very helpful for practice in a test environment. Working help desk as an entry level position, I've not been able to learn these skills because the domain is already set up in my company and likely will never get the chance to. This way I can see how things work from the ground up

Great Video. I really appreciate you showing what could go wrong when you don't put the ip address of the DC on the client machine. This was a problem i was facing. My other problem was I wasn't using NAT Network. Thank you for showing that.

Thank you so much! You solved all of my questions!

I think there's a step missed out here. Before one starts. In VirtualBox: click Settings, Network. You should only have one of the adapter's ticked. It should be a: "NAT Network", named NatNetwork.

I'm not sure whether this is done before or after the File, Preferences, Network business. If you can't make it before then do it after!

The clue to this is when 'JOB Skills' shows his VirtualBox settings, the Network is set to Adapter 1: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (NAT Network 'NatNetwork'). At about time = 2:30.

Can I do this if the Windows 10 machine being added to the domain is local and not another VM? I can't seem to get it to work.

[GrafMKristo]

11:28 (inputting domain name in 'slave' OS) - should have used NAME of domain controller, not address.
Also if you have the same issue after his suggested fix you should try:
- off Windows Firewall on the member machine;
- switch to Home network mode.

Can you help me my network adapter is getting connecting to Domain network by default ..Dont know how to connect it to default network.
