SUMMARY

This article describes how to install and configure a new Active Directory installation in a laboratory environment that includes Windows Server 2003 and Active Directory. Note that you will need two networked servers that are running Windows Server 2003 for this purpose in a laboratory environment.

Creating the Active Directory

After you have installed Windows Server 2003 on a stand-alone server, run the Active Directory Wizard to create the new Active Directory forest or domain, and then convert the Windows Server 2003 computer into the first domain controller in the forest. To convert a Windows Server 2003 computer into the first domain controller in the forest, follow these steps:

1. Insert the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
2. Click Start, click Run, and then type dcpromo.
3. Click OK to start the Active Directory Installation Wizard, and then click Next.
4. Click Domain controller for a new domain, and then click Next.
5. Click Domain in a new forest, and then click Next.
6. Specify the full DNS name for the new domain. Note that because this procedure is for a laboratory environment and you are not integrating this environment into your existing DNS infrastructure, you can use something generic, such as mycompany.local, for this setting. Click Next.
7. Accept the default domain NetBIOS name (this is "mycompany" if you used the suggestion in step 6). Click Next.
8. Set the database and log file location to the default setting of the c:\winnt\ntds folder, and then click Next.
9. Set the Sysvol folder location to the default setting of the c:\winnt\sysvol folder, and then click Next.
10. Click Install and configure the DNS server on this computer, and then click Next.
11. Click Permissions compatible only with Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 servers or operating systems, and then click Next.
12. Because this is a laboratory environment, leave the password for the Directory Services Restore Mode Administrator blank. Note that in a full production environment, this password is set by using a secure password format. Click Next.
13. Review and confirm the options that you selected, and then click Next.
14. The installation of Active Directory proceeds. Note that this operation may take several minutes.
15. When you are prompted, restart the computer. After the computer restarts, confirm that the Domain Name System (DNS) service location records for the new domain controller have been created. To confirm that the DNS service location records have been created, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS to start the DNS Administrator Console.
    2. Expand the server name, expand Forward Lookup Zones, and then expand the domain.
    3. Verify that the _msdcs, _sites, _tcp, and _udp folders are present. These folders and the service location records they contain are critical to Active Directory and Windows Server 2003 operations.

Adding Users and Computers to the Active Directory Domain

After the new Active Directory domain is established, create a user account in that domain to use as an administrative account. When that user is added to the appropriate security groups, use that account to add computers to the domain.

1. To create a new user, follow these steps:
   1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers to start the Active Directory Users and Computers console.
   2. Click the domain name that you created, and then expand the contents.
   3. Right-click Users, point to New, and then click User.
   4. Type the first name, last name, and user logon name of the new user, and then click Next.
   5. Type a new password, confirm the password, and then click to select one of the following check boxes:
      
      
      • Users must change password at next logon (recommended for most users)
      • User cannot change password
      • Password never expires
      • Account is disabled
      Click Next.
   6. Review the information that you provided, and if everything is correct, click Finish.
2. After you create the new user, give this user account membership in a group that permits that user to perform administrative tasks. Because this is a laboratory environment that you are in control of, you can give this user account full administrative access by making it a member of the Schema, Enterprise, and Domain administrators groups. To add the account to the Schema, Enterprise, and Domain administrators groups, follow these steps:
   1. On the Active Directory Users and Computers console, right-click the new account that you created, and then click Properties.
   2. Click the Member Of tab, and then click Add.
   3. In the Select Groups dialog box, specify a group, and then click OK to add the groups that you want to the list.
   4. Repeat the selection process for each group in which the user needs account membership.
   5. Click OK to finish.
3. The final step in this process is to add a member server to the domain. This process also applies to workstations. To add a computer to the domain, follow these steps:
   1. Log on to the computer that you want to add to the domain.
   2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
   3. Click the Computer Name tab, and then click Change.
   4. In the Computer Name Changes dialog box, click Domain under Member Of, and then type the domain name. Click OK.
   5. When you are prompted, type the user name and password of the account that you previously created, and then click OK.
      
      A message that welcomes you to the domain is generated.
   6. Click OK to return to the Computer Name tab, and then click OK to finish.
   7. Restart the computer if you are prompted to do so.

Troubleshooting

You Cannot Open the Active Directory Snap-ins

After you have completed the installation of Active Directory, you may not be able to start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, and you may receive an error message that indicates that no authority can be contacted for authentication. This can occur if DNS is not correctly configured. To resolve this issue, verify that the zones on your DNS server are configured correctly and that your DNS server has authority for the zone that contains the Active Directory domain name. If the zones appear to be correct and the server has authority for the domain, try to start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in again. If you receive the same error message, use the DCPROMO utility to remove Active Directory, restart the computer, and then reinstall Active Directory.

