Set Up a SharePoint 2013 - Part 2: Installation and Configuration of Active Directory

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.
