Configuring an Active Directory Server
5.1.1 Installing the Windows Active Directory Server
First a Windows Server Operation System (Microsoft Windows Server 2003, 2008 or 2008 R2, in this example
Windows Server 2008 R2) is installed on any server.
After this has been installed, the following roles must be installed and configured:
– Active Directory (AD) Domain Services
– DNS Server (may be installed during execution of DCPROMO, if necessary)
– DHCP Server (optional)
