Domain Settings for a Wireless Network

  • Article

After you have installed Windows Server 2003, you need to specify a domain name and promote your server to domain controller. For information about how to perform these steps, in the Windows Server 2003 Help, see "Domain controller role: Configuring a domain controller," and select the Creating a domain controller for a new forest option.

When you create your domain controller, make the following choices:

  • On the Domain Controller Type page of the Active Directory Installation Wizard, choose Domain controller for a new domain.
  • On the Create New Domain page, choose Domain in a new forest.
  • On the New Domain Name page, type Testdomain.com in the Full DNS name for new domain box.
  • On the DNS Registration Diagnostics page, choose Install and configure the DNS server on this computer, and set this computer to use this DNS server as its preferred DNS server.
