Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Service (DNS), and DCPromo (the command-line tool that creates DNS and Active Directory) can be installed manually or by using the Windows 2000 Configure Your Server Wizard. This guide uses the wizard; the manual procedures are not covered here.  
 
1) Press Ctrl-Alt-Del and log on to the server as administrator. Leave the password blank.  
 
2)When the Windows 2000 Configure Your Server page appears, select This is the only server in my network and click Next.  
 
3)Click Next to configure the server as a domain controller and set up Active Directory, DHCP, and DNS.  
 
4)On the What do you want to name your domain page, type Reskit.  
 
5)In the Domain name box, type com. Click on the screen outside of the textbox to see the Preview of the Active Directory domain name. Click Next.  
 
Note As shown in Figure 2 below, the combined name will appear as reskit.com in the Preview of Active Directory domain name box. The wizard puts the dot (.) into the name.  
 

6)
Click Next to run the wizard. When prompted, insert the Windows 2000 Professional CD-ROM. When the wizard is finished, the machine will reboot.  
 
The Configure Your Server Wizard installs DNS and DHCP and configures DNS, DHCP, and Active Directory. The default values set by the wizard are: DHCP Scope:  
 
 10.0.0.3-10.0.0.254
 
Preferred DNS Server: 127.0.0.1
 
IP address: 10.10.1.1
 
Subnet mask:  255.0.0.0
 
Reskit.com is the Active Directory domain and DNS name, and reskit is the down-level domain name.
