COC 3 -STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE

1. Router Configuration
 Reset the router (press the reset button of the router for about 15 sec.)
 Change the network connection properties:
a. Right click on the network connection icon at the bottom right corner of the task
bar
b. Click on the Open network and sharing center
c. Click “change adapter settings”
d. Right click Ethernet connection icon

g. Click properties
h. Click “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address
automatically”
i. Click “Ok”
- Repeat steps “a – i” on Desktop Client & Laptop Client
 Disable network connection of client computers by right clicking the Network
connection icon and click “Disable”
 Press windows logo + r ; type “cmd” and press “Enter”
 In the command prompt type “ipconfig”
  Get the Default gateway IP address
 Open the web browser (Internet explorer, Google chrome etc.)
 Type the Default gateway IP Address into the address bar and press “enter”
 Click the “Add” button
 Click the “Add” button (again)
 Log in to the router set-up page (commonly the user name and password is
“admin”)
 Click “Advance settings”

 Replace the SSID (any name you can remember) and click “Ok”
 Click “security” and disable the WPS
 Type the password for your Wi-Fi (123.css) and click “Ok”
 Click LAN and replace the IP address (according to the number assigned to you);
click “Ok” and reboot the router (normally, the router automatically reboots after
you change its IP address)
 Reload the Log in page on the browser (this time the IP address should be the new
router IP address) and Log in using the same user name and password
 Click “DHCP” replace the Address pool (ex. Start IP : 192.168.7.1; End IP:
192.168.7.5) and click “Ok”
 Return to command prompt; retype Ipconfig and press “Enter” (the IP address
should be replaced by 192.168.7.1)
 Go to the client computers and enable the network connection for them to obtain
the IP address from the router.
 Check the clients’ IP address thru “Ipconfig” command (make sure that the clients
have the same subnet mask as the server and the router)
 Perform “ping” test command in the “cmd” prompt (ex. Type: “ping 192.168.7.2”)
for all the computers. The 3 computers should reply.
2. “ADDS” - ( For Server Only)
 Refer steps on changing the IP Address (Part I, 1, a – j), however replace the IP
address with “Use the following IP Address” instead of obtaining the address
automatically; type the IP address recently assigned by the router to the Server
(ex. 192.168.7.1). Remember that from this on the server computer should have
Static IP Address.
 Return to Web browser and log in to the router setup; go to DHCP settings and
disable the DCHP by Clicking the check box (uncheck the box)
 Open Server Manager. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click
Server Manager.
 In Roles Summary, click Add Roles.

then click next.
 Note: On a server that runs Windows Server 2008 R2, you might have to click Add
Required Features to install .NET Framework 3.5.1 features before you can click next.
 If possible, review the information on the Active Directory Domain Services page, and
then click next.
 On the Confirm Installation Selections page, click Install.
 On the Installation Results page, click close this wizard and launch the Active Directory
Domain Services Installation Wizard (dcpromo.exe).
 Press windows logo + r ; type “dcpromo”

installation options.
On the Operating System Compatibility page, review the warning about the default security
settings for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controllers, and then
click Next.

accommodates the domain controllers that you plan to install anywhere in the forest, and
then click Next.
 On the Set Domain Functional Level page, select the domain functional level that
accommodates the domain controllers that you plan to install anywhere in the domain,
and then click Next.
 Note: The Set Domain Functional Level page does not appear if you select the Windows
Server 2008 forest functional level on a server that runs Windows Server 2008 or if you
select the Windows Server 2008 R2 forest functional level on a server that runs Windows
Server 2008 R2.
 On the Additional Domain Controller Options page, DNS server is selected by default so
that your forest DNS infrastructure can be created during ADDS installation. If you plan to
use Active Directory–integrated DNS, click Next. If you have an existing DNS infrastructure
and you do not want this domain controller to be a DNS server, clear the DNS server check
box, and then click Next.
 If you do not have static IPv4 and IPv6 addresses assigned to your network adapters, a
warning message might appear advising you to set static addresses for both of these
protocols before you can continue. If you have assigned a static IPv4 address to your
network adapter and your organization does not use IPv6, you can ignore this message
and click, Yes, the computer will use a dynamically assigned IP address (not
recommended).
 Important: We recommend that you not disable the IPv6 protocol.
 If the wizard cannot create a delegation for the DNS server, it displays a message to
indicate that you can create the delegation manually. To continue, click Yes.
On the Location for Database, Log Files, and SYSVOL page, type or browse to the volume and
folder locations for the database file, the directory service log files, and the SYSVOL files, and

recovery efficiency, store these files on separate volumes that do not contain
applications or other no directory files.
 On the Directory Services Restore Mode Administrator Password page, type and

necessary.
 To save the selected settings to an answer file that you can use to automate
subsequent ADDS operations, click Export settings. Type the name for your answer
file, and then click Save.
 When you are sure that your selections are accurate, click Next to install ADDS.
 You can either select the Reboot on completion check box to have the server restart
automatically or you can restart the server to complete the ADDS installation when
you are prompted to do so.

the IP address of your DNS Server, which in this case is the same machine–but be
careful not to put the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as this will be the address your
clients will go to for name resolution.
 Click next again to skip the WINS setup, this will bring you to creating a DHCP Scope,
where you can click the Add button.
 Now you need to:
o Give your scope a name ( any name or word you want to use)

server IP address)
 o Enter the last address that you want available to clients to use
o Enter the subnet mask (usually 255.255.255.0)
o Enter the IP address of your default gateway
 Once you have clicked on OK, you can click next 4 times to get to the confirmation
