Hey guys, I'm not actively answering technical support type questions on this channel. If you have any technical support questions related to the lab I recommend you either rewatch the video to make sure you didn't miss anything, or go check out this video on Josh Madakor's channel where you can direct any technical support questions as it's really his lab, I just used and uploaded it for my own experience and resume which is exactly what he created it for and encourages people to do. I was responding to some technical support questions at first but my situation has changed and I can no longer do that. Thank you for understanding.

Thank you very much I succeded to get into the domain, but I had to change the dns in the client to the static ip of the DC and then I could connect . before that I couldn't

Hi Holo1, great video!! i was able to join my client to my domain controller but it looks like my client doesn't have internet access. I made sure to configure my DC to have both adapters with the recommended settings and my client has the internal network setting. Is there anything i maybe missing or I should check? TIA!!

[JoaoCozza-tjzk]

Hello @hollo,
I am confused... to configure the AD from scratch, I need to set up first the virtual machine?
Thanks

[r-dreyes]

i try it from different ISP and unfortunately doesn't work... i can't connect to the domain controller.

at 5:11 my second adaptor still shows a valid ip .ive done the tutorial a few times, still havent been able to get the apipa ip. i have done both vm settings as internal, andthe dc vm also has NAT as the other setting. Any ideas?

Thanks for the video. Need to know the hardware requirement for active directory lab using VMware
I have i3 based desktop pc.
How much RAM is required ?.

Quick question, why did you change your internal IP to 172.xxxx? Where did you get that IP from ?

[bigazTV]

Hey I use MAC is there a way to do this on MAC. I’m starting to think I might need to invest in a Window computer

[ztsrgwv]

for my client machine when i load up i am not able to have internet, when i type ipconfig in cmd it shows all the values u had when u did it but it is not connecting to internet why? how can i fix this
