The last time you were in the lab, you setup a Windows 2003 Server Virtual Machine and added the Active Directory role to that machine. In this lab, you will add User Accounts and a Group to your Active Directory. Then, you will use the XP Virtual Machine that you created near the beginning of this course to join your Active Directory Domain.
Start the VMWare Console. Open (but do not start) your Windows 2003 Server Virtual Machine.
Make sure that your ethernet NIC is set to "host only". You want your virtual machines to be totally disconnected from the rest of the class room.
Start your Windows 2003 Server.
Find the tool that allows you to maintain your Acrtive Directory.
Add a User Account for yourself.
Add a User Account for another student in the room (or just make up a name).
Add a group called Student744
Make the two accounts you just added members of that group.
Leave this virtual machine up and running. You need Active Directory up and running for the next part of this exercise.
Open (but do not start) your Windows XP Virtual Machine.
Make sure that your ethernet NIC is set to "host only". You want your virtual machines to be totally disconnected from the rest of the class room.
Start your Windows XP Virtual Machine.
Join the domain that you created when you installed Active Directory on you Windows 2003 Server Virtual Machine.
Hint: Use Control/System/Computer name on your XP Virtual Machine.
Log on to your XP Virtual Machine using one of the accouts that you setup in the first part of this lab exercise.
