBIOS DOMAIN NAME


The computer will choose a netbios name for your domain.
Click next.

Database and Log Folders

The computer will select a path for this entry. Click next.

14

Shared System Volume

The SYSVOL folder is a public share, where things like .MSI


software packages can be kept when you will distribute
packages
The computer will select a DEFAULT path for this entry. Click
next.

15

DNS REGISTRATION
Now we will get a message that basically says that you will need a
DNS server in order for everything to work the way we want it .
As mentioned earlier, we will install the DNS server on this same
machine , but it can be installed elsewhere. So keep the default
selection of "Install and configure second option, and click Next.

16

PERMISSIONS
we keep the default of "Permissions compatible only with Windows
2000 or Windows Server 2003 operating systems" and click "Next"

17

Restore Mode Password

The restore mode password is the single password that all


administrators hope to never use, however they should also
never forget it because this is the single password that
might save a failed server.
Make sure it's easy to remember but difficult to guess

18

SUMMARY
Now we will see a summary of what will happen. Make sure
it's all correct because changing it afterwards can prove to be
difficult.

19

After the previous next was clicked, the actual process


occurs. This can take several minutes. It's likely that
you will be prompted for your Windows Server 2003 CD
(for DNS) so have it handy

20

GIVE STATIC IP
If your computer has a dynamically assigned address (from
DHCP) you will be prompted to give it a static IP address.
Click ok, and then in the Local Area Connection properties,
click "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and then "Properties"

21

In the next window select "Use the following IP address" and select
the information that you will use for your domain (and 127.0.0.1 for
the primary DNS, because your computer will host DNS. I still
suggest setting up an alternate as well.) Click "OK" and then "Close"
on the next window

22

And after a while you will see And we're finished.
