Installing Windows Server 2012
• After we finish installing the server and every
time it loads, it takes us to the server manager
by default
• The server manager is where we manage the
server/s
• For the first time, click on Configure this local
server or click on Local Server link on the left
pane (they are the same)
Configuring the Local Server
• Then we are on the Local Server properties page.
• The first thing we see is the Computer Name
(having a random name)
• Click on the computer name to change the name
of the server
– Then click on Change button (shown on next slide)
– Type the name of the server on the Computer Name
text box, for this case name the server as AU-DC-1
– Click ok, it then restarts.
Configuring the Local Server
• Go to the local server again, then click on Windows
Firewall, because this server is for demonstration
purpose, turn the windows firewall off (for both
public and private networks)
– This is not recommended on real working environment
• You may see it is not off immediately on the local
server, but it will be changed after some moments,
or click on the refresh button on top
Configuring the Local Server
• Remote management is enabled by default, leave it
enabled
– With that we may not be at the physical computer, but we can
manage it remotely using commands in a domain environment
– Uses the winrm command
• Then enable Remote Desktop
– Disabled by default, so click on it, then click on “Allow remote
connections to this computer” option, click ok on the dialog
box, we can then select users of remote desktop, but for now
we have no users, so click ok.
– Remote desktop enables us to work on the server remotely
Configuring the Local Server
• The next is NIC Teaming, this is about bringing multiple
Network Interface Cards together to function as one network
connection (if we have more than 1 network adapters)
– We only have one NIC now, so leave it
• The next is Ethernet, by default it takes IP address from a
DHCP server, but we don’t want that since we will make this
machine a domain controller, so click on the link (IPV4
address…)
– Then right click on the network adapter, properties, select Internet
Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4), then click on properties, and select
“Use the following IP address” option, and give the IP address.
Configuring the Local Server
• Click on Windows update, then click on Turn
on automatic update
– It will update if you have Internet connection.
• Then leave all the rest as default but change
the time zone appropriately
