| Installation of Windows Server |
| Benefit: Installation of server operating system is mandatory for domain environment. |
| Installation and Configuration of Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) |
| Benefit: AD DS promotes a server to Domain Controller (DC). User accounts of all employees are stored in DC instead of local computer. A user can login to any computer only if its account is active at DC. |
| Creating User Accounts |
| Benefit: Users are created at DC so they can login to their computers. |
| Creating Computer Accounts |
| Benefit: Computer accounts are created so that policies can be applied at computers. |
| Designing Group Policy Objects (GPO) |
| Benefit: GPO are policies which define what a user can do on its computer. These policies are created and enforced on users and computers based on organizational hierarchy. |
| Setting up Client Computers |
| Benefit: Every computer in your company will be configured to join Domain so that the power to control each computer is shifted from local computer to Domain Controller. |
| DHCP Server - Installation and Configuration |
| Benefit: Whenever a computer joins the network, DHCP server configures networking in the computer automatically. You can use internet on the computer without configuring network manually. |
| DNS server - Installation and Configuration |
| Benefit: DNS Server converts domain names (e.g. yourcompany.com.pk) to IP addresses (e.g. 258.186.15.873) so that you can browse a website with domain name instead of IP address of the server. Running DNS Server locally is mandatory for domain environment. |
