Exercise 13.3
Lab Challenge
	Installing Active Directory Domain Services Role
Creating a New Forest
Creating a Child Domain
Installing AD DS on Server Core



Exercise 13.1	Installing the Active Directory Domain Services Role
Overview
	In this exercise, you use the Add Roles and Features Wizard to install the Active Directory Domain Services role on a newly installed server running Windows Server 2012.
Mindset	What are the minimum requirements for a domain controller server? Does this server fulfill them?
Completion time	10 minutes




Question 1	Why can’t you open the Active Directory Users and Computers console properly at this time?
AD DS is not yet configured. Some additional steps are required to make this machine a domain controller. We need to promote the server to a domain controller.

Exercise 13.2	Creating a New Forest
Overview
	Once you have installed the Active Directory Domain Services role, you must promote the server to a domain controller. In this exercise, you create a new domain in a new forest and configure the server to function as the domain controller for that domain.
Mindset	What are the functions performed by the first domain controller in an AD DS forest?
Completion time	15 minutes

10.	Take a screen shot of the Notepad window, showing the Windows PowerShell script the wizard created, by pressing Alt+Prt Scr, and then paste the resulting image into the Lab 13 worksheet file in the page provided by pressing Ctrl+V.

 

Exercise 13.3	Creating a Child Domain
Overview
	In this exercise, you create a subdomain beneath the adatum.com domain you created previously.
Mindset	How does the process of creating a subdomain differ from that of creating a forest root domain?
Completion time	15 minutes


Question 2	What would the difference in results be if you were to choose the Tree Domain option rather than the Child Domain option?
Tree Domain is not subordinate to an existing domain in the Forest. With Tree Domain selected, you’d have to select the Forest name. However, with Child Domain selected, you’d need to select the Parent domain name.

Question 3	By default, the wizard configures this domain controller to function as a DNS server. Under what circumstances would it be practical not to configure this domain controller to be a DNS server?
If Installing DSN server on another domain controller

Question 4	Why does the Domain Controller Options page have a Domain functional level drop-down menu, but not a Forest functional level drop-down menu?
We are adding a child domain beneath an existing domain or as we are adding domain controller to this domain, we will need to choose the site where the domain controller will be located, so we need the Domain functional level drop-down menu to select the site.




12.	Take a screen shot of the Review Options page by pressing Alt+Prt Scr, and then paste the resulting image into the Lab 13 worksheet file in the page provided by pressing Ctrl+V.

 

Lab Challenge	Installing AD DS on Server Core
Overview
	In this exercise, you configure a server to function as a domain controller using the Server Core interface.
Completion time	20 minutes

1.	On SVR-DC-C, Windows Server 2012 has been installed using the Server Core option. 
2.	To complete this challenge, you must configure the server to function as a replica domain controller for the adatum.com domain using only Windows PowerShell  commands. After the new Domain Controller reboots, click the Ctrl+Alt+Delete button. 
	Write out the necessary commands, using all the required parameters and the correct syntax. Then, take a screen shot of the Login Prompt page, showing that the server is now a domain controller, by pressing Alt+Prt Scr, and then pasting the resulting image into the Lab 13 worksheet file in the page provided by pressing Ctrl+V.
	At the Command Prompt, type powershell to execute Windows PowerShell, as you’ll be using Windows PowerShell commands.
