Configure Child Domain on Windows Server 2019

 

Configure Child Domain on Windows Server 2019:-
-----------------------------------------------

The main difference between child domain and tree domain is that child domain is a logical grouping of network objects (domain) under a parent domain while tree domain is a set of domains in the active directory hierarchy.

A child domain is a subdomain of another domain in a tree which we call the parent domain. In the active directory hierarchical structure, the subdomain segmentation helps partition the active directory into smaller segments. It is useful when we have a sub-business design and geographical differences.

Step-1) First of all assign the ip address to Main Server, Child Domain Server machine.

Configuration on Main Server:-

------------------------------

IP = 192.168.10.2

SM = 255.255.255.0

DG = 192.168.10.1

Preferred DNS Server = 192.168.10.2

Alternate DNS Server = No Need

Configuration on Child Server:-

-------------------------------

IP = 192.168.10.3

SM = 255.255.255.0

DG = 192.168.10.2

Preferred DNS Server = 192.168.10.2

Alternate DNS Server = No Need

Server Name = child

Step-2) Ping to all computer machine to each other.

Step-3) Change the server name of DC & create a Domain. In my case the Server name is dc & domain name is opensource.com

Note:- How to configure ADDS you can follow this link.

Step-4) Change the child domain server name. In my case the Server name is "child". Go to the Server Manager & you will see the "AADS Roles" has been installed.

Step-5) You can also see that server is in "Workgroup."

Step-6) Go to the Server Manager & you will see the "AADS Roles" has been installed.

Step-7) Select "Add a new domain to an existing forest", select the domain type as "Child Domain".

Step-8) Select change option & give the "User_Name = administrator@opensource.com & Password = admin@123" & click "Next". option.

Step-9) Select "Domain Name Server_(DNS) & Global_Catalog_(GC)" option thereafter give the "DSRM Password" & click on "Next" button.

Step-10) Select "Next" option.

Step-11) Select "Next" option.

Step-12) Select "Next" option.

Step-13) Select "Next" option.

Step-14) Select "Install" option.

Step-15) After restart the server machine you must verify from command prompt or PowerShell to type these command "netdom query fsmo".
