Since this will be the only домен controller in this lab example, both the forest and домен functional levels will remain at Windows Server Технічний попередній перегляд (I use Windows Server 2016 from VLSC, but is recognized as Технічний попередній перегляд). Leave a checkbox on the Домен Name System (DNS) Сервер to make this system a DNS server. The option for GC is checked without the ability to modify since the first домен controller must be a Global Catalog server. The third option is unchecked and unmodifiable because the first домен controller cannot be a Read-Only Домен Контролер;
4. Enter a DSRM пароль і натисніть Далі;
5. для DNS options, there is no existing DNS infrastructure since this is our first домен controller. So, the warning can be ignored. Натисніть the Next кнопку;
