Great video Jon, I wish I found it earlier during the initial setup of my new Dell PowerEdge server. Still very useful as I was able to better understand some configurations and adjust them.
Good day Sir. Thank you for this informative video. I found it very helpful. Can you do another one the Server Manager. How it works and how to properly put it to use. Thank you
Very insightful as ever Jon, managed to acquire Server 2022 ISO a few weeks ago, currently in the process of getting the virtual machine sorted, thanks for sharing this provided me with a great insight of how to configure 😀
Will do Jon, hopefully will be posting it all on LinkedIn, ASAP, as a initial first phase step I have just purchased a 8GB flash drive, to build the ISO with the Rufus tool, I have also got a network share on my file server which contains all my OS ISO packages, which is locked down to a precise security group, as don’t want my dummy users accessing content they should not be accessing, finding all this stuff I’m doing very useful as it’s helping sell myself too in IT techie job interviews etc
Two questions. For this series of tutorials; 1- Do we want to use DHCP or is this a closed network? I noticed you went for a 192.168.1.0/24 configuration. 2-I also notice that you set aside a partition when allocating the disk space at the very beginning when creating the VMServer. I forgot to do that. Can that be undone or should I create a new virtual machine? by the way. thank you for such informative video.
Hi, I think it's a good idea to go through the set up of the DHCP role. Pretty much all Windows Server networks (except very small ones) deploy it. I have a video that goes through the process, that will help. In terms of the partitioning, I would go for a reinstall, because it's great for learning and becomes second nature.
Hi, for a home/test lab the gateway IP would typically be an Internet router and for a test server, my suggestion would be to pick an IP that can be excluded from the DHCP scope (or an address that is not used by devices). In a enterprise network environment, the IP address scheme would be chosen based on the size of the network and divided into networks. I have a small series of videos that cover IPv4 addresses that go more in depth. Hope this helps Jon
Hi, I have Processors: 2x (2.40 GHz) 14-Core Xeon E5-2680V4 Processors, Memory (RAM): 96GB (6x16GB) DDR4 2133 MHz PC4 R Memory, Could I upgrade to WS 2022? Will it be compatible with my computer built
@@ittaster hi would it be possible to email you directly as I am have a couple of issues with ip address and nslookup I would be easier if I take a screen shot and send them to you rather than explaining in a message
@@ittaster do I need to install the dns feature or will this automatically happen once I promote to domain controller as I noticed in your videos that initially the dns is pointed to the default gateway but then in second video dns is 127.1.0.0 ?
Hi, when you install ADDS for the first time DNS (Microsoft dynamic DNS) will be installed also. The IP Address 127.0.0.1 is konwn as the lookback address. It's a special IP address to direct traffic to the server itself (DNS resolution in this case). Hope this helps. Jon
Jon, Installed a configured as watch all your videos all went well apart from when I try to join workstation to domain. I can ping static ip address for server however nslookup fails to resolve dns any thoughts please ?
Hello Sir, please how can i connect remote desktop connection outside my local network without a router access? I know about port forwarding but i don't have a router.. **********I appreciate your response***********
hi, i have some issues with internet connection if i configure the ipv4 as u show in the video, should i configure it differently base on my IPs? for example is it possible that my ip is different from your
Hi, if you have a different IP address range consider picking a static IPv4 address from your own range, the important thing is to make sure the IP address doesn't conflict with any of your other devices.
Hi, I tend to use 192.168.0.0 to fit better with a home lab/home router set up for ease of learning. In a production network a class A type address is going to be more scaleable.
Im pretty new to Windows, so wondering abuot licensing. If I install the eval version, is it possible to upgrade that server instance with Standard license later on or would I need to migrate to a new server instance? Also, not sure on what the CAL license is all about, is that only needed for multi-user or do I need that regardless of how many users I have? I only plan to have "Administrator" account on Windows server.
Hi, Windows server eval install media usually contains standard and data centre versions. A suggested approach may be to install a new clean installation with a new license and downloaded full version. A CAL is a client access license. For each Windows client workstation a CAL is needed. Licensing can be a complicated thing, there are user CALs (based on the number of users) and device CALs based on the number of devices. It is then a case of selecting the appropriate licensing model.
Do you have any videos or can you do a video on: 1. Windows Server Essentials 2022 Installation, Setup & configuration for 25-users /w workstation files backup 2. Windows Server Essentials 2022 Installation, Setup & configuration for Microsoft/Office 365 & Azure AD /w Azure Backup
I want this server 22 std ver . Used for gaming Because is does not have cortana. No bloat ware. Less space taken only 11 gb in 64 gb partition. Can I play game . Less time to boot. Than windows 11 an 10
Good Day, the video was amazingly understandable, but i didnt get one thing, why did you set exactly these ips, im newbie, so sorry if my question is lil stupid
Hi, thanks for you comments and great feedback! To answer your question. The 192.168.1.0/24 network is fairly typical of a small home network/lab, to make it easy to follow studying at home. This network range allows up to 254 host devices. However it wouldn't be suitable for larger networks. I have a small series of videos that cover IPv4 addressing that go more in depth.
So I'm trying to build a home server to backup the Windows Devices in my house and store stuff on it, will this work for it, I got a 5 TB Hard drive on hand?
Hi when I select my server from the list in install ad ds there is another ip in front of the static one assigned it is hpreliant ml30 gen 10 could it be anything to do with ilo ? You help would be much appreciated
Have just started with Windows Server and having followed your tutorial l have setup my static IP address as 192.168.0.200 but upon going to All Servers my IPv4 address is shown as 169.254.61.189,192.168.0.200. Is this correct or have l done something incorrect.
Hi, the 169.254.61.189 is an (APIPA) address, you may have a second network adapter in your lab machine that doesn't have an IP address assigned. If it's a learning lab machine a suggestion to consider might be to disable it, or create a 'team' with your other adaptor. Hope this helps Jon
