What do we need in order to successfully install Active Directory on a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 server?
Here is a quick list of what you must have:
An NTFS partition with enough free space
An Administrator's username and password
The correct operating system version
A NIC
Properly configured TCP/IP (IP address, subnet mask and - optional - default gateway)
A network connection (to a hub or to another computer via a crossover cable)
An operational DNS server (which can be installed on the DC itself)
A Domain name that you want to use
The Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 CD media (or at least the i386 folder)
Brains (recommended, not required...)
