Windows Server 2022 - Joining A Windows 11 Computer To A Domain | Session 3

In this ittaster session you'll learn how to join a Windows 11 client computer to a Microsoft Windows Server 2022 domain in your test lab. We'll also carry out pre-requisite checks before joining the domain to avoid potential issues.
Joining a Windows 11 computer to a Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Active Directory Domain, provides centralized management of users, computers and resources, and supports a client/server network model.
Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services is the corner stone that provides Access and Identity Management (IAM), in an on premises Microsoft Windows Server network.
Topics / skills covered
------------------------------------
1. Pre-requiste checks
2. Join Windows 11 computer to the domain
3. Creating a new organisational unit (OU) in Windows Server 2022
4. Moving computer objects
5. Logging on to the domain and verify domain join

Your videos on AD are so good and so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make them for us.

[@ittaster]

Glad you like them!

[@mrd4233]

One of the best channels for Windows Server demos! Many thanks!

[@ittaster]

Much appreciated! Thank you so much for supporting the channel👍

[@dasentertainment2175]

i am so happy that first time I was able to join computer with AD.

[@tesfayebaba]

In case you're running your workstation directly on your computer and your Server on a VM on another computer, Ensure that in your VM network settings, you use a Bridged Adapter instead of NAT and select the exact WiFi card of your host computer for the pinging to work. And also enable promiscuous mode too in advance.

[@snowbjim]

I think this is where lots of people will fail. Best to cover all bases in the tutorials. Esp running everything from a VM.

[@ЯрославБусько-д5с]

Hey, think I'm stuck on that particular moment, and maybe somewhere else, not sure but after I connected to DNS server, my PC lost connection, and don't know why that happened. Do I have to be connected to a network in my VM machine or not really? Thanks for answering

[@robertcollcott6579]

Another great video Jon, thanks for showing how easy Windows 11 is to join to a Windows server network, one on my List to do for sure Very clearly explained as well

[@ittaster]

Thanks Robert👍

[@kg3474]

great work! it would be better if video is in 1080p. thank you!

[@TGabriel1990]

Please don't give up to upload videos ... you explain very good .... the best for you!!

[@ittaster]

Thanks, don't worry I have no plans to give up KZbin👍

[@Connordoggett]

This has helped massively every time I tried befit I entered the admin username and password and it kept failing but forgot to do the servername\account

[@rons7555]

Good job. Keep it up. 👍🏼 Helps me understand the topic, very well.

[@ittaster]

Hi Ron, I'm glad the video was helpful. Thanks for the support and comments👍

[@12mavo]

Nice content, refreshed my rusty skills greatly, Thank you

[@harshachandrashekar8066]

This is was exactly what I needed. Thank You !

[@vinvvinv7460]

Hi, can you please make a video on what is GMSA (Group Managed Service Accounts) & explain how to set it up & how to add systems to it? Please its a request do reply

[@El_Mouse]

I appreciate your work, really, if it weren't for you I would be completely lost, however I just wanted to throw a little fun fact I found, in this 3 video tutorial series, at first I couldn't use the default network from Oracle VM VirtualBox (NAT) so I followed some other youtuber advice and went ahead by setting up a custom NAT Network so both my Windows Server 2019 machine could communicate with the Windows 10 Enterprise machine (Both Virtual Machines), and adapted your work by setting the IP Address (IPv4), Subnet, Gateway and DNS accordingly to my new virtual network, after that I was able to sync both machines and was able to set up a domain, a working server, and the corresponding machine and credentials already registered. (All of this part of an assignment I have for college, which for sure I will pass thanks to your excellent guide

[@ittaster]

Hi, thanks for the great feedback and sharing experiences with your own lab set up. Adapting things as you have is a great way to learn, good to hear you have everything up an running. To answer your question about the network mode set up I used for the video. I tend to switch to 'Internal' network in the lab to sandbox things, particularly when working with DHCP role. I wish you well with your assignment, thanks for sharing👍

[@taylorstechsolutions]

LORD this saved me so much heartache @El Mouse, my VirtualBox setup not being bridged has been the reason for HOURS of troubleshooting and not finding the issue. I'm sure it is an easy fix to some people, but this has been hanging me up for literal DAYS. Thanks! And great video, ittaster!!!

