In Server manager click on the flag icon (there should be a yellow alert on it if not just wait for things to load) and you should get the option to Promote the server to a domain controller:
After that you'll want to make a new forest and give it a name. Mine is jaden.local
There will be some other steps but the wizard will walk you through them when you install everything the computer will reset.
With jaden.local made I did a test ping on AD01 to make sure it was live:
Created an administrative user:
Created a domain user:
Adding FS01 to the domain:
In order to add FS01 to the domain it is important to change the systems DNS to the IP address of AD01 which is 10.0.5.5:
Once this is done you can enter PowerShell and go into sconfig and select 1 to add FS01 to jaden.local after following the steps the computer will reset and you'll be in jaden.local:
Test ping to show connectivity:
Adding wks1 to the domain:
Guide used:
https://www.itechguides.com/join-windows-10-to-domain/
This is a little more complicated than FS01 since wks1 doesn't allow you to enter sconfig but to start off it is important to make the DNS on wks1 the IP address of ad01
From the desktop enter control pannel > Select "System and Security" > Select "System" > Select "Change Settings" > Select "Change"
Enter the following:
The computer will reset and you'll be part of the domain!

Deliverable 1 Installing Windows Admin Center on FS01:
Guide Used:
https://petri.com/how-to-install-and-use-windows-admin-center/
The first thing that FS01 will need is a browser to access Windows Admin Center. To Intall that I went into powershell and entered the following command:
$LocalTempDir = $env:TEMP; $ChromeInstaller = "ChromeInstaller.exe"; (new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://dl.google.com/chrome/install/375.126/chrome_installer.exe', "$LocalTempDir\$ChromeInstaller"); & "$LocalTempDir\$ChromeInstaller" /silent /install; $Process2Monitor = "ChromeInstaller"; Do { $ProcessesFound = Get-Process | ?{$Process2Monitor -contains $_.Name} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name; If ($ProcessesFound) { "Still running: $($ProcessesFound -join ', ')" | Write-Host; Start-Sleep -Seconds 2 } else { rm "$LocalTempDir\$ChromeInstaller" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Verbose } } Until (!$ProcessesFound)
Then go to microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-admin-center
And download Windows Admin Center and run the msi file.
When in the setup wizard it's okay to select the default options unless this is being used for something more specific but for the sake of simplicity I'll just be using the defaults. Once the wizard finishes install you should see this:
Opening that webpage will bring you to this page:
(NOTE: You will be prompted to log in for this just use the username and password for the admin account)
Deliverable:
Deliverable 2 Adding WAC Extensions:
Adding the extensions was simple after I added my Admin user to the Domain Admins group in AD;UC
Just select Settings > Extensions > Select desired extension > Install > Wait for them to install and refresh
Deliverable 2:
Deliverable 3 Remote Powershell access:
This part was really simple. Log into AD01 on WAC and Powershell is an option on the tool bar. log in and you're good:
