WINDOWS SERVER 2022 - ACTIVE DIRECTORY AND SAVE DOCUMENTS IN SERVER

Question

Good morning,

I have the following question:

I have a store with 8 computers, and I want all the computers to be connected to a server so that anyone who enters the username and password can log into any computer with their respective files stored in the user profile, and the files will be saved on the server.

I want Windows Server 2022 to be installed on Hyper-V, on a machine running Windows 10.

COMPUTER SPECIFICATIONS WINDOWS 10:

I5-2400

4GB RAM

256GB ROM

Below are the steps I've already taken:

1. I've installed the server on Hyper-V.
2. I've installed Active Directory.
3. I've created the user.

The computer recognizes that there is a domain named "creativehub.local," but it only accepts "creativehub." It asks for the administrator's password, I enter it, but it never accepts that it's correct.

I'm not sure how to proceed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 2

Hi,

Once you promoted the VM to domain controller, the local administrator account computername\administrator becomes the domain administrator account domain\administrator, so you have to log in as creativehub\administrator. The user password is still the same.
