Creating Active Directory domain controller on Windows Server 2025
In this video, I'm showing how to create a domain controller on Windows Server 2025 and then add a workstation with Windows 11 to this domain.
Setting up a Windows Server domain controller involves installing and configuring Active Directory to manage users, devices, and policies within a network. First, install Windows Server, then open Server Manager to add the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) role. Promote the server to a domain controller and configure settings like domain name and DNS. Completing the Active Directory configuration ensures centralized authentication and access control for your organization.
