Preconfigure the Windows Servers
After Windows Server is installed, configure these items on the Windows Server, either through the Server Manager on Windows Server installations with the Desktop Experience feature or by using sconfig.cmd on Server Core installations:
- Change the hostname for the Windows Server installation. Leverage the server naming convention and/or policy within the organization.
- Check for proper Windows Activation of the Windows Server operating system.
- Update the Windows Server installation with the latest updates.
- Configure the server with at least one static IPv4 address and/or a static IPv6 address. Leverage the networking plan and zone assignment policies within the organization. Avoid multi-homing domain controllers.
When the intended domain controller is to run as a virtual machine within a cloud environment, such as Amazon's AWS or Microsoft's Azure, let the cloud provider assign the IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses, because manually setting these addresses might break the connectivity of the Windows Server installation. Instead, use IP address reservations to make sure intended domain controllers remain reachable over the same addresses.
- Check for at least one connected LAN connection: Without a connected LAN connection, the promotion of a domain controller will fail. This is by design.
- Configure proper naming resolution: As DNS plays a vital role in locating Active Directory, make sure DNS is properly configured. Plan for Active Directory-integrated DNS. Don't forget the DNS stub zones and/or conditional forwarders when creating a new Active Directory domain and/or forest. Deploy WINS or GlobalNames zones in legacy environments.
- Configure the pagefile correctly.
- Implement information security measures: Deploy agents for anti-malware, uninterruptible power supplies, backup and restore, Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM), Technology State and Compliance Monitoring (TSCM), advanced threat analytics, and other information security measures your organization's policies might require.
