Change adapter to 480-WAN

Install ADDS:

Set Admin passwd
Configure network

Rename Computer (Do this before forest install)

Rename-Computer -NewName "<name>"

SSH from xubuntu to dc1

The command below will show all windows features are installed and can be installed

Get-WindowsFeature

Install-WindowsFeature -Name AD-Domain-Services -IncludeManagementTools

To view see available module commands you can run

Get-Command -Module ADDSDeployment

New Domain Admin User:

$pw = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter a Password for this user' -AsSecureString
 
New-ADUser -Name paul-adm.gleason -AccountPassword $pw -Passwordneverexpires $true -Enabled $true
 
Add-ADGroupMember -Identity "Domain Admins" -Members paul-adm.gleason

Install Forest:

Install-ADDSForest -DomainName “paul.local”

Forest Made

DNS Role:

Get-WindowsFeature | where {($_.name -like “DNS”)}
 
Install-WindowsFeature DNS -IncludeManagementTools

Reverse Zone Creation:

Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -NetworkId “10.0.17.0/24” -ReplicationScope “Domain”

Create A type with PTR:

Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA -Name "480-fw" -ZoneName "paul.local" -AllowUpdateAny -IPv4Address "10.0.17.2" -TimeToLive 01:00:00 -CreatePTR

Create PTR alone:

Add-DnsServerResourceRecordPtr -Name "4" -ZoneName "17.0.10.in-addr.arpa" -AllowUpdateAny -TimeToLive 01:00:00 -AgeRecord -PtrDomainName "dc1-paul.paul.local"

Highlighted ones are correct the middle 2 were mistakes

DNS Forwarder:

Was already set to the firewall.

Test DNS:

Test-DnsServer -IPAddress 10.0.17.4 -ZoneName “paul.local”

Install DHCP:

Install-WindowsFeature DHCP -IncludeManagementTools
 
Netsh dhcp add securitygroups
 
Restart-service dhcpserver

Add-DHCPServerv4Scope -Name “Main” -StartRange 10.0.17.101 -EndRange 10.0.17.150 -SubnetMask 255.255.255.0 -State Active
 
Set-DhcpServerv4Scope -ScopeId 10.0.17.0 -LeaseDuration 1.00:00:00
 
Set-DHCPServerv4OptionValue -ScopeID 10.0.17.0 -DnsDomain paul.local -DnsServer 10.0.17.4 -Router 10.0.17.2

Had to do this part as admin:

Add-DhcpServerInDC -DnsName paul.local -IpAddress 10.0.17.4
 
Get-DhcpServerInDC

Restart-service dhcpserver

Remote Desktop Setup:

On xubuntu:

sudo apt install remmina
