Hello - all of the videos are brilliant to watch. Can I ask how you would set up Server 2019, connecting two or more windows 7 or 10 clients but not using virtual machines. I have laptops with server and client software ready to go. Do I follow same approach? Not sure how to configure addressing and to allow internet access through the server I guess, but via ethernet to the clients. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you

Thanks for the lesson sir! But let say if I make a separate dns server on centos7 and dont install dns services in windows servers would it still become a domain controller

hey there, i set up the DC and DNS server as shown. I was able to join the domain with my workstations, but they don't have internet connection when the DNS address is pointed at the DC (works fine with auto, but i lose domain access)The DC has internet connection if i set the DNS address to 127.0.0.1/8.8.8.8/auto. but if i point it at the DC's IP address, that loses internet connection too. Did i mess up setting up the DNS?
