Active Directory Domain Services Installation & Configuration - Windows Server 2019

In this step by step guide you'll learn how to install & configure Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) role in Microsoft Windows Server 2019.

Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services is the corner stone that provides Access and Identity Management (IAM), in an on premises Microsoft Windows Server network. We begin by carrying out pre-installation tasks in server manager, which include: configuring a static IP address & assigning the server a host name.

In the next step we install the 'Active Directory Domain Services' role using the 'Add Roles & Features Wizard' and progress to 'promote' the server to a 'domain controller'. We'll add a new 'forest' and choose & specify the 'root domain name'.

We select forest and domain functional levels and automatically install the DNS role, before completing the installation of Active Directory Domain Services.

In the final part of the video, we log into our newly created domain controller (DC) and verify the installation from within server manager.
