Active directory

Installation of Windows Server 2003 Active DirectoryMicrosoft Windows Server 2003 will not work optimally if Active Directory is not installed.All related services and Active Directory domain is in this.So if you do not install Active Directory means that your computer is only used as a Workgroup only.When used as a workgroup, then the Active Directory does not need to be installed.
Active Directory can only be installed if already installed a network card (NIC) is good and right and the hard drive must be formatted NTFS.For that you must install Microsoft Windows Server 2003 in NTFS format.
To install Active Directory Microsoft Windows Server 2003 a lot of the way, can by typing DCPROMO from RUN,you can also avail the facility Manager Your Server. For that you can perform the most simple.
Active Directory Installation
When finished installing the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and no mistake, the next step is to install Active Directory.There are two ways you can do is to install Active Directory.First by writing or typing DCPROMO from the RUN or can also use the facilities Wizard provides.As the following illustration will explain the procedure you have to do is as follows:

    Click Next again, then on a New Domain Name dialog box, type your domain name, for example DATAKOM.COM
    Click Next and let the computer work and if no errors or conflicts, then automatically the NetBIOS Domain Name dialog box
    will be filled at the Datakom
    Click Next again. After that the computer will display a dialog box Database and Log Folders to store data related
    with the Database and Log.
    Click Next to continue your work. Re-named the next dialog box will appear Shared System Volume
    Of the Shared System Volume dioalog box above you click Next to continue.
    DNS Registration Diagnostics dialog box appears immediately, if you will make it automatically DNS for your server,
    then you select the Install and configure the DNS on this computer
    Click Next. Then will appear the statement, if the server can be used by any computer running Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003
    to bottom or just a Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003 alone. In this book I chose to have all Windows 2003-based computer
    down to join the server.
    Click Next. Password dialog box to write the Directory Services Restore Mode Administrator Password instantly appear.
    For that you type your password in the fields provided, for example datakom2005, type the password once again that last, datakom2005.
    If you are unclear click the Active Directory Help.
    Click Next to continue.
    Directory Services Restore Mode Administrator Password, ie write Password Directory Services Restore Mode Administrator Password

    After you press the Finish button the computer will display the two statements on whether the computer will restart or not.
    Select and click Restart and let the computer boot automatically.
    At the login you will see a difference, where as before you installed Active Directory Domain not found,
    while after Active Directory is installed, your Domain name Datakom will perform the installation.
    At the first login and you install Active Directory by using Add or remove a facility rool,
    then the computer will be a little slow and it will appear next show, then you click Finish to close it.
IP Address on the Server
Real Server IP Address for this when the Active Directory installation process will be directly asked whether filled or not.
    If you have not filled during the installation you have to fill it.
IP Address purpose is to give an address for a server or computer on a network.Simply put the computer in the network can be recognized by all client and himself should be given an address.This address is the IP Address. IP address is a specific number that will be used as a benchmark forgave an address on an existing client in a LAN-based Client Server or Workgroup.
Problem granting IP address or delivery address can not be arbitrary, especially if your computer is used as a Web Server.It is clear from the IP Address does not provide any, should be tailored to the needs and the existing rules.In this example I give the IP address for my server named Datakom the number 192.168.53.1Then another number for all clients should refer to this number, for example for Client numbers should start from 192.168.53.11 to 192.168.53.100or according to the number of computers that will connect to the network. To learn more about IP addresses and TCP / IPYou can read my book about the IP Address and TCP / IP.
If there are two or more servers you can use the Child Domain (CDC) or Primery Domain (PDC).Even if you want a backup can also be added to Backup Domain Controller (BDC), but the latter did not I explain in this book.
Then if you'll put a server there are two different segments, then you have to give IP the two segments,A server that is a number such as 192.168.53.1 and the group is all clients must begin with IP 192.168.53.xx.As for the server B can use a number 192.168.10.1 or as needed, then if such IP numbersfor this client group should be preceded by IP number 192.168.10.xx. As for the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 itTo find out about these classes of IP addresses you can read in the previous section.
Then if you want to combine two different server segment, then the server must be one of the Router.The way you do not need to buy a router but simply adding 1 (one) another network card or NIC on one server that exist,for example on Server A with IP tailored to servers that are used as routers.
IP Address
Server computer so that you can be recognized, it must be given the address of the IP Address. Procedures that have to do is as follows:

    From the Desktop right click the mouse just above the LAN indicator on the blade side of your screen.
    Once the dialog box will appear that Local Area Connection Status. Or you can go through the Start button,
    and select Connect to and select Show all connections. After that just right click on Local Area Connection and select Properties.
    Select and click Properties. After that will appear Local Area Connection Properties window will appear.
    Click the Show icon in taskbar when connected to Local Area Connection showing signs of the taskbar
    Click Internet Protocol (TCP / IP)
    Click on Properties. Once the dialog box will appear that Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) Properties
    Click Use the Following IP Address
    Type the IP address 192.168.53.1 in field
    Click the tab on the keyboard
    Subnet mask column does not need to fill in, by pressing the tab Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is automatically filled
Fill the DNS Server
To fill the DNS services can be directly on the General tab in the Preferred DNS server field.However, you also can use the way which I will explain the following:

    Click the Advanced tab. Once the dialog box that will appear the Advanced TCP / IP Settings
    Click the DNS tab
    Click the Add
    Type 192.168.53.2 in the column under DNS server
    Click the Add
    Click OK to close the dialog box
    Click OK
    Click OK again to close the Local Area Connection Properties dialog and store the provisions of the settings you have done
Try to check whether your work has been successful or not. The way of typing RUN PING 192.168.53.1 you should configureand check the network card (NIC) or LAN cards, cables, etc. used in your computer. Until here, the explanationregarding the installation of Active Directory is. Information and settings associated with Active Directory I will explain in the next section.
