Setting Up Server 2008

Hello everyone. I am playing around with Server 2008 Enterprise. I have it
installed as a virtual machine along with XP Pro, as a virtual machine. I
would like to setup a domain and active directory with just those two
operating systems. My tower is connected to a router and a cable modem.

XP gets an IP address from the router. Is it possible to establish a domain
and have my XP Pro VM join a domain, get an IP address from the server and
have DNS working?

Thanks.

Hello John,Yes, it is possible in a virtual environment.

Hello John,

Yes, it is possible in a virtual environment. But for the ip addressing you
have to choose either fixed addresses or disable DHCP on the router. Use
only one DHCP server to avoid conflicts, server or router. But i prefer fixed
addresses for the VMs, as for a server always.

Best regards

Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for your reply. So, I do not have to install DHCP server on the
server itself?
