I have successfully installed and configured both the Windows client machine and the Windows Server. Now, let's proceed with checking the IP addresses of the Windows Server.
The IP address assigned to the Windows Server 2022 machine is 192.168.204.143.
Now, let's configure the DNS server settings on the Windows Machine to point to the IP address of the Windows Server. This ensures that the workstation can resolve domain names (example.local
) and communicate properly with the domain controller.
We can add a secondary DNS server (a public DNS like 8.8.8.8
for backup).
Let's verify the DNS Configuration:
Now, let's return to our Windows Server. We need to ensure that Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is installed and properly configured.
Let's proceed with restarting the Windows server.
When we reopen Server Manager, a notification appears. Let's click on it to proceed.
Let's click on "Promote this server to a domain controller".
Next, let's create a new forest and name it "main.local
."
Next, let's create a password for our domain account.
Now, let's ping the domain from the Windows machine to verify connectivity and ensure everything is functioning correctly.
We now need to add the Windows machine to the domain as a workstation.
Now we need to restart the system to apply these changes.
Let's verify whether the Client01 Windows machine is joined to the domain.
Let's click on it.
Let's attempt to log in to the Client01 Windows machine using the Administrator account.