[@ivanhernandez6359]

You should really make more videos on this series, very helpful

[@ittaster]

Thanks👍

[@batman1169]

Can you explain or do a video on an example for a new user in another city/remote user gets a new computer out of box and we need them to help them join the domain. Let them create default user/admin log on to remote software , we set up another admin user , log in and set up VPN software and join domain. Seem to be seeing this after Covid a lot

[@supriyochatterjee4095]

Great to see you back Sir, wishing you and your family a very very happy new year ahead from Kolkata, West Bengal, India, God bless all, wish you make videos related to Windows Server Migration, Windows Server OU MIGRATION, Windows Server Provisioning and Cloning and Backup Management, Windows Server Certificate Creation and Generations and installations and all other kinds of various technical troubleshooting scenarios for Windows Server

[@ittaster]

Happy New Year to you and your family too! Many thanks for commenting with your thoughts and ideas 👍 Best Wishes Jon

[@davidlarry1792]

@@ittaster Happy New year sir,, am really new in your channel and it's very interesting to have you here... I have a dell poweredge server R310 i installed windows server 2019 on it... Am trying to connect to my router ip address when i ping the network everything seems okay but the ethernet symbol shows unidentified network no internet.... Please i really need some help sir

[@ittaster]

Hi, my suggestion would begin with checking connectivity with the router by pinging it, and also take a look at your default gateway config on the server.

[@AlessandroTimmi]

Hi Jon, thanks for the great video. I'm stuck at 4:50, when you do nslookup of the server by name. It only works for me if I disable IPv6 on my client. Apparently, my client is prioritising IPv6 over IPv4, which I understand is normal behaviour. Microsoft recomments to leave IPv6 on, as it is an essential part of Windows. I understand IPv4 can be prioritised over IPv6 on clients by editing the registry, but I was wondering whether there is a more elegant solution to my problem. Thank you for your attention!

[@ittaster]

Hi, it shouldn't be necessary to perform a registry edit. A possible suggestion to consider would be to check DHCP server config > scope options (DNS server IP, domain name issued to clients)

[@jameshookings4914]

Great videos John, you explain things so well. Keep up the good content!

[@davoodd1638]

Hi sir, thanks for sharing your knowledge via this awesome video, is 16 GB of Ram adequate to run a Win server along with 2 clients? Thanksf

[@muazzamchoudhury3939]

Hi Loving the content as I'm a new IT apprentice that has started last week. Being able to digest all this information is such a blessing, however I've got so many questions! In an massive organisation eg. school, college, there are many PCs. Joining each one to a domain would be extremely time consuming! I was wondering when capturing a deployment image, would the domain be part of the image if it was put in before the capture? Apologies for any stupid questions as I've only started and have no idea about networking.

[@ittaster]

Hi, there are a number of options ranging from using an unattended answer file, to system management software SCCM (now Endpoint Manager) for example.

[@SamusLovesMilk]

if you make a golden image, each and every single setting and file will be in that image. If you've joined a domain, the deployed image will also be joining that domain

[@Red1Wollip]

Jon, I am installing a new Netgate PF Sense firewall as my primary interface to my WAN. My question is , "Should I assign a VLAN to my Windows Server 2022 box and then set that box as my AD DC"?

[@firsttimegamingfirsttimega428]

Hey I'm just learning all this and was wondering if you had a video on data migration from a peer to peer network to a more centralized network and how to do it? thanks for a great video.

[@ittaster]

The nearest video I have is one that deals with file/folder permissions, this may be of some help? Many thanks for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video👍

[@waeltn73]

hello sir can you talk in a video about cheap windows server keys and what they represent as danger to windows server installation and Security. I am so confused

[@IDONTKNOW2000100]

Thank you for all the effort, it really helps a lot!

[@ittaster]

You're very welcome!

[@DeadTux]

Are you planning on adding to this series?

[@ittaster]

I'm hoping to yes.

[@Cain57]

I have a great idea for a new video, how can I contact you to explain, it will be most helpful for people who wish to migrate from WS 2012 and WS 2016 to a newer WS.

[@cubancripto]

if you only knew how easy you make this. I started knowing literally NOTHING. Did it in thirty minutes. The VM made it difficult. I'm trying to keep up with my father. He has 103 IT certs. I have none. So you can imagine.

[@ittaster]

Sounds like you're making great progress!👍

[@Codyflips]

are you able to have some remote into the "training" computer ? Im trying to have one of my employees remote into a server that's safe and has a static ip

[@danielb4959]

Hi, I am trying to migrate a small office of 4 PCs and 4 users away from an sbs2011 DC. I plan to start from scratch with a couple of server 2022 VMs in a brand new forest as whoever setup the current forest didn’t do so correctly. Would it just be a case of establishing trust between forests and then migrating the users over and decommissioning the old server? If so does the migration process require any third party tools such as ForensiT? Or is it possible to revert a (non-roaming) domain user profile back to a standard local/workgroup profile on the client PC without losing any data or settings? To then join the new domain. Your reply would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks for the helpful videos.

