|   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.   |
