1. Open the Server Manager and klick on "Add
roles and features"
2. The default page will open, click Next.
3. select "Role-based or feature-based
installation" and click "Next".
4. Select "Select a server from the server pool"
and than select you local system.
5. Now you can select the roles to install. Before
you go on with selecting roles please check if: - you configured a static IP,
Default Gateway, Subnet and DNS on the Network Interface to you client LAN - Networkable
is connected to your switch - you have no other Domain controller, DHCP- or DNS
Server in your network
6. Please select for the first DC - Active
Directory Domain Services - DNS Server For every option Windows will ask you to
install the "Remote Server Administration Tools"
(RSAT). DO THIS otherwise it will be harder to finish the configuration.
7. Now the menu should look nearly like this. If
this is the fact, you can click "Next".
8. Now you have the "Feature
selection". You don't need to install more features at the
moment. Click "Next"
9. Now the Wizard to configure ADDS starts.
10. Now you can select which operation the DC will
perform. We plan to create a new forest, so please click on "Add
a new forest".
11. Than type in the name of your Root domain that
you have planed e.g. local.company.com. After this click "Next".
12. In the next Step you have to select Forest
function and domain level.
13. Normally you could select in this Wizard a DNS
delegation but currently we have no DNS Server in this domain, so we have no
option to delegate.
15. After this you can set the Database folder, Log
files path and SYSVOLL folder for ADDS Service. You can change the default path
but I wouldn't do this, you only force problems with this.
16. At next you get a install summary and you are
able to view the PowerShell Script the will be executed
17. After this the Wizard runs a validation check
and when all is ok you can install ADDS.
18. Service installs.
19. After installation is finished you should see
ADDS and DNS in your Server Manager
20. Please also look if the DNS Forward lookup Zone
for your domain was created. For this click on "Tools"
in the the upper right Corner and select "DNS".
21. Under Forward Lookup Zones you should the your
Domain and there should be a NS, SOA and two A records for your DC.
22. Go back to Server Manager and select "Active
Directory Use
user and Computers" under "Tools" There your Domain should be listed and in "Domain Controllers" should be the "Computer Account" for your DC
