Step 1. (This will take some time so be patient\u2026)
\nInstall The os by booting from the Windows Server 2003 CD, make sure to have one partition
\nfor the os (windows 2003 server) and one partition to be used purely as the RIS share
\nOnce the os is fully installed and relavant drivers installed, Click on ‘Add or remove a role’ in the
\nManage your server dialog box.
\n<\/p>\n
click ‘next’ to continue, ignore any DHCP errors for your network controller as we will be making
\nthis a DHCP server shortly…
\nChoose ‘custom configuration’ and scroll down to the ‘Domain Controller (Active directory)
\noption<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll then see the following screen<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You will now see an Active Directory Installation Wizard pop up<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Click next to continue<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
click next again to continue and select the following configuration<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Next we have to give it a DNS name<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then the Netbios name<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And then it\u2019ll prompt for the database and log folders, go with the defaults as below<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you get a DNS diagnostic Failed error simply choose to \u2018Install and configure the DNS\u2026
\n(second option)
\nNote:
\n\u00b7 The error you have experienced while using the Active Directory Installation
\nWizard does not prevent you from successfully promoting this server to a domain
\ncontroller. You may continue to promote this server and then correct its DNS
\nconfiguration following promotion.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Set your permissions as above
\nThen enter a password for restore mode !<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Review the actions performed<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Click next and it will configure your server<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You may be prompted to insert the Windows 2003 Server CD<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you have a network cards installed and setup to receive its IP from another DHCP
\nserver (a router for example) then you may get an error like this<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I chose Local area connection, then properties, then TCP\/IP properties and manually
\nadded the following:Manually
\nconfigure the network cards tcpip properties for 192.168.3.1<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I then clicked on OK *(three times)
\nIf you get a message about it using the localhost ip for DNS then click OK.
\nAt this point the wizard may appear to be hanging, but it isn’t, just be patient and wait
\nuntil it completes (can take 15 minutes or so)
\nWhen it’s finished you’ll see this<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After clicking finish you’ll be asked to restart.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
reboot when Click Finish and then click ‘Add or remove a role’ in the Manage your server dialog box. scroll down to DHCP server and click next.<\/p>\n The wizard will probably copy some files from the Windows 2003 server CD<\/p>\n Next we need to configure our scope (New Scope Wizard)<\/p>\n Don\u2019t bother to add any exclusions (just click next)<\/p>\n Leave the lease duration as default, and next select No, I will configure these options later for You should now see this<\/p>\n Click Finish. right click on the highlighted scope and choose activate then Once done you should now have the DHCP server scope activated and the DHCP server Ok, that was Step 1, took a bit of time didn\u2019t it ??<\/p>\n Step 2. Scroll down to ‘Remote Installation Services’, place a check mark in the empty box and click Once done, click Finish<\/p>\n and reboot the computer when prompted to do so by clicking on Step 3. Starting the RIS server process. point the RIS installation folder to a separate partition from the OS<\/p>\n Insert the Windows XP SP2 VLK cd, and Tell windows where the XP cd is goingto be (in this case Reboot the computer Step 1. (This will take some time so be patient\u2026) Install The os by booting from the Windows Server 2003 CD, make sure to have one partition for the os (windows 2003 server) and one partition to be used purely as the RIS share Once the os is fully installed and relavant drivers installed, Click […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general-2003-stuff"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsoftgeek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsoftgeek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsoftgeek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsoftgeek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsoftgeek.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=33"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/microsoftgeek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35,"href":"https:\/\/microsoftgeek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33\/revisions\/35"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsoftgeek.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=33"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsoftgeek.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=33"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsoftgeek.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=33"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
