Domain Controller 1
Accounts
Most Secure Password = P@ssw0rd
PC Name
First I'll be renaming my server as shown below.
Network Settings
Its important to set a static IP for our Domain Controller.
Active Directory Services
Next, I'll be adding the active directory domain services role on to the server.
Promoting Server to DC
Once the active directory domain services is done installing, there'll be a prompt asking to promote the server to a Domain Controller. Let's go ahead and do that.
After a restart the domain will be populated as shown bellow. If you see something like this, you've done it correctly.
DNSClient Server Address
Now that we have the Active Directory service up and running, we can set the correct interface which will be handling our DNS Queries.
Active Directory Certificate Services
Next, AD Certificate Services can be optionally added to the server for LDAP.
Configuring Certificate Services
Similar to the case above, a prompt will request to configure the Certificate Services.
Reboot the server for changes to take place!
Adding Users & Service Accounts
I'll be adding a couple users into the domain for the lab's purpose.

Service Account
Go ahead and copy he Administrator account to create the service account.
Service Principal Name (SPN) setup
A service principal name (SPN) is a unique identifier of a service instance. SPNs are used by Kerberos authentication to associate a service instance with a service logon account. Lets go ahead and create that.
Verify SPN
Now that we have setup the SPN, lets verify that its up and running as per expectations.
