This blog's focus will be on the Active Directory suite of technologies. These technologies provide the underpinning for the majority of Microsoft's suite of business-ready products. As such, this blog will touch on all aspects of Active Directory including Security, Group Policy, Kerberos, Authentication, Authorization, Operations, Migrations, and Troubleshooting.

Feel free to join me as I learn about this core set of technologies.

Windows 2008 Server Core–Initial Configuration

In this video, I show the basic steps necessary to set up a Windows Server Core machine so that it can communicate on the network and join an Active Directory domain.

In this video, I show how to use NETSH and NETDOM to configure TCP/IP settings, rename the computer and join an existing domain.

Tools used in this video:

  1. NETSH – This is a multi-purpose command-line tool that is useful for performing many different tasks within a Windows Server environment.  In the present video, I show how to use this tool to configure TCP/IP and DNS settings on a selected network interface.
  2. NETDOM – This tool allows the administrator to work with Active Directory domains as well as trust relationships from the command line.
