title
Adding Servers to a Windows Server 2012 Active Directory Network

description
Info Level: Intermediate Presenter: Eli the Computer Guy Date Created: April 30, 2013 Length of Class: 20:02 Research Assistance: Tracks Windows Server 2012 Prerequisites Install Windows Server 2012 Setup Active Directory and Required Services Be Able to Add Client Computers to an Active Directory Domain Purpose of Class This class teaches how to add Windows 2012 Servers to a Windows 2012 Active Directory Network. Class Notes "Best Practice" states that each specific Server Service should have it's own server. In the Real World a Single Server may be required to run 10 or more Services. To Add A Server to the Domain On Domain Controller Add New Computer in Active Directory Users and Computers On New Server go to System -- Change Settings -- Click Change Button Remember to Login as Domain Administrator Once the Server has been added to the Domain you add services and configure functionality Corrections Lab Setup Used in Demonstration The ETCG Host Computer Specs are: ASUS Model: CM6870US01 16 GB of RAM 1 TB 7200 RPM Hard Drive i7 3.4 GHz Intel Processor Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller Virtual Machine AD, DNS, and DHCP ETCG.com Domain Created Internal Network Connection in VirtualBox Windows Server 2012 Member Server Virtual Machine Internal Network Connection in VirtualBox Study Guide Resources
