Hi Eli,
Thank you for this video. I appreciate it that you take the time to explain computer fundamentals in laymen terms. You cut through all the B.S. to help newbies like myself to understand something that felt like it was over my hear.
You are just such a blessing Eli God bless
Thank you sooo much! Had to change some stuff because Im doing this in VMW Esxi. thanks Sir
How to turn off other DHCP in network?
Can I delete administration PC which I have added?
Is this thru same AD DS?
Excellent tutorial.
I had an issue when doing this for the first time, in that I had to put a full-stop at the end of my domain name on the computer, before it would join my Domain. The DNS record does show a full stop at the end of the domain but I'm told that's normal.
Nice
Must watch,recmended for you

Nice video. I followed this guide and finally understand how to join to a domain. However, I still don't understand why it prompts 2 times to enter Administrator credential for joining domain. If the Administrator credential is okay, it shall directly add the computer to the domain. I stuck on here whole day until saw your video.
As an alternative to fiddling around in the router settings you can also run ****djoin /PROVISION /MACHINE <MachineName> /SAVEFILE <Filepath> **** in the server's commandline and then go to the client host and join manually.
Is the process the same with Windows 10 computers for business?
for those who cannot get ur dns suffix, you can try set ur 2008 vm also to bridge, and make sure to configure ur ipv4 to auto
what happens if your are not using virtualbox. Instead you are using hyper V on server manager? (e.g) my DNS Suffix says 'home'
How can i fix this?
Do I need a CAL for every computer in the domain. Im only using the server for active directory and file sharing
I am a 65 yr old self-employed tech working via Field NATIONs, going on 6 yrs. Your conversational style of teaching very cool.
I was stuck for at least 2 hours trying to figure out why I can't join the domain. I kept googling and some people had issues related to not typing the domain correctly but in my case, it was simply the damn DNS configuration on the client computer; needed to specify the DNS (the server's static IP address) and 8.8.8.8 as the secondary for google DNS just for kicks (my source: infopackets.com).
when I turn off the DHCP server on my router, how can internet work on my other devices?
can i use another windows server 2012?
So the configurations are all done on the client side looks like.
Assuming the domain controller is all setup on the server side.
Otherwise, looks fairly straightforward.
Hello Eli , you are teaching in a brilliant way but my client (windows 8 pro) is not pulling the IP from DHCP server(server 2012). i have checked your basic DHCP and DNS server tutorials but still not able to fix it. if you could please explain this point as well then it will be great .
You've broken this down perfectly. Thanks so much
why is my ipconfig qnd my suffix is empty? i dont understand and idk how will my domain will shiw there
thank you. it works!
Thank you for useful tutorials, I want to access my domain globally as google.com. can you please help me how can I do that with windows server 2012 r2.
Thankyou very much for making our life easier 😄
Thanks so much, great explanation.
