Creating the first Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller in a domain

Preface: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition (32-bit x86)Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (32-bit x86)Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (32-bit x86)

One of the greatest features of Windows Server 2003 is its ability to be a Domain Controller (DC).  The features of a domain extend further than this tutorial ever could, but some of its most well known features are its ability to store user names and passwords on a central computer (the Domain Controller) or computers (several Domain Controllers).  In this tutorial we will cover the “promoting” (or creating) of the first DC in a domain.  This will include DNS installation, because without DNS the client computers wouldn’t know who the DC is.  You can host DNS on a different server, but we’ll only deal with the basics.

Method:

Click Start -> Run…

Type “dcpromo” and click “OK”

You will see the first window of the wizard.  As it suggests, I suggest reading the help associated with Active Directory.  After this, click “Next”

Click “Next” on the compatibility window, and in the next window keep the default option of “Domain Controller for a new domain” selected, and click “Next”

In this tutorial we will create a domain in a new forest, because it is the first DC, so keep that option selected

Now we have to think of a name for our domain.  If you own a web domain like “dlightdaily.com”, you can use it, but it isn’t suggested because computers inside of your domain may not be able to reach the company website.  Active Directory domains don’t need to be “real” domains like the one above – they can be anything you wish.  So here I will create “dlightdaily.com”

Now in order to keep things simple, we will use the first part of our domain (“visualwin”), which is the default selection, as the NetBIOS name of the domain

The next dialog suggests storing the AD database and log on separate hard disks, and so do I, but for this tutorial I’ll just keep the defaults

The SYSVOL folder is a public share, where things like .MSI software packages can be kept when you will distribute packages (as I said, AD has a lot of different features).  Once again, I will keep the default selection but it can be changed if you wish to use the space of another drive

Now we will get a message that basically says that you will need a DNS server in order for everything to work the way we want it (i.e., our “visualwin.testdomain” to be reachable).  As I mentioned earlier, we will install the DNS server on this machine as well, but it can be installed elsewhere.  So keep the default selection of “Install and configure”, and click “Next”

Because, after all, this is a Windows Server 2003 tutorial website, we’ll assume there are no pre-Windows 2000 servers that will be accessing this domain, so keep the default of “Permissions compatible only with Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 operating systems” and click “Next”

The restore mode password is the single password that all administrators hope to never use, however they should also never forget it because this is the single password that might save a failed server.  Make sure it’s easy to remember but difficult to guess

Now we will see a summary of what will happen.  Make sure it’s all correct because changing it afterwards can prove to be difficult

After the previous next was clicked, the actual process occurs.  This can take several minutes.  It’s likely that you will be prompted for your Windows Server 2003 CD (for DNS) so have it handy

If your computer has a dynamically assigned address (from DHCP) you will be prompted to give it a static IP address.  Click ok, and then in the Local Area Connection properties, click “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and then “Properties”

In the next window select “Use the following IP address” and select the information that you will use for your domain (and 127.0.0.1 for the primary DNS, because your computer will host DNS.  I still suggest setting up an alternate as well.)  Click “OK” and then “Close” on the next window

And after a while you will see

And we’re finished.

Summary

---

This article describes how to install and configure a new Active Directory installation in a laboratory environment that includes Windows Server 2003 and Active Directory. Note that you will need two networked servers that are running Windows Server 2003 for this purpose in a laboratory environment.

Creating the Active Directory

After you have installed Windows Server 2003 on a stand-alone server, run the Active Directory Wizard to create the new Active Directory forest or domain, and then convert the Windows Server 2003 computer into the first domain controller in the forest. To convert a Windows Server 2003 computer into the first domain controller in the forest, follow these steps:

1. Insert the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
2. Click Start, click Run, and then type dcpromo.
3. Click OK to start the Active Directory Installation Wizard, and then click Next.
4. Click Domain controller for a new domain, and then click Next.
5. Click Domain in a new forest, and then click Next.
6. Specify the full DNS name for the new domain. Note that because this procedure is for a laboratory environment and you are not integrating this environment into your existing DNS infrastructure, you can use something generic, such as dlightdaily.com, for this setting. Click Next.
7. Accept the default domain NetBIOS name (this is “dlightdaily” if you used the suggestion in step 6). Click Next.
8. Set the database and log file location to the default setting of the c:\winnt\ntds folder, and then click Next.
9. Set the Sysvol folder location to the default setting of the c:\winnt\sysvol folder, and then click Next.
10. Click Install and configure the DNS server on this computer, and then click Next.
11. Click Permissions compatible only with Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 servers or operating systems, and then click Next.
12. Because this is a laboratory environment, leave the password for the Directory Services Restore Mode Administrator blank. Note that in a full production environment, this password is set by using a secure password format. Click Next.
13. Review and confirm the options that you selected, and then click Next.
14. The installation of Active Directory proceeds. Note that this operation may take several minutes.
15. When you are prompted, restart the computer. After the computer restarts, confirm that the Domain Name System (DNS) service location records for the new domain controller have been created. To confirm that the DNS service location records have been created, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS to start the DNS Administrator Console.
    2. Expand the server name, expand Forward Lookup Zones, and then expand the domain.
    3. Verify that the _msdcs, _sites, _tcp, and _udp folders are present. These folders and the service location records they contain are critical to Active Directory and Windows Server 2003 operations.

