If you're going to use VirtualBox for this, make sure to set the network settings of your VMs to "NAT Network" so that they are able to communicate. I had trouble with the DNS part and this has resolved it. Hope this helps.
You explained everything so well. Even gave extra as to why. Other videos I watched they just said what to do and didn't work. This one works and I know why it works!
Greetings, Jim Schultz You live in the Milwaukee region, as do I here in Kenosha, Wisconsin, I noted. I wanted to thank you for your educational films, which have been a great help to me as I want to work in the IT industry.
Highly recommend this video! Building out my home lab currently and this is the video to watch and get a grasp on AD DS configuration. You deserve more subs bro
This was very useful. @Jim Schultz waiting on your Active Directory Walkthrough Video ! Also for those of us folks that would like to get this done relatively quickly perhaps building both the Windows Machine and AD on Azure VM would be very helpful. Cheers!
thanks for this wonderful video am doing this exact setup but definitely your computer is blazing fast ,i had to pause multiple times to wait for my i7 32GB ram to catch up. Just created this exact lab set up took me about 4hrs .thanks a lot looking forward to do the practice
35:33 for some reason, after doing this and installing Active Directory Domain Services, Service Manager doesn't launch anymore for me. Everything else after works, like joining the Windows 11 PC to domain
41:57 about the DNS, my Windows Server had only loopback address too... however was able to make domain lookups for whatever site i went to; after some research and using nslookup I found my windows server did not know what DNS server it was using. this is because DNS Forwarding was active on the server. go to DNS then properties somewhere and I had 2 of my ISP DNS services listed there. :) so technically you dont need to configure DNS server to your server?
8GB for DC and PC for labbing purposes is way overkill, currently I running 2 DC one of them have AAD installed with 3 and 2 GB respectively, SCCM 8GB and 5 PC with 2 GB each, and its running quite fast on NVMe drive.
PC = Primary Domain Controller or do you mean Processor Cores or do you mean Personal Computers? Otw I can’t follow very well although I agree that his allocations of RAM are silly but so is using Windows 11 😅
I watched a similar video setting this up. However, in that video the person used 2 network adapters. How would you do this in VMware? The 2nd network adapter was internal and clients connected through this adapter to get to the internet. Also in that video the adapter connected to the internet used dhcp.
In VMware you can go into the machine and select "Edit virtual machine settings", then under the hardware tab click "add" to select a second network adapter. From within that same hardware tab of the VM settings panel you can also select if it will use NAT, Bridged, etc.
@@Jim_Schultz businesses are only moving to Windows 11 because they are operating from various desktops/laptops in their home offices. Windows 11 is an interim OS originally known as Windows 10X. Its biggest improvement is WSL for Android and TPM integration
I would check out Parallels as they supposedly support the M1: www.parallels.com/blogs/parallels-desktop-m1/ I believe VMware is also releasing a product soon but it is still in beta: blogs.vmware.com/teamfusion/2021/09/fusion-for-m1-public-tech-preview-now-available.html
So I'm doing this, following along step by step minus the fact that I am using an actual physical server I picked up for a good refurb price to practice on at home. All is going well except now I restarted my server after setting IPv4, DNS, the Server Roles/Features Wizard etc and I can't log in now upon normal Windows Server 2022 restart. It now has my login credentials as my made up domain i.e. EXAMPLE\ADMINISTRATOR with a message when I try to log in with my normal password, "the securty database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship" wtf
Didn't work, When you say the issue might be DNS maybe show people what to check where to check and how to change things. Also not everyone is running windows 11. DO things manually so everyone can follow.
This is the video I was looking for last one year, full end to end tutorial

Thank for this Jim, straight and precise
Jim Schultz...... Damn, This is just too superb man. i love every bit of this video, The explaining was straight forward and explicit

I've worked in IT for sometime now (a mix of Help Desk/desktop and even systems admin) but have only really set up my own lab DC now. Thank you!
Highly recommend this video! Building out my home lab currently and this is the video to watch and get a grasp on AD DS configuration. You deserve more subs bro
This is such a good video man. I want to thank you for taking the time and explaining SOOO many things in detail.
Thank you for this great video Jim. 10/10. ✅👌
This was an absolutely fantastic video, thank you Jim!
Thank you so much Jim for the amazing, detailed tutorial. I really appreciate it.
TOTALLY AWSOME . Thank you sooo much. great video!

Wow 4 hours? Did you do all that on a laptop or desktop?
Awesome tutorial! Thanks Jim!
Great video very helpful for new users
Great job, really easy to follow along
Do you have a link to a follow up video by any chance ?
WOw sir you made my day thank you so much

Great video!
What is the host machine specs and SO you are using? Can I use VMware for free for testing kn my homelab? Thanks in advance.
8GB for DC and PC for labbing purposes is way overkill, currently I running 2 DC one of them have AAD installed with 3 and 2 GB respectively, SCCM 8GB and 5 PC with 2 GB each, and its running quite fast on NVMe drive.
What kind of hardware?

Please do posting more videos on AD

I followed the steps exactly, but I can't get the Server VM to connect to the internet!
DNS is not working on my VM...I triple checked the ip address and DNS to make sure they matched and when I pinged the server, it didn't respond.
I use VirtualBox VM, so I had to play with the settings, BUT I GOT IT!! :D
@@Dwayneff what settings got it working for you?
@@raphaelpio5721 im sorry, I don't even remember. I haven't used it in over a year.
Should I try this even though my laptop is only 16 gb?
Quick question. Why did you decide to go with Windows 11, when most businesses are still using Windows 10?
To future proof the content. Business are starting to move to Windows 11 and sooner or later Microsoft will force it.
I was going to ask the same question? Why would you choose Windows 10X aka 11 when it is an experimental version
@@Jim_Schultz businesses are only moving to Windows 11 because they are operating from various desktops/laptops in their home offices. Windows 11 is an interim OS originally known as Windows 10X. Its biggest improvement is WSL for Android and TPM integration
Does it really matter if the purpose is to learn server admin not windows 11?
Can you suggest which other app to use on M1chip instead of vmware as its not supported on Macbook pro m1
I would check out Parallels as they supposedly support the M1: www.parallels.com/blogs/parallels-desktop-m1/
I believe VMware is also releasing a product soon but it is still in beta: blogs.vmware.com/teamfusion/2021/09/fusion-for-m1-public-tech-preview-now-available.html
How did you change the size of the command prompt's fonts?
ctrl and scroll at the same time

I'm going to guess you didn't encrypt your user VM and then install the security module he does in the beginning.
Windows 10 needs that as well
@@robertstahl8835 This fixed my issue of not being able to ping infost.local. Great comment, thanks for the help.
Use 2 NICs... Sooooooo much easier.
