Step by Step guide to setup Active Directory on Windows Server 2008
This tutorial will explain how to install AD on server 2008. This willvalid for windows 2008 R2 as well.
Requirement:
/*Minimum: Single processor with 1.4 GHz (x64 processor) or 1.3GHz (DualCore)*/
/*Minimum: 512 MB RAM*/
/*Minimum: 32 GB or greater*/
* The first step is to assign a ip to the server that you going to deploy the AD. Its nessary to install it as DNS server too. So its better to have fixed ip it doesn't mean you cannot install AD without fixed ip address but it will solve lot of issues if you used fixed ip.
In here the server ip is 10.0.0.14. Since we going to make it as DNSserver too you should use the same ip as the preferred DNS server.
* Next step is to install the Active directory roles. Unlikely the older version of windows servers Microsoft highly recommend to use
server manager option to install roles before you run dcpromo.
* Click on start menu and select the Server Manager
* Select the roles from the right hand panel and click on add roles option.
* From the roles list select the "Active Directory Domain Services" role and Click "Next"
* Review the confirmation and click on "Next"
* Review the installation confirmation and click on "Next"
* It will take few minutes to complete and when its done you will get this confirmation. And then click on "Close"
After that you will need to do a reboot.
* After reboot please open up the "server Manager" again. And then

Hi there,
You use ip address of class A (10.0.0.14) then why not use subnet mask for class A too (255.0.0.0) instead of (255.255.255.0) ? Thanks before :)
Reply
34. *Dishan M. Francis* says: August 20, 2014 at 8:03 am
Hello Kevin,
First this is a demo. about the subnet mask of cause i can use /8 but there is no reason to waste that much of IP addresses. There is
no rule that you must use /8 if its in class A. you can decide subnet base on your IP requirement.

One more step to add at the very beginning for people like me who miss the blatantly obvious: *Make sure your computer name is what you want it to be before you start!* I followed this tutorial to set up my DC and DNS, and then followed another tutorial here [https://www.blackbaud.com/files/support/infinityinstaller/content/installermaster/tkaddadanddhcprolestoapplicationserver.htm] to also configure it as a DHCP and Certificate Authority (CA) server. Then I realized I had accidentally left the default name of my PC as WIN-LBQ4ISKVRCT. Imagine having to type that over and over again! To change the name, I had to go through the painful process of removing the CA role here [https://support.microsoft.com/kb/889250?wa=wsignin1.0], and got a nasty warning message when I went to rename the DC.
Moral of this story: Make sure your domain controller PC is named what you want it to be before you start! it will save you headaches down the line.
Again, excellent tutorial! Thank you!
