SYS265 Lab 00 - Robertsegee/TechJournals GitHub Wiki

2/4/2021: Lab00 Routing and Windows. In this lab, we set up multiple server environments with network configuration. One part that I ran into trouble with was when creating a forest zone for ad01-robert. Seeing as I have not set up a forest zone without a gui, this experience was new to me. The part I ran into trouble with was when I restarted to reset the computer name. At this time I was on logonui.exe and all the screen said was "Applying Computer Settings". After multiple resets, nothing happened and inputting commands and keys also did nothing, eventually, I figured out that the CPU was being overloaded which is why it was frozen on that screen. After giving it more time it fixed itself. Another issue I ran into was trying to enumerate the PTR records. I kept getting errors when I was trying to enter different versions of the command. Eventually, I figured out that I needed to change the zone name to be where the PTR records were stored. The third problem I ran into was creating a domain admin from powershell. I had no idea how to do this at first but after researching it for a little bit I found out that you could use the net user command to create a domain user and then use the net group command to promote them to a domain admin.
