About this Hands-on Lab

In this hands-on lab, we will learn how to deploy a new domain controller in a new Active Directory site.

Learning Objectives

Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:

Log In to the Server and Create a New Active Directory Site
  1. Use Active Directory Sites and Services to create a new site called Tropical.
  2. Configure the subnet for the Tropical site with the appropriate network prefix.
Move the new-VM Server into the New Active Directory Site
  • In Active Directory Services, move the new-VM domain controller into the new Sandy Active Directory site.

    Our domain name is corp.sandynetworking01.com.

Hint: In order to complete this task, you’ll need to correct three issues. One issue is with the services in the Azure portal, and the other two issues are located in a VM.

Confirm a Site Link between the Two Active Directory Sites
  • Use Inter-Site Transports to confirm that a link has been created between the two Active Directory sites.
