Server Core, Second AD, and RSAT Lab - Zacham17/my-tech-journal GitHub Wiki

Brief Summary

• In this lab, I configured a second domain controller(ad02), on my LAN in VCenter and set up a remote server manager to manage the domain controllers remotely.

Notes

• In this lab, I configured the ad02 domain controller to be used on my LAN
• I installed ADDS services on ad02
• I used sconfig to configure the hostname and network interface of ad02.
• Then, I joined wks02 to the domain, and I installed Remote Server Administration Tools(RSAT) and added both domain controllers to it.
• I then used RSAT to add a user to the domain.

New Terms/Steps

• Something new to me in this lab was the use of Server Core instead of a GUI.
• sconfig was a new tool that I used to change the hostname and configure the network interface on the new domain controller with windows Server Core.
• Something else new to me was RSAT. I learned how to remotely manage my domain controllers using this tool, and I even added a user to the domain using it.
