What are trying to do?

by multiplexed · 12 years ago In reply to HELP!!!!!!!!! 2003 AD/DN ...

What are you trying to do? If you're trying to set up AD for authenticating machines on the local lan, then run dcpromo from the run box. If you're trying to set up remote access, such as vpn, then try the RRAS (Routing and remote acccess)

Again, please clarify what you're trying to do. Also, technet on microsoft's website may be usefull.

What I'm trying to do?

by chrisnett · 12 years ago In reply to What are trying to do?

I wish to have users authenticated by AD as they log in, also set it up for file and print sharing. The remote access would be nice as well. You stated to run dcpromo from the CLI, but from which machine and what will this command do?
Thanks

if you have to ask........

by CG IT · 12 years ago In reply to HELP!!!!!!!!! 2003 AD/DN ...

then you don't know Active Directory.

The best suggestion would be to get some books on it and learn it. There isn't enough room to post what to do and why to do it.

Ok, so when I disable my linksys router from DHCP, I loss my connection to it all together. What gives?

Perhaps some MCSE training courses are in order for you

There is way too much technology to discuss on here to fully explain how AD and DNS work together.

I know.

by chrisnett · 12 years ago In reply to Perhaps some MCSE trainin ...

I understand that. But my only question is, why do I get disconnected from the router (Linksys) when I disable DHCP?

probably because

by CG IT · 12 years ago In reply to I know.

you don't have DHCP running on the W2003 Server.

Question is why did you turn it off. I didn't see anything about DHCP in your questions/posts.

if you disable DHCP on the linksys router, clients behind the router can not get an address, default gateway and DNS information because there is no server to give them that information.

DHCP

by chrisnett · 12 years ago In reply to probably because

I do have installed on my 2003 server. WHat I would like to accomplish, is the following.

1. Authenticate users as they log on.
2. File & print server.
3. And have the server dish out IP address. I was told by other members of this site, that in order for to have user authenticated with the AD, I must allow the server to handle IP and not the router. This didnt make much since to me with repect to having the router or server handle the IPs. But either case I cant get it to work.

Thanks
