Step By Step Guide for Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller and D... http://www.windowsreference.com/dns/step-by-step-guide-for-windows-...

1 of 29 3/20/2011 08:12

Now start DC and DNS Setup process

First you need to go to Start–>All Programs–>Administrative Tools–>Manage Your Server

Here you need to select Add or remove a role

Verify the following steps click on Next


2 of 29 3/20/2011 08:12

Select Server Role as Domain Controller option click on Next

Summary of Your Selections click on Next


3 of 29 3/20/2011 08:12

Active Directory Installation Wizard click on Next

Click “Next” on the compatibility window


4 of 29 3/20/2011 08:12

Next window select the default option of “Domain Controller for a new domain” and click “Next”

In this tutorial we will create a domain in a new forest, because it is the first DC, so keep that option selected


5 of 29 3/20/2011 08:12

Now we have to think of a name for our domain. If you have a domain like windowsreference.com”, you can useit, but it isn’t suggested because computers nside of your domain may not be able to reach the company website.Active directory domains don’t need to be “real” domains like the one above – they can be anything you wish.So i will create “windowsreference.int”.

Now in order to keep things simple, we will use “windowsreferenc”, which is the default selection, as theNetBIOS name of the domain.


6 of 29 3/20/2011 08:12

The next dialog suggests storing the AD database and log on separate hard disks and you can just leave thedefault settings.

The SYSVOL folder is a public share, where things like .MSI software packages can be kept when you willdistribute packages and you can just leave the default settings or you can change the path.


7 of 29 3/20/2011 08:12

Next Screen basically says that you will need a DNS server in order for everything to work the way we want it(i.e., our “windowsreference.int” to be reachable).we will install the DNS server on this machine or if you wantyou can installed else where select “Install and Configure…” and click next.

Here you need to select the permissions for win 2000 or win 2003 server if you have any NT4 select first optionotherwise select second option and click next


8 of 29 3/20/2011 08:12

The restore mode password is the single password that all administrators hope to never use, however they shouldalso never forget it because this is the single password that might save a failed server.click next

Now we will see a summary of what will happen click next


9 of 29 3/20/2011 08:12

Active directory installation process started this can take several minutes. It’s likely that you will be promptedfor your Windows Server 2003 CD (for DNS) so have it handy.

Active directory Installation finish screen click Finish.


10 of 29 3/20/2011 08:12

Now you need to select “Restart Now” option to reboot your server.

After rebooting you can see new option for logon

After logging in you can see similar to the following screen saying your server is now domain controller.


11 of 29 3/20/2011 08:12

That’s it now your server is configured as domain controller and DNS server.

My company runs on Windows Server 2003 standard edition, about 20 PCs / laptops are used it as File serverand Application server. The PCs are configured with Static IP. What are the considerations if I were to promotethe server to a D.C? And what about the DHCP/DNS services? Will DHCP or DNS complicate with the existingADSL/Router?

Comment by Joseph Ting on June 26, 2008 @ 8:50 am

Promoting the server to DC and setting up the AD is the best way forward. Becomes more controlled organisedenvironment.

As for DNS and DHCP, I would suggest disable DHCP on your Router and set up DHCP on ur windows serverand then 20 PC can be manually set to get IPs or script it once AD is setup.

Remember, ur DC should be the DNS server for the domain clients and the gateway can be set to the ADSLrouter. The DNS on the router anyway would just forwarding only so shouldnt be a problem

Hello, i’m having problems. I set up the DC and DNS as you state above (which was perfectly outlined, thankyou) and ever since then, the computer hangs at “Applying computer settings”. I understand this is generally aDNS issue but I can’t seem to figure out where the issue is coming from. Please help?

Comment by TICH N on June 23, 2009 @ 1:02 pm

Hey Guys :

Here’s my scenario, on the server I have 2 network cards, 1 is directly connected to my client PC with IP :192.168.11.2, and the other is connected to a wireless switch/router with IP : 192.168.0.1.

I set up the domain controller using this guide. Now I dunno which IP the domain controller is going to use, andwhen I try to join the client pc to the domain I get this :

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used tolocate an Active Directory Domain Controller for domain thedarkside.com:

The error was: “DNS name does not exist.”(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.thedarkside.com

Common causes of this error include the following:

- The DNS SRV records required to locate a AD DC for the domain are not registered in DNS. These records areregistered with a DNS server automatically when a AD DC is added to a domain. They are updated by the ADDC at set intervals. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses:

192.168.0.1

- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:

thedarkside.comcom. (the root zone)

P.S : Client PC has Vista Ultimate x64bit SP2, whereas the SERVER is a 32bit Windows 2003 Enterprise Server

SP2 R2 !

What am I doing wrong ? Be gentle I am a n00b @ this !!!

Thanks a bunch

Comment by Steve on July 2, 2009 @ 4:09 pm

Followed this and the Self-Paced Training Kit (70-290) instructions and have installed server several times. Myquestion is why does the Self-Paced (70-290) picture show the (Assign DNS Forwarder: 10.0.0.253 but the staticip address for the NIC is 192.168.0.1? is this due to the book not letting you know they are using 2 NICs(network interface cards…? While my computer has the following out come:ip address: 192.168.0.1subnet mask: 255.255.255.0DNS Server: 127.0.0.1

where is the 10.0.0.253 coming from???question 2. if my router is using DHCP with the network being 10.20.30.XX how will this work in my network?and should i make the router use the 192.168.0.1 range?

and yes i am a newb and dont have the time or luxury of going to a server 2003 class or i would, thank youKenny.

Comment by Kenny on July 3, 2009 @ 11:24 pm

Don’t worry about the previous comment ill try using 2 NIC’s, if that doesnt work, ill try something……

I am currently studying for the MCDST and MCSE certs, and want to set up a domain at my house to practiceon, my current network setup is:

1 Cable modem wired to an apple N router, then i have an apple G router wired into the N router.

as far as computers/printers:

I have a G5 connecting to the N router through wireless, as well as a printer Wired to the N router, as well as anXP pro machine wired to the N router.

I then have a Windows 7 laptop connecting to the G router through wireless

The laptop and xp machine are currently networked using a workgroup


21 of 29 3/20/2011 08:12

I plan on picking up another machine to run server 2003 to use as a domain controller and dns server. What Ineed to know is where to hook the planned Domain Controller, and whether it will conflict with the existingnetwork, I still need to be able to share the printer to the G5 and all the other computers.

I also have another D-link router that I can hook up if I need to.

I want the XP machine and the 7 laptop to connect to the domain to help me practice for the tests. I hope that Ihave explained this well enough, and I might be over complicating it in my mind.

Here is a visual map of my current network:

The configuration of active directory is correct but on the DNS side it seems there’s a problem on it. you willencounter error on your domain controller once you join a computer in to your domain. please show also theconfiguration of DNS. DNS and domain controller should communicate each other.