Adding Users and Computers to the Active Directory Domain

After the new Active Directory domain is established, create a user account in that domain to use as an administrative account. When that user is added to the appropriate security groups, use that account to add computers to the domain.

1. To create a new user, follow these steps:
   1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers to start the Active Directory Users and Computers console.
   2. Click the domain name that you created, and then expand the contents.
   3. Right-click Users, point to New, and then click User.
   4. Type the first name, last name, and user logon name of the new user, and then click Next.
   5. Type a new password, confirm the password, and then click to select one of the following check boxes:
      
      • Users must change password at next logon (recommended for most users)
      • User cannot change password
      • Password never expires
      • Account is disabledClick Next.
   6. Review the information that you provided, and if everything is correct, click Finish.
2. After you create the new user, give this user account membership in a group that permits that user to perform administrative tasks. Because this is a laboratory environment that you are in control of, you can give this user account full administrative access by making it a member of the Schema, Enterprise, and Domain administrators groups. To add the account to the Schema, Enterprise, and Domain administrators groups, follow these steps:
   1. On the Active Directory Users and Computers console, right-click the new account that you created, and then click Properties.
   2. Click the Member Of tab, and then click Add.
   3. In the Select Groups dialog box, specify a group, and then click OK to add the groups that you want to the list.
   4. Repeat the selection process for each group in which the user needs account membership.
   5. Click OK to finish.
3. The final step in this process is to add a member server to the domain. This process also applies to workstations. To add a computer to the domain, follow these steps:
   1. Log on to the computer that you want to add to the domain.
   2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
   3. Click the Computer Name tab, and then click Change.
   4. In the Computer Name Changes dialog box, click Domain under Member Of, and then type the domain name. Click OK.
   5. When you are prompted, type the user name and password of the account that you previously created, and then click OK.
      
      A message that welcomes you to the domain is generated.
   6. Click OK to return to the Computer Name tab, and then click OK to finish.
   7. Restart the computer if you are prompted to do so.

Troubleshooting

You Cannot Open the Active Directory Snap-ins

After you have completed the installation of Active Directory, you may not be able to start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, and you may receive an error message that indicates that no authority can be contacted for authentication. This can occur if DNS is not correctly configured. To resolve this issue, verify that the zones on your DNS server are configured correctly and that your DNS server has authority for the zone that contains the Active Directory domain name. If the zones appear to be correct and the server has authority for the domain, try to start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in again. If you receive the same error message, use the DCPROMO utility to remove Active Directory, restart the computer, and then reinstall Active Directory.

Hemp Russet Mite Detected in Several Areas across Kentucky

Kentucky Pest News

Problem

During the last 2 weeks of July, several hemp samples were received and evaluated by specialists at the University of Kentucky (Lexington and Princeton).  Hemp russet mites (Aculops cannabicola, Acari: Eriophyidae) (Figure 1) were observed on nearly all of the samples. Mite infestations originate in the greenhouse and outdoors and can become a serious problem for hemp growers when population outbreaks occur.

Description of feeding damage by hemp russet mite

In greenhouse settings, small populations of hemp russet mites can go unnoticed.  However, when populations increase, curling leaf margins can easily be identified (Figure 2, see older leaves) – similar injury can also be caused by broad mites (Tarsonemidae), which will be discussed at another opportunity.  When population outbreaks of russet mites occur in shoots, and developing leaves, they appear brown or golden colored (Figure 2). Later, the foliage may become brittle and break easily at the petiole…

New podcast in your app: A conversation with value

New podcast in your app: A conversation with value

Conversation between two people in everyday life will mostly be driven by a mutual desire to be in dialogue and respect each other. Exchange views. Reach an agreement. When the conversation is really good, both parties will be curious and open to each other’s points of view. 

Give space, keep quiet and listen when the other person speaks and ask questions.

Being  curious  about each other has several positive effects. We can become wiser by listening and accommodating. And then the person that the other person is curious about will feel recognized by the direct feeling that there is a person who seems to be genuinely interested in what he or she is telling.