[@OMARDON]

Such a good informative

Many thanks!

Great videos.🎉

[@jumaakanjo986]

Thanks alot for this helpful information. Actually I did every single step u made, but I get the folowing message when I ping the IP adress of the server: Destination host unreachable. Could u pls help with this?

[@ittaster]

Hi, check the Windows firewall on the server allows ping (ICMP)

[@walidkarawi]

hello thank you for your best tutorial first :) i have question here i joined a pc to my domain but the user still can install any app without administrator permission and password

[@ittaster]

It might be worth double checking if the user is logging on with a domain user account, and not a local account that may possibly have local admin permissions to the PC.

[@walidkarawi]

@@ittaster oh İ understand so entered to the other user with the user it created and and it worked 😊 thank you very much

[@eugenesive3976]

Another great video 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿I bought a router from the ISP. The router has a default ip of 192.168.14.1 I'm trying to give it a static IP 192.168.1.10 but internet keeps cutting off. Any solution for this?

[@ittaster]

Hi, your router will very likely have DHCP set up. If you are using it to connect your Windows lab (server and a client device). You could consider basing your server and client IP addresses around your ISPs router set up (192.168.14.x) assuming your router subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. eg. 192.168.14.100 for the test Windows Server & 192.168.14.110 for the test client workstation. But check those addresses aren't conflicting with any other devices on your network. Hope this is of help Jon

[@2dfx]

In regards to static IP assignments - what if I have laptops that need to remain mobile? IE what if I want them to be able to authenticate into the domain from anywhere, not necessarily from the same office?

[@ittaster]

Hi, DHCP is typically the preferred option for client devices such as laptops etc. In a multiple office scenario a WAN is likely to be in place or VPN solution.

[@mostar4617]

tell me please how Revert back to windows 10 from windows server standard 2022?????

[@mrgeebee1622]

Great series. Everything worked fine, until I moved the Workstation from Computers to the OU in AD. Now i get a popup that says "We can't sign in to your account" Sign out, I can use it, but it's only a TEMP user folder.

[@ittaster]

Hi, moving a computer object to a new OU should be fine. it might be worth moving the computer back and performing a 'gpupdate' on the client and rebooting, to rule out an issue with the OU like a GPO applied to it that may be affecting it.

[@mrgeebee1622]

@@ittaster Thanks, it didn't work. But I just disconnected it from the domain and connected again. Not sure why though. Oh and another question, could you make a video how to attach a secondary DC in the VM? I tried, did the Sysprep to reset the SID. Everything seems to work ok, but the second can't find the first one. I'm guessing a DNS problem, what should I point the DNS servers in the second one? I run a full DNS and DHCP on the first one.

Do i need to install windows 11 on my oracle VM to able to join them?

[@ittaster]

Hi, to follow the video you will need a Windows 11 (evaluation) VM to add to the domain

[@schlickracing4168]

I am trying to nslookup the DNS server and I am getting a non-existing domain. The address above this message is giving me an IPv6 address. I pretty much followed everything that you have done in the past 3 episodes. How can I go forward in trouble shooting this issue. Am I having this issue because I have a bridged connection to get my vms connect to the internet this way?

[@ittaster]

Hi, it might be worth double checking the IPv4 address config on the Windows client computer. The client computer DNS server address needs to point to the IPv4 address of the Windows Server with DNS role installed.

[@ChadDecker-p2z]

I followed everything you did and when I use CMD to ping ip for domain it works but when I try to ping the domain itself I get nothing. None of my computers can log into the domain either. Keep getting a message that the domain does not exist. Please help

[@ittaster]

Hi, check the DNS config of the workstation, it will need to point to the server to resolve it's FQDN.

[@iNewbieBoy]

In my windows 11 pro I tried to add my computer to the domain but it shows me a letter says “An Active Directory Domain Controller Could Not be Contacted” and even doesn’t show me the user and the password for the administrator!

[@ittaster]

Hi, run nslookup from the client PC to check you are able to resolve the domain controller by it's hostname and FQDN. It's sounds like the client PC DNS config may not be pointing to the DC.

[@iNewbieBoy]

@@ittaster how can I run the nslookup?

[@ittaster]

Hi, take a quick look at the video at 4:57 where I run a ping and nslookup to test communication with the server.
