Project 6: Windows Admin Center

  • We should have 3 new VMs called AD01, FS01, and WKS1 in our environment. Set up all of them on the LAN network before booting.
  • On both AD01 and FS01, open up a Powershell window after login and enter sconfig - set updates to Manual. Also set the timezone to EST and the hostname to AD01 and FS01 respectively. The addresses for the two are 10.0.5.5/24 and 10.0.5.7 respectively as well. (NOTE: Make new named admins on all new computers!) Gateway and DNS is 10.0.5.1.
  • On AD01, install ADDS with the domain miles.local. Also install DHCP server on our LAN. After this is done, create a new named domain admin and domain user.
  • Now instlal WAC on FS01 through the server manager prompt that comes up.
  • Add all of the servers via the Add -> Active Directory option. They should all allow you to connect using server admin credentials.

  • Now, head to Settings in the top right and scroll down to extensions. Click Active Directory and install, same with DNS. Should now be able to click on AD01 and see/manage both of these tools.

  • RDP should work as well - when you go into it, it will prompt you that you need to enable RDP on the endpoint. It's as easy as following what the instructions tell you to do, and then trying RDP again!
