Installing Windows Server on VirtualBox, configuring it to work with DHCP Server, Active Directory and DNS Server

This project aims to demonstrate an installation of Windows Server on a virtual machine via VirtualBox (Oracle VM VirtualBox). Adding DHCP (+ share internet to local PCs), add Active Directory and DNS Server.

These are guidelines of the main setup key points and steps in the installation and configuration process.

If you need more detailed explanations, I will be glad for your feedback so I can prepare them.

This includes:

Step 1: Download and install VirtualBox;

Step 2: Creating a virtual machine for Server and Client's PCs;

Step 3: Network setting of the virtual machines (to be on the same network);

Step 4: Windows Servers setup - Network Adapters Configuration

Step 5: Windows Server setup - Add DHCP, Active Directory (AD) + DNS

Step 6: Configure Windows Server DHCP

Step 7: Configure Windows Server AD DS

After these steps you have Windows Server installed, configured Active Directory and a DHCP server to which you can connect client machines.

Step 8: Share Internet to LAN via NAT - Remote Access

Step 9: Configure Windows Client PC to join the Domain