This is the type of conversation that we need to have more of in the health sector. And in today’s dewy  podcast  you can meet some who have made it a regular part of their clinical work to have this type of conversation with the patients and relatives who come to the Blood Diseases Department at Rigshospitalet.

They have developed the concept ‘ Conversation about life and treatment ‘, which is the starting point for a larger effort to  help patients and their relatives  decide on important questions already early in the course of the illness, so that treatment and care can adapt to the patient’s wishes and goals .

The nurse and doctor involved in the episode say they think they have become  better clinicians . Patients and relatives have become more satisfied. 

They have changed a culture and the management has backed up – with good help from a stubborn implementation agent, Katrina Pitt Winther, who has in a way ‘curled’ the effort to success. 

IT TAKES TO LONG! 

This is often the argument against engaging in thorough value-based conversations. Therefore, the meetings in the outpatient clinic have been reorganized to create time for the thorough conversation. You can hear more about how in the episode.

This about being  curious and open  in a conversation is something I’m quite concerned about. That is why, among other things, I have taken a course in something called  Teamcoaching,  where I have learned how to facilitate a team or a group of people to work better together. 

It is therefore an important podcast episode that you can listen to this time, which I hope you will be inspired and motivated by. I became one myself when I did the interview.

WHICH CAME FIRST? THE BARGAIN OR THE GROWTH STOCK?

It’s a classic thought experiment. “Which came first: the chicken or the egg?”

Clearly, the egg came first; that’s where chickens come from! But, wait. Who laid the egg?…

There’s a similar conundrum found in our work. In business and investing, we like to look for strong companies—ones that spend wisely, save well, and try to build an enterprise that can remain durable across changes in the economy. Often, these companies must have a strong balance sheet (i.e., more cash than debt) in order to grow to the size of an industry leader.

Clients, in the early stages of the pandemic, we invested in some companies leading their industries. Our original investing thesis was that even if the virus took its toll and a worst-case scenario occurred, people would still need the staples.

People would still need groceries.

People would still buy meat.

People would still order prescriptions.

While we were sure these everyday items would be impacted by pandemic life, we also believed they would likely survive—in one form or another.

Now many of these market leaders have been able to use the resources of a market leader to continue to evolve and transform organically. They may seem like “boring” companies on the surface, but in times of challenge, they are acting like growth stocks: many have been the first-movers among their peers, making plans that could shift their whole industries.

And believe it or not, we bought some of these companies as bargains. So which came first?

It’s fun being us. Clients, we are always looking for opportunities. Are you seeing anything that we should be watching? Let us know. And when you want to know more about what this all means for your portfolio, call or write.

No More Mistakes With APPLE PRODUCTS ARE THEY WORTH IT

Having an apple gadget is pretty !

The elegance, the design, etc ;). Just don’t talk about its specs and price. Why?

Apple has this nasty habit of selling new stuff containing hardware specs that are not so satisfying at an expensive price.

After a few months.., you get a price drop.

Take the latest gadget as an example. the iPod touch was released late last year of (October I think). I bought one last November, a 16 gig iPod touch.

Then just this month, they announce a 32gig version of it with a slight price gap than the 16 gig model.

I know, I know.. why did I buy one knowing that Apple does this all the time? it’s a cool gadget for one. and 16gig of space is good enough for me.

I don’t keep movies anyway so it’s alright.

The problem will be if you want to keep lots of movies in it and you want your converted files not to have its quality degraded.

The file sizes are awfully big if you are a quality freak.

My worst experience was with the very first model of the iPod. back then, it was only a 4gig model. I was so pissed when I got one because after a few months they slashed the price of the bigger capacity models to the same price as the 4gig model that I just got.

My advice to you, if you want to buy an Apple gadget/accessory or whatever. Make sure that you won’t regret what you just bought and that your gadget will keep you contented for many years.

check out the specs and see if it will suit your needs for many years. if not, have it upgraded (like in a laptop or desktop’s case).

I’m not regretting the 16gig iPod touch that’s for sure. I already learned my lesson…

let’s hope the MacBook air won’t disappoint a lot of people too.

its specs didn’t impress me. yes, it’s attractive because it’s so thin. but it doesn’t have a dvd writer.

you’d have to buy one as an accessory which means, added cost.

thin as in so thin which makes it gullible to damage. not only that, its introductory price is very very very expensive it’s not worth it.

if you have the cash though, go get it.

what’s in store for me next? probably nothing.. I am very contented with my MacBook and itouch… good for 10 years or more.. so id probably get a new iPod after 1 decade haha