Create a Website

Step 1: Register a Domain Name

Before you even think about building your website, you should register a domain name. A domain name is the thing that looks like this: "yourdomain.com".
Your domain name represents the URL (or permanent web address) of your website. Therefore, when anyone types in "yourdomain.com" or "www.yourdomain.com", they will see your website.
You register your domain name through a domain name registrar or hosting provider. You simply check that your preferred domain name is available, then register it (online).
Domain names are registered on an annual basis, and you can usually register it many years in advance (or set 'auto-renew').
Prices can range from between $10 to $15 up to as much as $35 or even $45 (this is for the same product!). ZappyHost has some of the best prices on the web - and if you purchase hosting at the same time, the domain name is even cheaper ($1.99 at time of writing).
If you don't have a domain name yet, get your domain name now (before someone else beats you to it!)

Step 2: Get a Web Host

A web host (or hosting provider), is a company that makes your website available for the world to see. They have the equipment and technical skills to make sure your website is available to the world, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Choose your hosting provider carefully - a good host will have excellent support. A bad host can have almost no support at all! If you're new to creating websites, good support can reduce the stress that comes from doing something for the first time.
Also, some web hosts have an online website builder. A good website builder can enable anyone to make a website - even complete novices.
If you like the idea of using an online website builder, check out the website builder below. This enables you to build a website virtually within minutes, and hosting is included (as well as plenty of other extras).
If you don't need a website builder (i.e. you prefer to build your website by yourself), you can find some great hosting plans here. Once you've built your website, simply upload it via FTP.
If you'd like to learn more about web hosts, check out my web hosting tutorial.

Step 3: Build your Website

This part can be as easy or as hard as you like it to be!
The easy way? The easiest way to build a website is to use your web host's website builder (assuming they have one). As mentioned, ZappyHost provides Website Tonight which makes it extremely easy for you to make your website.
The hard way? OK, if you think a website builder sounds too much like cheating, you probably want to learn how to build a website the way the pros do it - by coding/programming. If this sounds like you, then see this introduction to making your own website. Also check out the Quackit homepage for links to thousands of pages of tutorials and other web building resources.

iPhone 5 the best

Apple’s eagerly awaited update of its popular iPhone smartphone, informally dubbed the iPhone 5 by the media, will officially debut in October, according to an analyst note obtained by Mac-centric blog AppleInsider. Sterne Agee analyst Shawn Wu wrote in a research note that the iPhone would also include support for China Mobile's TD-SCDMA 3G network, which boasts more than 650 million mobile subscribers—China Mobile is the world’s largest cellular operator, suggesting Apple is working to position the latest iPhone as a global device.
Wu also wrote that the iPhone will include greater support for Chinese customers through the iOS 6 operating system and digital concierge Siri, with the ability to understand and respond in Mandarin and Cantonese, as well as overall greater integration for Chinese social networking sites like Baidu. Among the other enhancements will be a slightly larger screen size, 4G LTE wireless modem and a general redesign, Wu noted. "We believe these new features will likely help drive a significant upgrade and new user cycle more powerful than what we saw with the iPhone 4 and 4S," he wrote in the investor note.
Before the debut of the new phone, which would come a year after the latest update of the iPhone, the 4S, Wu said Apple could sell up to 27 million iPhones in the June quarter, and see sales dip to 25 million in the September quarter. "This is more of a function of the transition ahead of the upcoming 6th generation iPhone refresh likely in October timeframe as opposed to weak demand," he wrote.
For iPhone owners who are planning to upgrade to the latest edition (whenever it actually lands on store shelves), they may be faced with a new connector for plugging in the smartphone—technology blog TechCrunch said this week that they had independently confirmed the latest iPhone will drop the 30-pin port for a 19-pin port. The report sent a shockwave through the Web, angering many longtime Apple fans who felt they would now have to replace any and all iPhone accessories to fit the new port—Apple has used the 30-pin design on all mobile devices since the third generation iPod music player.
The launch of the latest iPhone will also likely coincide with the release of the updated iOS 6 mobile operating system, which Apple previewed at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) earlier this month. Among the 200 features added to the mobile OS are an updated Siri, Facebook integration for Contacts and Calendar, and a new Passbook app, as well as the introducing of a maps application that will replace Google Maps with Apple’s own in-house platform. The app will feature real-time traffic information and data—for local searches—on more than 100 million businesses, including info cards tied to Yelp ratings, reviews, photos and deals.
