In my last post we created a new Windows Server 2012 RC Image in a VM environment with the help of Virtual Box software. The next step is the installation and configuration of the Active Directory.
Start your VM. As a default you will get the Server Manager window.
Click on Local Server from the left hand side. You will find various properties for newly created server. You may notice that your computer named as WIN-M4AEH72CN9Q. Normally, whenever Windows Server is created, it gives a random name to the new server. The first thing is to give an appropriate name to the server. For this click on Computer Name as seen below in the Red Circle Box.
Click on Change and in the next screen give a name, in my case I've used SP13-SERVER01. Click OK. After that you will be asked to reboot your server, click OK.
Once the server is restarted, you will again see the server manager welcome screen. Click on “Add Roles and features"
The add Roles and Features wizard will start, click Next.
Continue with “Role Based or feature-based installation selected” as the default and click Next.
Select SP13-SERVER01 and click Next.
Select “Active Directory Domain Services” and click Next
You will be asked for features required for Active Directory services. Leave the defaults and click “Add Features”
Click Next.
Click Next.
Click Next.
Click Install.
Installation will start.
Installation is finished, click on close.
You will notice that a new option AD DS is added to the left hand side as well as a new section in Server Manager home. (see red line box in the picture below). Now click on “AD DS” in the left hand menu
You will notice that a yellow warning is displaying on the top and also note the yellow flag on the top bar. That means we have installed Active Directory Services Role on this server and now we need to configure.
Click the yellow flag on the top bar and start the configuration wizard for Active Directory. Click on “Promote this server to a domain controller” as seen below in the red circle box.
The Active Directory Services configuration wizard will start. Click Select.
Select “Add a new forest” if it is not selected then give “Root domain name” as “SP.LOCAL”. Press Next
Give some “Directory Services Restore Mode” password and click Next.
Click Next.
You will get the NetBIOS name as “SP”. Click Next.
Leave the directories path as it is. Click Next.
Click Next.
It shows your Prerequisites Check will start,
Click Install.
Installation will start.
Once the installation is finished you will be signed off for finalization.
You will notice that now your fully qualified user name is “SP\Administrator.
Now your server is configured as an Active Directory Server with installed DNS.
